For those of you under contract, here are the Elan-DJ.com Planner Scripts, tips for success & Layout examples: (found at bottom following all the tips for success)

Important Tip #1: Once under contract, your planner script will be due no later than six weeks prior to the event. It is then turned into a one-page order-of-events first draft, which is sent to you--complete with questions/issues/suggestions highlighted, in pdf format. This goes back and forth until we have our final version which I then email to your pertinent servicing vendors after I have called them (caterer, venue, etc.) early in the week of your event. That way we are all working off the same page, eliminating territorialism which would have interfered with your ability to enjoy your big day.

Important Tip #2: For those of you who have hired the services of a full-service Professional Wedding Coordinator, please download accordingly but leave the grid area blank, completing everything else.

Important Tip #3: Although we do encourage all clients to pick a large portion of the music for their event, we regret to inform you that if you pick all of the music for your entire evening, we cannot guarantee that your guests will dance. Picking all of your music prevents us from going with the flow of what is working on the dance floor, effectively limiting us in our own field of expertise. A simple solution is to provide us with a list of too much music for your evening which allows us to pick and choose as necessary to keep the party going.

Success Tip #4: If you have an excellent handle on the bulk of your guest's favorite dance music styles then go ahead and pick more music than your contracted number of hours, if not, be more general when filling out your script after downloading it from the links below. In other words, just give us the styles of music and/or individual songs you absolutely do not want to hear. We will then construct your playlist of the most danceable and popular songs from the styles you do want.

Preferred DJ positioning: (if your reception layout does not match one of these four jpg's, a simple rule of thumb is to ensure that there are no tables between the DJ's location and the dance floor--blocking the DJ's view of his workspace.  Occasionally further discussion is necessary.)
