Why it matters
The DJ Is Who Holds
the Night Together
Your photographer captures the day and your caterer feeds it, but the DJ is the one steering it — cueing the processional, reading whether the room wants another slow song, getting 120 people from their tables onto a dance floor, and making sure nobody misses the toast because they were outside.
I've done over fifty of them in the past five years, at thirty-plus venues around North Georgia. Enough to know that the reception rarely runs exactly to the schedule, and that the job is mostly about absorbing that without your guests noticing.
That job doesn't fit neatly into a billing window, which is why I don't sell one. You get a single flat rate that covers the ceremony, the cocktail hour and the reception, and I stay until the venue closes. No overtime conversation at 10pm while your guests are still dancing.
I'm an open-format DJ, so I'm not going to lock your night into one genre. I take your must-play list and your do-not-play list seriously.
What's included
One Package, Everything In It
Ceremony
Prelude music, processional and recessional, plus a wireless lapel mic so your vows are actually audible at the back row.
Cocktail hour
Cocktail or coffee hour music while you're away with your photographer, then dinner music at a level where your guests can actually hear each other.
Reception & MC
Grand entrance with introductions, first dance and formal dances, toasts, cake, bouquet — announced clearly and on cue, with wireless mics passed round for speeches.
Lighting
Uplighting around the room, dance floor lighting once the party starts, and a lighted DJ booth rather than a trestle table and a laptop.
Sound & mics
Professional speakers, wireless handheld and lapel microphones, and backup equipment on site every single time.
Your playlist
Fully customizable — your must-play list, your do-not-play list, and special requests. You decide whether guests can request anything at all.
Planning
A pre-wedding consultation, help building your timeline, and a detailed questionnaire covering must-plays, do-not-plays and the run of the day — preview a sample. I share the finished timeline with your other vendors.
Additional fees only apply if you ask for something that needs extra time or expense — and we agree it in advance, in writing.
"Where other DJs charge extra for bringing lights, extra time, or multiple set-ups, DJ Tibor's pricing was fair, transparent, and straightforward."
— Emily Z., wedding couple
On the day
How It Actually Runs
-
About two hours before
I arrive and start setting up. Setup takes roughly an hour, so there's deliberate slack built in — if a table needs moving or the power isn't where I expected, it gets solved before guests arrive.
-
Ceremony
Sound checked and tested well ahead. Prelude as guests are seated, then the processional and recessional exactly on your cues.
-
Cocktail hour
Music continues while you're off taking photographs, and I reset the main room for the reception.
-
Grand entrance & dinner
Introductions for the wedding party, then background music at a level where your guests can hear each other talk.
-
Formalities
First dance, parent dances, toasts, cake. I announce each one so nobody is caught out or misses it.
-
Open dancing to close
Reading the room and keeping the floor full, mixing genres rather than running long blocks of the same sound. I stay to the venue's closing time.
Something extra
Karaoke, If You Want It
I host karaoke regularly at bars and restaurants around North Georgia, which means I can bring the whole thing to your reception — the library, the screens, the sound, and someone who knows how to get a nervous first-timer through their opening line.
Not every couple wants it, and it's entirely optional. But for the ones who do, it tends to be the part guests bring up afterwards.
"We busted out the karaoke at the end of both nights, and it was such a blast having everyone singing and dancing together. Guests are still coming to us saying it is the best wedding they have attended!" — Eryn B.
Venues
I've Probably Played Yours
That's thirteen of the thirty-plus wedding venues I've worked across Dahlonega, Cumming, Gainesville, Toccoa, Helen and beyond. Knowing a room in advance means I already know where the power is, how the space sounds once it's full of people, and how long load-in takes.
More of my weddings are in Dahlonega than anywhere else — five venues in that one town.
From couples and coordinators
What Wedding Clients Say
"I am a wedding coordinator at Forrest Hills Resort and he worked one of my weddings last Saturday. Not only did he provide a seamless transition from ceremony to reception, but he made my job so much easier. We are looking forward to working with him more."
"He helped out so much pre-wedding day with the timeline and helping us figure out which important things needed to be highlighted. He showed up early to make sure everything was perfect, and even added some of his own lighting to our decorations. The reception was better than I ever could have imagined."
"Absolutely phenomenal for my wedding! He even came and sang with my daughter at the end of the night. Such an amazing personality, and he was able to play every song that I wanted."
"He was so communicative and made sure the music was exactly what we wanted. All of our guests said that they loved his enthusiasm! I would recommend him to anyone."
"We didn't have a wedding planner and he made sure we were on target with our timeline, and he was so happy and proud to host. The karaoke was the best."
"He was genuinely excited about our eclectic disco song requests — he nailed every single one. His pricing is beyond fair for the level of service you get. We'd recommend him to any couple looking for a DJ who will treat your wedding like it's his own."
"He provided music and MC'd for our daughter's wedding! He was amazing and kept the flow of the evening running smoothly. Very professional and reasonably priced. Everyone had a blast!"
Wedding FAQ
The Questions Couples Ask
It isn't limited by hours. I'm there for the whole event, typically until the venue's closing time, for the same flat rate.
At least a month is sensible, and I take bookings more than a year out. I can sometimes accommodate last-minute dates — it's always worth asking.
I draft a contract you can sign online, then a 30% non-refundable booking fee holds the date. You can see a sample wedding contract before committing to anything.
Yes, I carry DJ insurance, and on request I'll add your venue to my policy — most venues ask for this.
Completely. The questionnaire covers must-play songs and a do-not-play list, and you decide whether guests can make requests at all — including which kinds of request I should decline.
I carry backup equipment to every event, without exception.
My usual range is about an hour from Cumming (ZIP 30041), but I'm open to weddings further out. Send me the venue and I'll tell you straight away.
Yes — salsa, merengue, bachata, cumbia, reggaeton and more. Here's a Latin night I hosted.
Let's Check Your Date
Tell me your date and venue and I'll come back to you — usually the same day. The initial questionnaire is the fastest route, but a phone call works just as well.
