Wedding DJ Tips

I turned 64 this year, in the month of May. I remember hearing the song "When I'm 64" on a tv show recently and it got me thinking about my attained age. I still feel the same, I don't feel old at all. I still love music, being a wedding DJ, sunny mornings, holding hands with my wife!! Will you still love me when I'm 64, YES!!!

One of the greatest wedding venues in Maine was Point Lookout! The beautiful buildings, the tremendous view of the ocean and the employees who made it all click!! This venue had it all, cabins on-sight to stay overnight, a bowling alley and more!! But, it's history now.

It's worth mentioning the importance of your wedding DJ being aware of the weather. It can affect the ceremony and cocktail hour set-up locations and perhaps the equipment your DJ arrives with. Wind, rain, humidity, cold, heat all can make a big difference on where and how your DJ sets-up!!

The last couple of years has seen a reduction in the number of couples who opt for the traditional Grand Entrance Intro! I always recommend that couples who do have intros choose 3 songs or less. Choosing 7, 8, 9 or more different songs means each song will play for 10 seconds or less!! It's hectic for the DJ.

If all you car about is the price, that's all you'll end up with. Remember, you get what you pay for, especially as it pertains to your wedding DJ, a key component to you day's success (or failure). Ask about experience, personality, music knowledge, etc..... Ask about price too but don't make it a determining issue.

Be sure that your Wedding DJ and Wedding Videographer touch base in advance of your wedding. Your DJ should be able to supply the videographer with a nice, clean audio signal of both the ceremony and reception. They'll also want to make sure they're using separate frequencies if they're both using wireless microphones!!!

It's a great feeling as the DJ/MC of a wedding when everything goes smoothly! Getting a 5 star review or testimonial is priceless. When the bride comes up to you at the end of the reception to thank you and give you a hug, that translates into a very good feeling.

This is a "comfort" call, intended to reassure the bride and groom that we're on the same page. Timeline, music, names, etc.... It's a great opportunity to make sure nothing has changed and if it has, I know about and make whatever adjustments are needed.

New CDC guidelines are helping the wedding industry here in Maine come back to life! I wish the guidelines were more clear and concise but at least things are improving, vaccinations are adding up, capacity indoors and outdoors are increasing and there finally is light at the end of the tunnel

Compared to a few decades ago, today's wedding DJ needs to arrive at a typical wedding ready to set-up multiple systems. Ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dancing speaker set-ups. It's worth it, it allows for a nice, seamless transition from one part of the wedding to the next. No dead air.
