The Wedding DJ’s Santa Barbara Hires have to be the Best

It’s not that we feel Santa Barbara is more important than any other community but let’s face it, if you’re going to do a wedding here you better make sure you do it right. The wedding DJ’s Santa Barbara hires have to be the best because the weddings that happen here tend to draw some of the most affluent people in the state of California. This is where it all happens. At least that’s what we like to tell ourselves.

Every father of the bride feels that his daughter’s wedding is the most important event in history and every mother wants her son to have a perfect day when he says “I do” to the woman he loves. Those are timeless feelings that will never change. At Scott Topper Productions we understand the need for everything to be perfect and our Santa Barbara wedding DJ’s do all of the little things to make sure that the day goes smoothly.

The music will be right, the show will be entertaining, and the DJ will be likeable and cooperative. You would think that those things would be a matter of routine for every DJ service but few have the experience that we do. Scott Topper has been entertaining at weddings since 1982 and when we do an event you can be certain that nothing will go wrong on our part. Our reputation is built on years of doing it right.

The wedding of your son or daughter, the most important day in their life and yours, is not something you want to see go awry over some small detail not attended to. When you plan the reception with one of our Santa Barbara wedding DJ’s every detail about the timing and music for each individual situation will be reviewed. You’ll know everything that will happen from entrance to exit and you’ll watch it unfold the way you want it to. There will be no unpleasant surprises.

Was your wedding day perfect? Did you have that blissful feeling at the end of it all that every man and woman should have when they get married? Those who you are planning a wedding for have a chance at that. The professional wedding DJ’s at Scott Topper Productions can help you to help them get it.

Arinn's Bat-Mitzvah at Congregation B'nei B'rith January 23, 2010

Mazel Tov! Your son or daughter is about to have their Mitzvah. A ceremony, in the Jewish faith, that celebrates a thirteen-year-old boy or girl becoming a man or woman. It also means that your child has become a full-fledged member of the Jewish community. Because of the significance of this event, you don’t want to place your trust in just any Disc Jockey entertainment company.

Scott Topper Productions knows the importance of planning and coordinating your teenager’s Mitzvah! We’ve entertained at hundreds of Mitzvahs over the years. We have the knowledge and experience that will make your Mitzvah a day you will never forget!

We provide an unlimited music library and create inter-active kid games that are fun and guaranteed to get everyone involved in the excitement of the party.

In addition, we can also offer an amazing dance team that motivates your guests and entertains the children. Our MC/DJ will coordinate everything from the grand entrance to the candle lighting to the Hora and Chair-raise! We play appropriate music and monitor our sound level so that everyone is happy. You will enjoy a great dance sets from Motown to 70’s Disco to today’s Top-40. Some dance floor activities include: the electric slide, cha-cha slide, the twist, hula-hoop contests, line dances, and more.
Here are some fun Photos from Arinn's Bat-Mitzvah at Congregation B'nei B'rith

Scott Topper Productions

I’ve been around the special event industry since I was a little kid. My father, Steve, is a Professional photographer and has been for more than 40 years. We were always traveling, meeting new people, and checking out cool locations. We were the first people to arrive at the party and the last ones out the door! Some things never change…
My Dad wanted me to become a photographer but my passion was always music and television. I was fortunate enough to receive three Emmy nominations as a TV show host and I have been in the event entertainment business for over a decade.

Come experience our DJ Entertainment!

The Mitzvah DJ Southern California Has Been Waiting For

Mixing timeless traditions with modern culture and music can be difficult to say the least. When it comes to finding the right mitzvah DJ Southern California has been searching for a very long time. Finally, Scott Topper Productions, a real live mitzvah DJ in the traditional sense of the word, is available to residents in Santa Barbara and surrounding communities. Parents no longer have to spend hours explaining to the entertainment exactly what they expect at their son’s or daughter’s rite of passage.

Mitzvah is a time when boys and girls become men and women responsible for their own actions. It is a special time in Jewish culture and all that are affiliated with it should have an intimate familiarity with what is involved. That is where Scott Topper gives you more than any general disc jockey service can offer you. Many of the men and women who work for our agency have been through bar mitzvah or bat mitzvah in their own life and know what it means.

Bar Mitzvah DJ’s need to know how to entertain a crowd that is made up of thirteen year old boys and girls. This is a challenge. The attention span tends to be short and the musical tastes may not be clearly defined yet. There are however certain things that a DJ can do to make sure the event goes smoothly. Much of that is determined ahead of time. Our mitzvah DJ’s try to sit down with both the parents and the teens beforehand to do a question and answer session about likes, dislikes, and expectations on both sides.

Of course, boys aren’t the only ones who celebrate a coming of age in Jewish culture. Girls are also considered responsible for their actions when they reach the age of thirteen. Scott Topper Productions employs Bat Mitzvah DJ’s who are familiar with the customs and traditions surrounding a girl’s rite of passage. You as a parent can fulfill all of your musical needs in one place with Scott Topper. Once all the children become adults we can be the entertainment at the wedding too.

