Why Choose Ralph Walker

Fifteen years' experience

Performing at weddings, receptions, parties, showers, baby dedications, corporate functions, etc.

Superb Value: Live Guitar and DJ

The sound is classic and clear; the presentation understated; the mood romantic.

You get a nationally-recognized guitarist to play for your ceremony, wine/cheese part of the reception, and dinner.

You get a well-appointed, polite DJ who knows how to have fun.

You save time, headaches, and money by hiring one performer.

You can even get CD/tape wedding favors as part of the package.

I Will Show Up at Your Event

Unlike many DJs who work for agencies, my reputation rides on every event at which I perform. I have a sort of Samurai sense of honor when it comes to showing up. I have never missed an event. Should some emergency preclude me from making it, I have backups on my payroll available.

All your entertainment needs met

from the beginning of the ceremony to your last dance. You save time and money, while eliminating headaches. (I also have vocalists.)

High Quality Sound Systems

Talk is cheap. Many DJs claim to have "state-of-the-art" equipment. Upon closer investigation, it becomes clear that most equate this term with "we didn't buy our components at Radio Shack". The truth is only studios have true state-of-the-art equipment, and that a few DJ's have components that are industry standard.

My DJ system is comprised of 100% industry standard components.

My guitar system is a different matter. It is almost state-of-the-art - essentially the same system used by Alex de Grassi and James Taylor. My guitar actually has eight separate pick-ups. With the Bagend speakers, I would put it up against anything.

What your guests will see

You Get Old World Service

I treat you with great care. During our 2-3 hour consultation, I will listen to you, and use all my resources to create exactly the type of reception you've dreamed of.

I am committed to making your wedding as joyful and stress-free as possible. This may sound contrived, but it's true.

I believe weddings are sacred, and assume you view this as the biggest day of your life. I will treat it as such.

Every aspect - from the planning phase, to the equipment I use, to the performance - is designed to give you first class service.

I Bring Class And Elegance To Your Wedding

Everything I do is about giving you honor and respect in front of your family and friends. You will be proud to have me preside over your reception. My sound system looks great; I dress well, and will never say anything to embarrass you.

No Surprises

The entire planning process is designed to ensure that there are NO SURPRISES.

2 to 3 months before your wedding, you will receive a detailed packet addressing issues such as

  • How you want the bridal party introduced
  • All the different choices for your first dance and father-daughter dance.
  • The types of music you prefer
  • Garter Toss and Bouquet. Do you want these, or would you prefer an alternative?

After working on it and mailing it back, we will meet for a 1 ½ to 2 hour consultation. By the time you leave, every detail pertaining to your reception will be covered. You will walk away with a playlist comprisedof the songs you have chosen, sorted by category, with the times all added up.

I Really Enjoy My Work

This is more than a mere job - it's about bringing joy and romance to you on the biggest day of your life.

Extremely Creative And Innovative

I am skilled at finding ways to make your reception unique, without compromising the boundaries of good taste.

My job is to make this your special day. I will not overshadow the event. Like a good waiter, I try to be present, yet inconspicuous.

As an MC, I will direct the flow of the evening with taste and discretion.

When the dancing starts, my philosophy is to talk as little as possible. Song selection and timing - not words - will dictate the flow of the party.
