Armada Dj Services & The "Un"-professional Photographer

27/2/2020

0 Comments

 
While there may not be much going on in the events space right now, rest assured that when things return to something that resembles "Normal" Armada Dj Services will still be here. Open for business & better than ever.
  • How do we plan to do that?
  • Well, I'm glad you asked ;)
  • The same great attention to detail plus better services.

The "Un"-professional Photographer​

Let's take a look at a few candid photos from Kasey & Paul's wedding ceremony which was held at a rustic little gem called Barn & Co on the Mornington Peninsula.

I am by no means a professional photographer. I like to think of myself as an "Un"professional photographer. No; I don't stand in the middle of the aisle with my smartphone blocking the professional photographers view during the ceremony. :-D

The "Un"professional Photographer is a nice little extra service we provide to our clients where we take candid photos before and during the wedding ceremony. These are later displayed on a medium sized flat screen TV thoughtfully positioned in the reception space. It’s a lovely surprise for guests to see family & friends (and themselves) on the screen as they walk in to take their seats at the reception.

No editing. No filters. No waiting. The photos can be provided on a USB thumb drive before the end of the night or drop-boxed to you the next day.

Full credit to the industry professionals in my DJAA network that share their ideas, knowledge & passion for what we do. You know who you are. :)

​Armada DJ Services would like to wish everyone a very happy new year and thank all of our amazing clients for their support during 2018.
Hundreds of people dancing to celebrate the start of a new year at Breeze Holiday Park Eildon Riverside
2019 is already off to a great start thanks to a fantastic New Year’s Eve event at Breeze Holiday Park Eildon. We welcomed in the new year playing every kind of party music from Roar (Katy Perry) to Runaround Sue (Dion) to a capacity crowd of families and holiday-makers spending the Christmas and New Year period at Lake Eildon.

To manage such a successful event would not be possible without the professional management of Breeze Holiday Park Eildon. Thanks to Yvette, Craig and their team for their amazing hospitality.

We’ve been ringing in the New Year at Riverside since 2013 and we’re very proud to announce that we’ve already confirmed our return to rock-in the new decade 2020! Be sure to book your cabin or camping spot for 2019. It’s going to be huge!

Glam Photobooths - Let Us Take Your Selfies
Throughout the night the photobooth was inundated with guests creating fun and hilarious mementos of their Christmas / New Year holidays. This year we took our open-air Selfie Station. The digital party-props and social sharing were a huge hit. Although there were some issues with mobile data reception on the night, which meant a delay in guests receiving their images.

Glam Photobooths will be back in 2019 (from 17:30pm) along with Armada DJ Services to provide the exciting entertainment program for you to ring in 2020. We look forward to seeing you all then! Happy New Year!​

Special thanks to all of the guests at Eildon Riverside Holiday Park who sang in the New Year to our mix-up of Aussie Classics, Party Anthems, Top 40 and Retro Hits. YOU helped create a wonderful atmosphere underneath the stars.
Here's a short video of the night.

Looking for one of the best Wedding DJ/MCs in Melbourne - My clients would say to look no further.

16/6/2016

There are some truly excellent Djs & MCs here in Melbourne. Now that I've established myself; I'm slowly getting to know a few of them. The building of these relationships has become an integral part of my growth in the Mobile Dj & Wedding Entertainment Industry. Using my existing skills, knowledge & passion coupled with the help and mentorship some of Melbourne's finest Djs & MCs, I'm now starting to walk amongst them as equal.

As you might guess by the feedback below, Wedding Receptions are an area that I'm specialising in. They are surely the most challenging and rewarding of events if done right. You have to apply yourself if you're going to excel at them though.

Despite the title of this blog post, I'm actually quite humble about such things; normally opting to down-play it all and not come across as being full of myself. The truth is though... What service provider of any type wouldn't want to share clients raving about the service they provide. What better way to attract more business and referrals. For myself, the real satisfaction comes from knowing that I've made a newly wedded couple's day/night so special. That they've entrusted me to make sure their event is perfect and as stress-free as possible. And that I've delivered on that promise.

Looking forward... there's lots more to learn when it comes to being a better Dj and Master of Ceremonies. But more about that in another post. ;)

Big thanks to my fellow Djs for their help and input. Even bigger thanks to our clients for their business and for taking the time to give their feedback.

Armada Mobile Djs & Glam Photobooths (Package Deals)

Here at Armada we love to see people letting their hair down and having a great time. And there's nothing like a Photo Booth to achieve just that feeling. There's just something special about stepping into the booth with your best friend, drawing the curtain and walking away with the photostrips. What's more those memories aren't locked up in someone’s smartphone. They're printed off in a matter of seconds and yours to keep forever. These examples from Toorak College’s Year 12 Valedictory are just what I'm talking about. One very special occasion captured and cherished forever.

Ask about a package deal price on Dj/MC & Photo Booth Services. It will save you money and time.

Hey everybody. I've been working behind the scenes on a great new feature where you can request songs for your event directly from your P.C, smartphone or tablet. 

There are currently 35 individual lists covering all years and major genres. Each list is what we consider to be the top 50 of their respective years & genres based on how well they get you dancing & singing or at the very least tapping your toes.

With over 2000 songs to choose from, you're bound to find just the right soundtrack for your event.

Armada Mobile Disco & Dj Services may be relatively new, but our story goes as far back as 1988 to a funky little venue underneath The Jam Factory on Chapel St here in Melbourne. Check out the full story here.

    About The Author and this Blog...

    Hi there, I'm Ian Wagner. Thanks for checking out my Blog. Since returning to Melbourne in 2007 and entering this next "Mobile Dj" chapter of my Dj career; I've entertained some truly wonderful people. Sure... Djing in clubs & venues has its percs, but I've really enjoyed being able to do what I love in a more intimate setting where people are just being themselves. 

    This is the place where I can share a little about the music, people and places that this business exposes me to. I hope you get something out of it. :)
