Vision DJs Client Testimonial

Here is a recent testimonial from a wedding Vision DJs performed at the Miami Beach Botanical Gardens.

"From my first meeting I was impressed with the professionalism of everyone at Vision DJs. Our DJ was Jorge Antonatos and we could not be happier with his performance. He called me to go over our selections for the ceremony & reception a few days before the wedding. He arrived early to setup and went above and beyond to ensure that we were taken care of. He organized the wedding party and was so nice and friendly to everyone. He even brought us our first drink to the table. He played all the music we requested and the up lighting was beautiful in the exact color that I requested. We will definitely recommend Vision DJ to anyone who is planning an event. Thank you for doing such an amazing job!"

Happy Holidays

The Holidays are just a few days away and the New Year is knocking at our door. I wanted to take this time to Thank all of the many people that made Vision DJs one of the most requested DJ Companies in South Florida!

This year has been a challenging year for our country and we have not been immune to some of the economic conditions. Because of our Management, DJs and strong client base, Vision DJs is ready to serve South Florida for many years to come.

In 2010 Vision DJs will be celebrating it's 25th Anniversary. When I started the company back in 1985 straight out of High School, working a full-time job and meeting clients in a spare bedroom at my mother's house, I had set many goals and I am proud to say ~I have met many of those goals, including but not limited to being able to provide and amazing life for my family and for that, we are blessed.

Of course many of my accomplishments would not have been possible without the help of very special people in my life including my wife Lupe, who while going to college to obtain her teaching degree and being a mother to 2 growing boys would work part time in our office when we could not afford a full time office assistant. My two boys Jorge and Leo for understanding when Papa had to leave Friday, Saturday or Sunday to go to work instead of being able to spend time with them playing Wii or going to the park.

My good friend Alex Alba, with all his knowledge and cool head showed me how to be a better businessman and not stress over the little things. Most recently, Jorge Antonatos my business partner who is not only a great friend and business partner but an amazing DJ!

To all the DJs who I have had the pleasure of working with, attending DJ and wedding conventions and being able to learn from, I thank you. To the DJs who currently work with Vision DJs, I want to thank you for being an amazing group of DJ ~for heading out every weekend to ensure our clients are well taken care of and have the best celebration ever! To all the Coordinators and Venues who refer Vision DJs to their clients, we thank you. And finally our clients for entrusting Vision DJs with their once in a lifetime events! We are forever grateful to you!

I would like to wish you and yours the Happiest of the Holidays and an amazing 2010 and beyond!

Jorge Hernandez

Toasting Tips

Toasting Tips

May all your toasts be received in the spirit they are proposed

Interested in a few tips on how to propose a good toast? These days, the tradition of toasting is as rare as place cards – useful for a few formal events, but rarely executed well.

Should you find yourself at a wedding and asked to offer a toast, you want to be prepared with something wittier than “May you be happy.” To make sure you put your best foot forward – and not in your mouth – here are some tips from someone who should know: Toastmasters International President Gary Schmidt.

A toast should be “brief, personal and customized to the occasion,” he says. “Most of all, it should be heartfelt.” So don’t try to copy an existing toast, but pick a topic that is personal but appropriate.

You don’t drink alcohol? No problem; you can still offer a toast with sparkling juice. Never refuse to participate in a toast. It’s more polite to participate with an empty glass or a glass of water than not to participate at all. Here’s how:

• Keep it short – no more than a couple of minutes. Brevity is the soul of wit.
• Practice. Think about what you want to say, and practice the toast in advance. Use friends as sounding boards beforehand.
• Speak slowly, clearly and loudly (if no microphone is available).
• Be positive. This is not the time to recite the groom’s college pranks.
• Stay sober. Being coherent helps.
• Dress your best. If you look good, you’ll feel more confident.
• Use humor – but keep it clean. Don’t refer to “inside jokes” only a few people will understand.
• In summary – End on a bright note. Be sincere, be brief, be seated.
• If you are on the receiving end of the toast, stay seated and don’t drink the toast to yourself. At the end of the toasts, it’s your turn to make some comments.

At a formal event, it is recommended the person offering the toast stand, get the guests’ attention, lift glass by the stem and say “I propose a toast.” Allow time for the guests to fill and lift their glasses and shift their attention toward you. Then offer your comments, take a sip, and inviting others to do the same. At small dinner parties, however, there is no need to stand for the toast. Just lift your glass by the stem, speak and touch the glass of the person or persons involved.

Consider one of the most famous toasts of all: Humphrey Bogart’s words to Ingrid Bergman – “Here’s looking at you, kid” – in the legendary 1941 film Casablanca. Now trade “kid” for another endearment. No big deal? Maybe. But Bogie probably would have achieved another kind of immortality if he’d raised his glass to Bergman and said, “Here’s looking at you … babycakes!”
