Because a good party is cool... but a customized experience? That’s legendary.

When you're planning a major event — whether it's a wedding, corporate celebration, milestone birthday, or cultural gathering — the entertainment sets the tone. At BLK Soldier DJ Services, we don’t just show up and spin a few tracks. We deliver experiences. And when you're ready to take that experience to the next level, our add-on services are the secret sauce.

From immersive lighting setups to interactive photo booths and high-energy MCs, our premium add-ons are designed to elevate your event from memorable to absolutely unforgettable. In this blog, we’ll break down the most popular upgrades, explain how they transform your event, and show you why now’s the time to lock them in before it’s too late.

Let’s get into it.

Event Lighting – Set the Mood, Own the Moment

Lighting is everything. It doesn’t just make the space look good — it creates emotion. Our lighting packages turn any venue into a visual experience that pulses with the music and reflects your event’s energy.

  • Uplighting: Add colour, drama, and dimension to walls, pillars, and backdrops. Choose colours that match your theme or shift them throughout the night.

  • Dance Floor Washes & Motion Lights: Turn your dance floor into a mini concert venue. Lights sync with the music for a dynamic, interactive feel.

  • Custom Monograms: Your name, initials, or logo projected in lights — it’s elegant, personal, and makes every photo pop.

  • "Dancing on the Cloud" Experience: Yes, we make it happen. A low-lying fog hugs the floor while you dance your first dance, creating a magical moment straight out of a movie.

Lighting is one of the easiest ways to elevate the vibe without adding complexity to your planning. We handle setup, cues, syncing, and takedown — you just enjoy the spotlight.

360 Photo Booth – Capture the Hype from Every Angle

Gone are the days of basic photo booths with props and curtains. If you're looking for something truly interactive and social-media ready, our 360 Photo Booth is it.

This isn’t just a camera in a corner. It’s a platform where guests stand while a camera orbits around them in slow motion — capturing high-quality, cinematic videos with music, overlays, and effects. It’s fun, stylish, and creates instant memories that your guests can share to Instagram, TikTok, or save forever.

Why it’s a game-changer:

  • Perfect for weddings, galas, school dances, and brand activations

  • Custom branding or overlays available for corporate events

  • It gets people moving, laughing, and engaging throughout the night

  • Adds a luxe, high-tech touch to your entertainment setup

Our team handles the full setup and digital delivery. All you have to do is strike a pose.

MC Services – The Voice that Drives the Vibe

A great DJ keeps the music flowing. But a great MC? They move the crowd.

When you add MC services to your entertainment package, you're adding a professional host who knows how to hype a room without stealing the spotlight. From grand entrances to announcements, to call-and-response party moments — our MCs are seasoned pros who work in perfect sync with our DJs to make sure your event has zero dead air and maximum energy.

What our MCs bring to the table:

  • Engaging, professional hosting tailored to your crowd

  • Timeline control (ensuring everything stays on schedule)

  • Seamless coordination with vendors, wedding parties, and planners

  • Experience across weddings, mitzvahs, step-and-repeats, and more

Think of your MC as the glue between the music and the people. They read the room, make moments feel big, and ensure every guest knows when to turn up.

Why Book Add-Ons Early?

Here’s the truth: our premium services book up fast — especially during peak wedding and event season in the Midwest. Booking your entertainment is step one, but securing your add-ons early guarantees availability, better pricing, and a smoother planning process.

  • Many of our lighting setups are custom to each event, and we only take a limited number per weekend to ensure perfection.

  • The 360 booth is in high demand for proms, corporate events, and summer weddings — first come, first served.

  • Our MCs are not just “anybody with a mic.” These are trained professionals with charisma and experience, and they book months in advance.

By locking in your add-ons when you book your DJ service, we can bundle everything into one custom quote and ensure every piece works together flawlessly. You’ll also get access to more detailed pre-planning, timeline consultations, and priority customer service.

Custom Packages for Maximum Impact

We know every event is unique — so we don’t force you into cookie-cutter bundles. Whether you want a full lighting experience with MC hosting and photo booth, or just want to add a cloud dance and custom monogram to your reception, we’ll create a package tailored to your goals, budget, and vision.

You dream it — we build it.
