Wedding DJ Tips

For those couples who want to incorporate their dog (also often times known as their "child"), it's easy to do and is done quite often. Having the photographer take pictures of the newly married couple with their dog is priceless.

I know, the DJ is recommending honeymoon ideas? Yup. Here are three, Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. Great weather, beautiful beaches, all-inclusive. Next, Paris! Talk about a romantic wedding honeymoon location. Finally, where my wife and I got married and spent our honeymoon, Maui, in Hawaii.

The debate between having a Wedding DJ or a Band!! The band produces great energy but they also take breaks, have a limited number of songs they can play (or know) and cost substantially more!! Wedding DJs are experienced MCs and have an unlimited music library.

As the DJ watching over the dance floor, I've got the responsibility to keep the dance floor packed. I also need to keep my equipment safe from guests who may be pretty buzzed!!

The hardest working wedding vendor is typically the caterer! The amount of equipment they bring and set-up is unreal. Everything they do has to be timed perfectly. Experienced chefs and servers make all the difference!

Be sure your Wedding DJ and your Wedding Photographer are on the same page. Especially for the timing of the ceremony and the formal introductions, first dance, parent dances speeches, cake cutting & bouquet & garter. Being in synch is important.

The Covid-19 issue has been a nightmare for wedding vendors and couples. Rolling over retainers from 2020 to 2021 was the norm. But, continuing postponements from 2021 to 2022 represent a bit of a business challenge.

If you need to commit to using a generator at your wedding, either for the ceremony or tented reception, be sure to provide enough power to satisfy all vendors. I bring my own generator, a Honda 2000.

This question comes up often and I have a very quick answer, NO! I personally don't think the wedding DJ needs any breaks. Our primary focus is paying attention to every minute from the pre-ceremony to the last song!

The officiant plays a very important role in your wedding ceremony. There are plenty of very talented officiants available in Maine, both male and female. The DJ needs to coordinate carefully with the officiant to create a seamless ceremony.
