We are experienced at smoothly directing the flow of traditional events and ramping the celebration up to the party your friends will be reminiscing about for years to come. "Everyone made sure we were both happy and had everything we wanted. Our guests loved that our dj went table to table and asked what they'd like to have played. We LOVED replaying our first dance song with our guests still the
re at 1145. Everyone loved that as well." At Music from the Heart, we take great pride in our work. That's because we know we have the opportunity to help shape your big day into one that will galvanize your relationship, not just with your new spouse, but with all those you have chosen to attend. Charged with this important task, we make sure that each part of your reception is conducted with elegance and decorum, while at the same time creating a comfortable environment for friends and family to let their hair down, get social, and make memories that change the course of their lives. Music from the Heart is a high end, boutique DJ and sound service at the same price point as the largest sound companies, who send out DJs with no experience or training. DJ Johnnyrocket (John Moore) founded Music from the Heart after coming to the realization that social sensibilities and techniques, balancing fun and class, are the key to a successful wedding reception. Seeing how rare this was among his DJ peers at a large national wedding firm, he decided he needed to create a new brand that would be distinguished by this feature. What makes Music from the Heart the best choice for an LGBT wedding? Often a wedding reception is the first time different circles in a couple’s life come together and figure out how to relate to one another. Most LGBT couples, especially in Minnesota, have a contingent of straight friends and family. Straight males, it isn’t difficult to argue, have the most difficult time figuring out the how and why of integrating themselves into the mixed social framework. Founder John Moore is experienced and skilled at leading these men towards comfort and social interaction in this environment. As a former band leader and manager of top talent at the world’s second largest record company, he knows how to lead with a steady hand, and, as a straight male himself, can do so by example in this context. As a music teacher, he knows how to disarm, demonstrate and instruct in a way that is engaging and fun. As a longtime former socialite resident of Chelsea, NY, a graduate of Wesleyan University and a member of a family with different sexual orientations, he is well seasoned in the art of gracefully breaking the ice in groups that include straight and gay men and women. What makes Music from the Heart's equipment the best in the business? With brand names like Bose and Shure, you know you are getting top quality gear that your guests will respect. Working in pro audio sales and sound engineering for many years helped John Moore to understand sound reinforcement technology better than anyone in the business. One observation he made in sales is that 90% of repairs and returns due to malfunction were wireless microphone systems. Since prices on these systems range from $100 to a couple thousand dollars, you will find that 99% of DJ and sound companies use low end wireless systems that are unreliable, limited in range and prone to malfunction. If you've ever been at a reception where a wireless system malfunctioned, you know how much of a damper this disruption can put on the course of the evening. Music from the Heart only uses the top of the line Shure true diversity UHF wireless system with high voltage power source, to maximize range and minimize any chance of malfunction in all types of environment. As a performer and sound engineer at the world's top commercial music house Crushing Music, John was given special access to emerging technologies at Bose corporation. The Bose micro-line arrays are referred to as cylindrical radiators because their sound waves propagate in an expanding cylindrical wave front, as opposed to the spherical wave front of conventional technology used by most DJ companies. This means that energy is not sent up or down in the room, causing excess reverberation (echo and boominess). More importantly, it means that the wave energy dissipates more slowly, meaning you have more similar volume at both ends of the room. This way there is no need to have guests feel less valued because they were in a part of the room where they could not hear the best man speaking while others feel insulted that they have to be where the sound is melting their faces off.
