AKRON, OH -- Searching for that special-events DJ service can be
nerve-wracking! The choice is critical for a
wedding, but how can you be sure? The DJ Crew
takes the worry out of the choice and provides
the finest Disc Jockey service in the area.
Specializing in wedding receptions, John Kerata and Brian Park, owners of
The DJ Crew, provide Northeastern Ohio with the
best in the business.
We take a total approach to a wedding or event by using a team of two,
high-energy professional DJs,‚ said John. The bride and groom experience a worry-free
evening and a dance floor tailored to them and
their guests.‚ John says they also provide
ceremony music as well as entertain for other
events, such as corporate parties, school
dances, and more.
Research
Setting them apart from the crowd is their emphasis on research.
When we started The Crew in 2000, we did tons of research to make sure
we were approaching receptions and the training
of our DJs with the best method so our clients
experienced an incredible time,‚ said Brian.
No two receptions are the same. It¢s an
amazing job to be able every week to experience
a new crowd made up of the client¢s friends
and family. The joy is in the details and in
adapting to the people-- not just each night,
but every moment each night. We sense
their mood, and we change with them. That¢s
why our receptions are never boring. It¢s a
fun ride for us, too.‚
Their research and hard work have brought results. They were recently
nominated for Best DJ on Cleveland¢s Fox 8
hotlist and were featured live on their
broadcast.
Training is essential
The DJ Crew is also a stickler for training.
From our first day in business, we knew we had only one opportunity to
do a client's reception right,‚ said Brian. To
ensure this, John and Brian developed The DJ
Crew training program. We teach our employees
event structure, crowd adaptation, and how to
take care of a client. Our training program
makes sure all of our DJs are of consistent
skill level, but it also ensures that our brides
and grooms receive excellent service, no matter
which team they have.‚
All of The Crew employees start as assistant DJs with their training
focused on coordinating the entire reception,
microphone presence, music knowledge, song
transition, and reading a crowd.
We help them build a strong foundation in a classroom setting,‚ said
John, followed by extensive on-the-job
experience, which teaches them to adapt to the
uniqueness of each and every bride and groom.‚
Upon successful review, the assistant DJ then
has the option to train for the lead DJ
position.
A Two-DJ Concept
The Crew uses a two-DJ concept of a lead DJ and an assistant DJ at every
event. This total approach in planning a
reception makes the event run just as planned.
When we say we take care of everything for you on your wedding day, we
really mean it,‚ said Brian. A great
example of this is the bride and groom¢s grand
entrance into the reception. While one DJ is
lining up the bridal party in the lobby,
reconfirming the pronunciation of names and
making sure all are present and accounted for,
the other DJ is preparing the music for the
grand entrance, notifying the photographer,
notifying the hall to prepare for the best man's
toast, as well as getting all the guests seated.
A lot is happening in a short amount of time.
Coordination between the two DJs is a necessity.‚
Prep Work and Attention to Detail
The DJ Crew wants the wedding reception to be just as the bride and groom
imagine it to be.
Whether a couple is having dozens of dances and dedications, or just a
simple, laidback party, we want our DJs to be as
prepared as possible,‚ said John. Prior to
the wedding, the lead DJ goes over the entire
event with the couple to make sure nothing is
left to chance.‚
The Crew wants to know beforehand the atmosphere the couple wants to
create for their special day. They want to
discuss the flow of the evening and the timing
of all events. In particular, they are intent on
having the music the bridal couple chooses
including any must play‚ or do not
play‚ lists. They also coordinate with the
caterer, photographer, and other vendors to make
sure everyone is on the same page.
This attention to detail pays off in satisfied clients who have enjoyed
their special days.
A bride named Karen wrote, The DJ Crew is amazing! We were so happy
with them at our wedding. Our dance floor was
1900 sq. feet and they made sure it was packed
all night long! They played the perfect music, a
great mix and made sure our
"traditional" events went off without
a hitch. They were very entertaining without
being obnoxious, and made all of our guests have
a great time! They created the exact atmosphere
we wanted and really worked with us to achieve
exactly what we wanted. I love the DJ Crew and
would recommend them to anyone for any event!
"
A groom named Scott wrote, "My wife and I interviewed several
different DJs for our wedding. The DJ Crew made
our final decision easy. They are professional,
talented and fair-priced. Our wedding was
fantastic and our DJ made sure that we were
satisfied all along the way. Great service and a
great time. The DJ Crew is #1 in my book!"
Asked about their long-range goals, John said, We are building up to a
10-system DJ company for our current area,
Northeast Ohio. We won¢t go beyond that simply
because of managing quality control. However,
because of our approach to the business, in
breaking it down to a science,‚ we are
conceptualizing the possibility of franchise.
With the proper time to research a market, we
would be able to provide a turn-key business for
a hands-on investor.‚
