The Pavilion Wedding DJ Welcome Page

Dear Pavilion and hence Musiq Entertainment DJ client,

Congratulations on your engagement and of course in choosing The Pavilion as the venue for your wedding reception. As of May 2012 Musiq Entertainment is now the proud supplier of DJs for all weddings at Pavilion. We have 14 years experience in providing DJs for weddings and other special events and are happy to be on board with the fantastic team from The Pavilion.

Firstly we'd like to let you know the most important ingredients in our service to you. We are here to help you have a great time at your reception. Even though you have received your DJ as part of your wedding package we treat every client the same, so you get the same service as any full fee paying customer. Our agenda for your reception is to play exactly the music you have asked for when you have asked for it. We also aim to read your guests minds in terms of their music tastes to play the music that we believe will be most likely to help as many of your guests enjoy the night as possible. We don't have ESP, but we are pretty good at it!

YOUR PACKAGE INCLUSIONS

As part of your package with The Pavilion you not only receive one of our friendly, well dressed and talented DJ's but also a PA system from which we play our music through and of course our commitment to providing you with the best possible service on and prior to your reception including playing all the songs you have requested.

You also have access to our expert knowledge in everything to do with your wedding entertainment in the lead up to your reception. From choosing songs, to adding extra entertainment and even in suggesting the best order of proceedings for the night.

SOME EXTRA SERVICES YOU MIGHT LIKE TO ADD

We can also help you out with
- A wireless microphone, which will be connected to our PA system and available for your MC to use throughout the night. $75 including GST.
- Additional hours of DJing. As part of your package you receive 5 hours of play time. If you have an extended reception we are more than happy to play longer for $100 per hour. Please organise this through your coordinator at the Pavilion and they will add it to your invoice.
- MC (Master of Ceremony) services. Some of our DJ's are happy to also act as the MC for the evening. The fee for this is $250 and we recommend that we meet with your prior to your wedding which is included in this fee. If you would prefer to have a separate person act as your MC then we can also help you out in finding one of these. Remember this is only subject to availability as only a few of our DJ's are experienced in MC duties. Contact us ASAP if you are interested.
- All of our DJ's are happy to play any traditional/cultural music that you are able to suggest or provide. In addition we have limited Greek and Arabic DJs among our ranks. We can book them in for you subject to their availability at no extra cost to you.
- A photo booth for your wedding. We offer all of our DJ clients the photo booth for up to 6 hours for the price of 3. PhotoboothME is part of Musiq Entertainment.
- Dancers, musicians, bands and singers of all sorts to entertain your guests.

MAKING YOUR REQUESTS

It's now time to introduce you to making your requests for your reception. We have put together in this resource blog a whole wealth of information to help you make your requests, and to provide you with suggestions and advice whenever you need it.

We ask you to make your requests on our wedding request form, and to have them filled out and back to us two weeks prior to your wedding. Please head towards the first stage of making your requests by heading to our Wedding request start page on the link at the bottom of this page where you will find our request form and of course all the information that you need to help make your requests.

Thank you for taking the time to read this information. We wish you the best with your wedding planning and please feel free to contact us at any time with any questions or advice your might have on improving these resources.

Corporate Function DJs

Hi There,

You are reading this page because you have engaged one of our Musiq Entertainment DJs to provide the tunes for your corporate event or function.

With most events, unless otherwise specified at the time of booking we will be providing you with a DJ for the entire duration of the event, a PA system, DJ console and a wireless microphone should you have any speeches and/or announcements that you would like to make.

If you have received our DJ as part of your package with one of the venues we supply to all events at WatervieW, L'Aqua, Starroom and Centennial Parklands Dining definitely come with the wireless microphone in the package. Events at Pavilion will usually use the in house wireless microphone at the venue and not that from our DJ console.

As with all events we supply DJs for, we are here to ensure that the music that we play is the same music that you and your guests want played. For most functions we recommend our DJs be trusted to read the crowd, take requests from guests and making sure everyone at your function no matter what age, gender or background has the opportunity to dance and/or enjoy the music at the event. We know not everyone will like every song we play, but we try and keep a variety of music going and play more of the styles and genres that are getting  a better reaction from your guests. Unless you specify to us before hand, all of our DJs are instructed to take requests from guests within reason. Sometimes the DJ will deem requested music as inappropriate, a dance floor killer or it may be a song that they don't have in their collection. In these cases, our DJs will politely let the person making the request know and ask them if they have any other songs that they will like to hear.

With many events, you will have a specific theme for the event, age group to cater to or have some specific songs you require to go with entrances, speeches or awards. We are more than happy to help you out with these requests or instructions. In the case that you may have some specific instructions or requests that you are aware of prior to the event, please do let us know with an email to r@musiq.com.au or by calling Rupert on 0412 024 012 to discuss your requirements. If you can email us these requests at least a full week before your event, that will give us time to ensure your DJ has the music you have asked for or to make other arrangements to get the music.

To give you an idea about songs and genres that our DJs would usually play, and be open to playing at your event we have listed some common music selections on the link below.

All the best with your event, please contact us if you have any questions.