What Your Son Wants from a Westlake Village Bar Mitzvah DJ

It is important to us as a professional entertainer to keep our clients happy at all times. The disc jockeys who work for Scott Topper Productions are some of the finest in our industry, polished, professional, and up to date on all of the latest music and dances that are topping the charts today. They are also well-versed in traditional music. Our Westlake Village Bar Mitzvah DJ’s are in high demand because of that knowledge. It is what all of the parents want on the day of their son’s Bar Mitzvah.

So what does your son want from us? When we sit down with the parents to plan a Bar Mitzvah we also like to sit with the young man who will be celebrating his entrance into adulthood. He knows what he likes and this is a time in his life where his input begins to be valuable. Experience as Bar Mitzvah DJ’s has made us aware that, without this valuable input, the event may not be the success the parents want it to be.

Can you name your son’s five favorite musical groups? If you can you are more knowledgeable on the subject than ninety-nine percent of all other parents. The musical tastes of the younger generation are changing constantly and there are choices for them that allow for different preferences within the same social group at times. If you have two sons who are a year apart in age there’s a good chance that they don’t listen to the same music. It’s our job as Bar Mitzvah DJ’s to know that.

Another good reason for us to speak with the young man celebrating is to make sure he is familiar with the DJ and can converse easily with him during the event. Your son needs to be the center of attention at his own Bar Mitzvah and the man in charge of the event. If the DJ is a stranger to him he will have a hard time convincing his friends that he has everything under control. Uncertainty and being uncomfortable are not two feelings he wants to have on the night he becomes a responsible adult.

What to Expect from an Encino Mitzvah DJ

Alright, so you’ve hired an Encino Mitzvah DJ and there are some concerns about what he will or will not do. What should you realistically expect from him? You want your son and his friends to be happy with the entertainment so there are a few questions you should ask ahead of time. You’ll also want to make sure he’s someone who is going to be somewhat traditional. Bar Mitzvah is after all an ancient and sacred custom, not just another chance to get all the relatives together and kibitz about the economy and the real estate market.

Does your DJ come advertised as a mitzvah DJ or is he just an entertainer who happens to be available on that particular date? This is an important distinction. Scott Topper Productions employs real bar mitzvah and bat mitzvah DJ’s that are familiar through experience with the culture and traditions associated with being Jewish. Those who haven’t been through it themselves have difficulty understanding the magnitude of this particular event in a young person’s life.

Another good question to ask is about familiarity with traditional music. The kids will want you to play Hip Hop or Rock all night long but you as a parent will want to make sure they’re exposed to at least a little of the music of their ancestors. Once again, the mitzvah DJ Southern California looks to most often for this is Scott Topper Productions. With over twenty years of experience and hundreds of mitzvahs under our belt we know just the right mix to play and how to do it so everyone is happy.

What kind of music do your kids like? This is an important question to ask them and an issue that your mitzvah DJ needs to have a good handle on. Entertaining thirteen year olds is not the same as playing music for adults. Grown ups will walk up to the DJ and request a music change if they aren’t happy, kids will just stop paying attention and wander off somewhere, saving the complaints for later. STP DJ’s know how to keep teenagers involved, eliminating the need for you to worry about where they are or what they are doing.

Throw the Party of the Decade with a Santa Barbara Disc Jockey

Do you want to be known as the one who threw “The Party” of 2010? The year is just beginning so you can start planning now for the event that your friends and neighbors will be talking about when the turn of the next decade happens. It’s officially the end of the first ten years of the new millennium and you won’t be the only one thinking about a summer or holiday bash to commemorate that. Let’s call this one the “End of the Oughts” for lack of a better term and let’s start with a Santa Barbara Disc Jockey.

The DJ can make or break a party. If you have any experience at all going to events that feature music you know that a poor Santa Barbara DJ can absolutely ruin a party. If the music is off or the guy spinning it has no personality your guests will not have a good time. Scott Topper has been entertaining Southern California crowds since 1982 so you can be certain if you hire STP your party will be a smashing success.

Are you going to rent a hall or perhaps have a small bash by the pool? With a hall you don’t have to worry about cleaning up afterwards but with a pool party you can have some real outdoor fun in the sun or under the stars. This is Southern California after all so a party of the decade here should be an outdoor show. Our Santa Barbara DJ’s are up for it. We like a good outdoor dance party just as much as the next person.

If not a pool party, there are other types of parties we would be happy to entertain at for you. Beach parties are a lot of fun as are tent parties and lawn parties. We have some fabulous dancers working for us that can put on a show and teach your guests a few new steps. These flexible and entertaining young men and women do everything from Waltzes and Fox Trots to Hip Hop so you’ll be smiling for sure at one of our shows. There are only a few months left in the decade so don’t wait too long to set it up. We’re ready now if you need us to do the music and dancing for you.

