Tsvetomir Tsolov - host and DJ for weddings and events

To make a wedding celebration happen, a wedding DJ is needed to create the feeling of celebration for both the bride and groom and the guests. For many, the DJ is simply the person who stands behind the sound board and plays the right songs - the ones that are played at all other weddings. The truth is, it takes a lot more to make a modern wedding unique. It's an event that needs to be approached individually and with attention to every detail. That is why it is right to choose a professional. A person who knows how to feel the mood of the celebration and interact with people at all levels.

The DJ is an artist on whom it depends whether the wedding will turn into an unforgettable event, which all those present will remember with fondness. He and his team know how to evoke the right emotion at every stage of the celebration - from the signing ceremony to the moment when the newlyweds cut the wedding cake and the crazy dancing afterwards.

To be good at this craft it is not enough to use the latest generation of sound equipment. A modern dj for weddings is expected to not only take care of the quality sound system of the event, but also conduct the entire formal program in his role as a host as well. Therefore, it is necessary that he knows in detail the wedding traditions - both our Bulgarian and authentic international ones. This is important because in today's globalised world, marriages between people of different nationalities, ethnicities and cultures are increasingly common.

When planning their wedding reception, both the bride and groom and their loved ones expect to find a host who is communicative, presentable, artistic and able to entertain. One who doesn't work from a template, but successfully adapts to the wishes of their clients.

Why is it important to hire a good wedding DJ?

Finding a good DJ and emcee for a wedding is a key element to the success of the special event, as music plays a central role in creating a festive atmosphere and keeping guests in a good mood. The DJ skillfully manages the dynamics of the evening, keeping in mind the preferences of the bride and groom and the guests. He has the ability to feel the energy in the room and adapt the music so that everyone feels part of the important event.

Taking on the role of a wedding emcee, the DJ ensures that the wedding program will run smoothly and without unnecessary interruptions. The professional works closely with the bride and groom to create a personalized playlist tailored to their tastes and plan key moments such as the first dance, cake cutting and other highlights.

The technical part is also important - quality sound equipment and lighting contribute to a pleasant experience. A poor sound system or inappropriately chosen songs can spoil even the best organised wedding, whereas a professional approach ensures that all aspects of the music and entertainment part will be of a high standard.

How do you find a good DJ for a wedding or other event?

The easiest way to find a good DJ and emcee for a wedding is through a recommendation from friends. It's even better if you have the opportunity to see in person how the person in question works. We are often contacted by newlyweds who have been introduced to our work at their relatives or friends wedding reception. For us, this is the greatest compliment and most sincere testimonial about our work.

Since our services are available to anywhere in the country, it is logical that there are people who are not familiar with our way of working and our creative approach. Because of them, we have created our website where they can see our personal style and compare it with that of other wedding planners. There are enough videos on the site from which anyone can get a real idea of our skills and professionalism.

To make the right choice, it is advisable to meet the DJ in person. Phone conversations or email exchanges are a good starting point, but only with personal contact (in person or via video link) can you ensure that the DJ is personable, smiley, resourceful, has a nice sense of humor, and is knowledgeable about wedding elements. But most of all, it's how you can find out if this really is the right person for you to cater your celebration.

It is also important to specify what functions the wedding DJ will perform. Will he also be the host of the event, or would you prefer this activity to be performed by a separate person. Keep in mind that forming a team of a host and a DJ who do not know each other has its risks. No matter how great professionals they are, the stack between them may not always be successful. On the other hand, not all DJs are ready to take on the responsibility of being a host as well, and not all can perform in this role at the level required.

How are prices formed?

A professional DJ for a wedding can be hired at different prices, with each professional evaluating their work on different criteria. What my team and I try to achieve in pricing is to develop a few sample quotes, to which services and activities can be added as the bride and groom wish.

Our prices are clearly and correctly presented on our website, allowing potential clients to get to know each pricing option and the services it includes in depth. It is important to understand what forms the prices I set as a dj and host for a wedding, and that is:

• Time: In order to execute my engagement in a quality and professional manner on the wedding day itself, I spend a lot of time in preparation. It takes several meetings with the bride and groom, as well as the creative process of creating a custom script and personal playlist to build the look of a wedding. On the day of the event, my team and I typically work for about 20 hours, which includes transporting the equipment to and from the location, set-up, tear down of the equipment, in addition to the wedding.
• Skills and experience: by engaging a wedding presenter, you are in effect getting his talent, artistry, the experience he has gained over the years and not least his skills. Some of them are acquired from practice, but for others this professional has gone through paid trainings and courses.
• Team: in order to be successful a wedding DJ and host needs a stable and well-coordinated team behind him. It is unprofessional for someone to try to do all the hosting, sound and lighting services for the event alone. In these cases, the quality of the product becomes quite low and this is noticeable by everyone present. Having a well-trained team makes things look at a very high level, but invariably brings with it its costs.
• Flexibility: our team structure allows us to offer services in a way that fits almost any modern wedding format. Having a DJ and assistant DJs makes our team flexible and adaptable to the wishes of the bride and groom.
• Quality: my team and I do not compromise on any element of our responsibilities because we believe that the smallest detail matters. It is important to us to not just run the event, but to do it at the highest level possible.
• Individual handwriting: every wedding deserves its individuality. It needs as many personal touches as possible to set it apart and make all the guests remember it for a long time. In my role as a wedding emcee, I put all my creativity into composing a personalised text for a boudoir ceremony and scenarios for the party, but I also own a large number of indie composed and developed activities that are far beyond the clichéd ones that can be seen at almost every wedding.
• Modern equipment: the DJ's job is primarily to provide quality sound at every stage of the wedding event. Modern equipment is not cheap, but it allows us to provide world-class service. Our price quotes cannot help but be linked to the excellent technical facilities we have invested in.

In short, the cost of hiring a good emcee for a wedding is always justified because from him you will get professionalism, impeccable sound equipment and the ability to create a unique atmosphere. The DJ adapts to the mood of the guests, plans the program in detail and ensure a smooth transition between the different rituals. Investing in a quality sound system and a talented host will make your wedding day an unforgettable experience.
