About A Ran Music Service

A Ran Music Service

Event Coordinator

At A Ran Music Service, we solve our clients’ biggest worry: “But, will my guests dance?” We dance guests out! Even those reluctant “non-dancers” will be compelled to join the dance floor for the entire evening, never looking for their seat again, and “living it up” on that dance floor the entire night. We’re music lovers and musicians- we know a thing or two about composing a captivating and irresistible playlist that incorporates personal song selections into your unique event.

    Great Day Of Music experience

    A Ran Music Service was a solid choice for our wedding entertainment. Their communication style was prompt, warm and friendly, though we did have some issues with emails not coming through consistently from their Honeybook account, so we had to regularly check their online client portal to stay updated. The quality of their work and value was good overall - they had a huge library of songs to choose from and the song edits they provided were great. However, the music they played was largely at one tempo, which caused some of our guests to get a bit tired on the dance floor after a while. On the plus side, their great sound setup made for easy transitions from our outdoor ceremony to the indoor reception. Overall, A Ran Music Service helped make our special day a success and we’d book them again!

    Hello, Annelise! Thank you for the taking the time to write a review. It was an honor and pleasure to service your special day. We believe that communication is key as we work with our clients to plan and prepare for their special day. I wasn't previously aware of any issues with Honeybook as this information hasn't come to my attention or caused glitches in the successful delivery of messages. From energetic dance beats that matched your guests' vibes to our top-notch set-ups, we are thrilled to have hit the mark. Cheers to love, laughter, and happily ever after!

YES! The contract will outline time frames, pricing, services, and note any stipulations.

At A Ran, if the venue is new to us, we arrange to meet with the Event Coordinator at the venue prior to your event and do a walk through to ensure a 100% smooth and successful event.
At A Ran, these services are included with your package. Our MCs are very well organized, have proper microphone technique, and are comfortable with public speaking.
For us, we get to know the couple and their guests’ musical preferences and will play songs throughout the evening based upon that insight. You will never hear us play the exact same list at every wedding. We specialize in “trending”. This is when we observe you and your guests to see what songs and genres of music they are most liking.
We travel as a team of 2-3 people so that someone is always manning the equipment. We ALWAYS arrive early to conduct a thorough sound check well before your guests arrive. This is at no extra cost. We always have back- ups. In addition, we make sure that we have multiple copies of your specialty songs on hand during your event so it’s guaranteed that your request will be played.

Even if your style is more “old school”, a company that continues to update and/or expand their library proves that they actively invest in their company and work to understand their clients and accommodate them. A Ran downloads new material and adds to the library at the end of each month.
It’s your event- incorporate your style! Our motto is “A Personalized Approach to Your Unique Event”.
YES! Any company that is respectful of your requests should be open to a “Do Not Play” List. Let’s be honest, we all have at least one song that we really don’t care to listen to. :)
At A Ran, we arrive early- prior to guest arrival. We set-up and sound check our system(s) and all cords and equipment cases are tucked away for the safety of your guest and a clean, polished appearance of our station.
Image DOES matter! It makes a statement of respect for the client. We do not dress in suits or tuxedos. We will be dressed in proper business attire as to demonstrate professionalism.
We charge the ceremony fee (if applicable), package fee, and that’s it! Travel is only charged for venues that are an hour or more away from our equipment garage. There are no hidden taxes, and gratuity is appreciated NOT demanded!
Yes! We are insured as well as registered with the Secretary of State and hold an A+ rating with the BBB. All of our music is purchased- obtained legally.
The client should rest assured that he or she will always receive the full attention and focus of the DJ without any hinderances. In our code of ethics, we state that “We will never smoke, drink, or fraternize on the job.”
Here at A Ran Music Service, we are sound technicians as well as DJs, so sound quality is of the utmost importance to us. Sound quality can make or break an event because, quite frankly, bad sound quality is very disruptive. We recognize that socializing is also important during your event. We don’t mistake volume for quality.
Primarily weddings and conventions.
Your event is important, and your DJ should believe that, too. It’s an honor to service a client. When a client chooses us, they are inviting us to be a part of an important moment. We realize what an amazing opportunity it is to assist someone with their celebration.
Absolutely! When interviewing a DJ, he or she should never make you feel like you are asking too many questions or rush your decision. If the DJ is passionate about what they do and serious about the business, they will make the time to answer any and all questions that you have with clarity and honesty. It’s important to feel confident in your selected vendor. Email: niki@aranmusicservice.com