Make Your Daughter Feel Special with a Bat Mitzvah DJ

Sometimes the boys get all the attention, but the night your daughter celebrates her Bat Mitzvah will be all hers, no matter how many brothers she has. It’s the night she takes her place as a member of the adult community, no longer a little girl but a young woman according to the most ancient and revered traditions of Judaism. When that night comes you will need to make sure everything is just right. This only happens once in a girl’s life.

What kind of music does your daughter and her friends listen to? Do you know or have you just shut it out as so much “noise” like our parents did when we started playing our songs at that age. There’s no need to worry if you have. A Bat Mitzvah DJ from Scott Topper Productions knows what your kids are listening to and we not only have it, but our DJ’s know how to mix it just the way teenagers like it.

Think about that special day for a moment. The ceremony will be over and the girls will all gather together in a group, giggling like teens despite their new found status in the adult community. They will want to eat, get all of that family stuff out of the way, and then dance to music they love for hours on end. That’s what teenage girls do and you are responsible for making sure it happens. No pressure.

Before you call anyone else, call us at here at STP. We’re Bat Mitzvah experts who know how to entertain the young crowd many adults just don’t understand. We’ve been doing it since 1982 and we have experience with hundreds of these events, all a smashing success. We have the references to prove it if you like. It’s almost a guarantee that you’ll know at least one family we have provided a Santa Barbara Mitzvah DJ for in the past.

There are a lot of different types of entertainment professionals in Southern California and many of them are very good, but there are only a few that classify as qualified and experienced Bat Mitzvah DJ’s. Scott Topper Productions is one of them and we would be honored to be the entertainment at your daughter’s Bat Mitzvah.

Why You Should Hire Us as Your Bar Mitzvah DJ

According to tradition, your son will become a man on the day he celebrates his Bar Mitzvah. Does the DJ who will handle the entertainment at his celebration understand that? The customs involved go back thousands of years to the days of Abraham, Isaac, and Joseph. Everyone who takes part in the planning of this special day needs to understand that and everyone who participates must know the significance of it.

Scott Topper Productions employs Bar Mitzvah DJ’s who understand the significance of the mitzvah. Not only do we entertain at Bar Mitzvahs, but we also entertain at Bat Mitzvahs for those special girls who are evolving into womanhood on their thirteenth birthdays. As a company that has been in business since 1982 we have done hundreds of mitzvahs and we know what the expectations and significance of this day are.

Hiring a Santa Barbara DJ under any circumstances is an involved process that requires a lot of research and the asking of some very pointed questions. Whether you’re planning a small get-together for friends or a wedding reception with family members and new in-laws, you will need to have the very best entertainment you can find. Perhaps we’re a little biased, but we feel that the right choice for you is Scott Topper Productions. We have the experience and the skill to make it the event you want it to be.

Hiring Santa Barbara mitzvah DJ’s is more difficult than simply finding someone to play music at a party or dance. You have to be selective. At thirteen years old, every minute of the evening will become a permanent memory etched in the brain of your developing teenager. He or she may be becoming an adult by traditional standards, but their feelings and emotions are in many ways still those of a child. Caution must be used when selecting the music and venue for the mitzvah.

Scott Topper Productions understands the significance of the bar mitzvah and we know how to make it the special occasion that a teenager will remember fondly his entire life. We have done hundreds of them and we can provide you references from satisfied parents and young adults who’ve been the recipients of our expertise.

Think About a DJ for your Santa Barbara Wedding Entertainment

When you begin the planning for your wedding day you set out to make sure that everything about it is perfect, not just exceptional but flawless. The flowers, the food, the venue, all need to be carefully selected if you want to achieve that ambiance which will cement this day in your memory as one of the very best you’ve ever had. The ceremony will commence, you’ll say “I do” or “Mazel Tov”, and then your guests will file off to the reception and the show that you have prepared for them. What do you have planned?

The two most common choices that couples have for Santa Barbara wedding entertainment are a band or a DJ. The former is pretty limited. A live band only knows a specific set of songs and if your guests don’t like them you can’t do anything about it mid-event. With a DJ you have more variety available to you. A good one will bring additional music with him, an easy task today with the portability of digital recordings.

Another benefit to hiring a Santa Barbara wedding DJ instead of a band is the handling of the ceremonial portions of your reception. Any toast or announcements can be made with the microphone and the DJ can be instructed as to any specific customs or ceremonies that you wish to have included in the evening’s entertainment. Our DJ’s at STP have over twenty years experience so we can help you make those choices.

Everyone hopes that the day they get married will be a special occasion that they can savor for the rest of their lives. There’s a lot that goes into making that happen. Each element of the day needs to be carefully planned. You’ll leave the food arrangements to a caterer, the dress fitting to a seamstress, and the set-up of the hall to an event planner. You’ll also want to leave the entertainment to experts. Santa Barbara wedding DJ’s from Scott Topper Productions are those experts. Hire us and let us put on the show that you need to cap off that perfect day. You’ll be able to relax and your guests will really enjoy themselves.
