Wedding DJChoosing your wedding DJThe job of the wedding DJ is not simply about playing music. The job of the good wedding DJ is about playing music that continuously reflects and enhances the mood of the room whilst simultaneously appealing to all ages. A good DJ should be able to cater for most requests and blend them well into the overall mood of the evening. Wedding DJ MusicWedding DJ music: prepare in advance.Don’t give your wedding DJ music lists to play throughout the night! Place some trust in them. They are after all the expert and should be experienced in entertaining at all manner of functions. Yes of course it is your special day and you should get exactly what you want, but don’t forget that your taste in music might differ considerably from that of your guests. If your guests don’t hear music that they like you might find they start to make excuses to leave early! Providing all the music in advance also does not leave any room for requests. It is normally considered appropriate to give the DJ a list of 10-15 songs that you would like to hear and also any specific ‘must haves’ such as a song for the first wedding reception dance. If you are still thinking that you want more control over the music the other thing to bear in mind is that over a period of 4 hours a DJ will only play 40-50 songs and most brides and grooms are so busy talking to all the guests that they don’t end up hearing half of the music anyway! The focus should be instead on choosing a personality who you can rely on to entertain and do their job well, rather than trying to do their job for them.
