Here are some tips on how to DJ your first wedding:

  1. Meet with the couple: Before the wedding, schedule a meeting with the couple to discuss their music preferences, the order of events, and any special requests they may have. This will help you create a playlist that reflects their tastes and ensures that the event runs smoothly.
  2. Prepare your equipment: Make sure that you have all the necessary equipment, including a sound system, mixer, and headphones. Test your equipment beforehand to ensure that everything is working properly.
  3. Create a playlist: Using the information you gathered from the couple, create a playlist that includes songs for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception. Be sure to include a mix of genres and eras to appeal to all guests.
  4. Time your songs: Make sure to time your songs so that they fit with the order of events, such as the bride and groom's entrance, the first dance, and the cake cutting. Use cue points to easily jump to different parts of the song.
  5. Be prepared for requests: Guests may request songs throughout the night, so be prepared to accommodate their requests if they fit with the overall theme and atmosphere of the event.
  6. Practice your transitions: Make sure that your transitions between songs are smooth and seamless. Practice your mixing techniques beforehand to ensure that there are no awkward pauses or sudden changes in tempo.
  7. Dress appropriately: Make sure to dress appropriately for the occasion. A suit or dress shirt and pants are usually appropriate for a wedding.
  8. Be professional: Remember that you are being hired to provide a service, so be professional at all times. Be courteous to guests and the wedding party, and be sure to arrive early to set up your equipment.

With these tips in mind, you should be well-prepared to DJ your first wedding. Good luck and have fun!
