Weddings
Most people will only hire a DJ once in their life and most often its for Weddings. There are so many stories about how a DJ ruined a reception for various reasons.
The DJ showed up late or didn’t at all.
They didn’t play the music I asked for.
The DJ hired wasn’t the one who showed up.
The DJ was not professional in dress or manner
The equipment was no better than a home stereo system.
There is a difference between a professional DJ and the hobby DJ. Be careful!
Brides and Grooms are willing to spend thousands of pounds on food and drink but cut corners on entertainment. No one will remember the food or the nicely decorated hall but will remember the entertainment. You must keep this a very high priority.
What makes a great Wedding DJ?
Somebody who can read the crowd. This comes with experience. To get a 60 year old aunt and a 22 year old cousin enjoying themselves on the dancefloor at the same time is part of it. It is important to spend time with the client to get the music right and liase with the hotel and other acts to ensure the evening is a massive success. The DJ’s enjoyment comes from making dreams come true. Watching the bride cry with joy to her favourite dance or the uncle doing a crazy dance or everybody cheering as they cheer the happy couple during the last song.That is what this job is all about.
