Planning Your Wedding On A Budget – DIY Wedding Tips and Tricks – iPod Wedding Rental and Audio Video Rentals
Do you have a friend that’s a DJ, but they are from out of town? Maybe you are having a 50 person informal wedding v. a larger 150+ person wedding. Are you renting a back room at a restaurant or maybe your wedding is going to be a backyard BBQ style informal wedding?
Whatever the case is – there are some things that you can do for a DIY Wedding. The iPod Wedding has gotten some bad publicity in the news and on the internet. If you are expecting your iPod Wedding to be similar to a larger scale formal wedding – then you are going to be let down. If your friend is from Alaska and is a professional DJ, but just needs to rent DJ equipment, then it will be more like a formal wedding.
Asking for a musician friend to play your cocktail hours as your musician or for your wedding ceremony is a great way to personalize your wedding plans. We rent electric keyboard or band PA systems to make it all work for your wedding ceremony and reception needs.
We’ve seen both these situations while doing iPod wedding rentals. A relaxed beach wedding (no dancing) was a great place for an iPod wedding rental. With others, there was a professionally trained and experienced person DJing – they were just using our gear.
Renting an iPod wedding rental system is not for everyone, but if your vision of your wedding includes that awesome mix of tunes on your iPod or laptop iTunes playlist, then maybe you should give us a call and we can see if renting DJ equipment or our iPod Wedding rentals is right for you.

New Logo – New Name
We have had increasing problems with a similarly named DJ company out of Enfield. The confusion is getting worse - people calling them thinking they are reaching us. Reviews posted on the internet for us but end up linked to the other company. The time has finally come to end the confusion.
Our new logo and name will better reflect the growth of our company over the past 25 years into a more all encompassing EVENT SERVICES title v. DJ. Our new name "Rob Alberti's Event Services" will allow our continued growth in such services as Photography, Photobooth Rental, Event Lighting, A/V Rental - which have become a bigger and bigger part of what we do each year.

Video Dance Party – South Shore Boston
We had another successful video dance party with over 300 students at Curry College this past weekend. Our 14' video screen was flanked by our 4,000 watt concert level sound system & subs. With over 10 high tech lighting effects, we filled the room with light to give it that club atmosphere. You've got to experience one of our video dance parties with music videos playing on our large projection screen all night long.

Speaker Issues
Yes, I have a problem. I'm addicted to speakers. One or two pairs just are not enough. I am comfortable when I have 8 or more pairs. No, I do not use them all at once. I like to bring in just the right sized system for the event that I am doing.
Maybe it's a small 50 person anniversary party and my 12" powered speakers will be enough. A normal sized wedding might require 2 pairs of speakers (8" and 15"). If it's a bigger venue, I might opt to bring in my 18" subs and put my 15" speakers on top. I might need 1 or 2 remote 12" speakers for an outdoor social hour or ceremony. What about our prom business? I might have to bring in 2 pairs of subs and 4 of my 15" tops. What about when I cannot bring my trailer filled with gear (downtown Boston or Hartford)? I might bring in my 15" powered speakers to save some room in my truck.
Yes, I am a speaker whore. I just can't get enough. Right now, I have 6- 12" powered speakers, 3-15" powered speakers, 4- 18" subs, 2 - 12" horn loaded subs, 4 -15" speakers, 2- dual 15" speakers, 2 - 8" near field speakers and a 8" powered speaker that I use as my monitor. Enough? I do have my eyes on a couple other pairs of speakers that I'm sure I could find a use for.
