## Summary
DJ Wale plays birthday parties in Columbus and within about two hours of it, from first birthdays and sweet 16s to 40th, 50th and 60th milestone parties. We bring an emcee for games and toasts, lighting, and a mix of Bollywood, Punjabi, Top 40 and classics suited to the guest of honor.

## Overview
Birthday parties range from a first birthday with lots of kids and family to a 50th that turns into a full dance party. We tailor the music, the program and the setup to the age and the crowd.

For first birthdays, we keep it family friendly with kids' games and a cake moment. For sweet 16s, we bring current hits, lighting and effects. For milestone birthdays, we play the songs from the guest of honor's era alongside today's hits.

## What's included
- **Tailored sets:** Music chosen for the guest of honor and the crowd.
- **Emcee:** Games, cake cutting and toasts.
- **Lighting:** Dance floor lighting and uplighting.
- **Effects:** Cold sparks for the cake or entrance, CO2 for the peak.
- **LED wall or projector:** Photo slideshows from over the years.

## How a birthday party runs
1. **Background** (Arrival): Easy music as guests arrive.
2. **Moments** (Program): Entrance, games, slideshow and toasts.
3. **Celebration** (Cake): Cake cutting with an optional cold spark moment.
4. **Dance** (Party): Open floor until the end.

## First birthdays
A first birthday is mostly for the family, with lots of kids in the room. We keep the volume comfortable, play kids' favorites and Bollywood family songs, run a few games, and make the cake cutting a moment with the right song and, where the venue allows, a cold spark fountain.

## Sweet 16s and milestone birthdays
Sweet 16s want a real party: current hits, moving lights, a grand entrance and a CO2 blast on the drop. Milestone birthdays like a 40th, 50th or 60th call for the songs of the guest of honor's youth alongside today's music, a photo slideshow, and speeches from family and friends.

## Music
Bollywood, Punjabi, Top 40, hip-hop and classics, plus kids' favorites for younger crowds.

## Planning tips
- Send a slideshow file a few days ahead.
- Pick a cake song and an entrance song.
