Mobile Dj Tips - How To Dj A Wedding

<p>When Djing on a Wedding, your responsibilites will be greater than if simply DJing a birthday party or backyard bash. You will most-likely be playing the emcee for the evening, so you will need to have an outline of how the evening will run before you arrive at the event. This is a very special night for the bride and her family, because so much lies on your ability, you get the opportunity to charge considerably more for your services.</p>


<p><strong><br /></strong></p>
<p><strong>The Basic Wedding Outline: </strong></p>
<p>Your agenda for the evening will be customized based on your client's needs and the suggestions of the wedding planner. But for now, I'd like to give you a basic outline. First, start by introducing bride and groom and the wedding party. This will happen at the start of the reception, after the wedding party has finished with their photos. The most common announcement or event that precedes this is the couple's first dance to a song. Make sure you know what song you will be playing BEFORE the wedding. Afterward, there is usually a toast to the bride and groom. You will need to introduce everyone who is speaking and make sure to have a wireless mic ready for them. After that you may signal people to start eating dinner. Depending on how dinner is being served (buffet line, etc) you may need to have special instruction for the guests. <br /><br />After dinner, the most common announcement is for the father-daughter dance and the mother-son dance. Make sure you also have
these songs ready.</p>
<p><strong>What is the Best Music to Play at a Wedding?<br /></strong> Weddings can be difficult because there is such a wide range of individuals at the event. You have to do your best to keep everyone happy with your music selection, but know that it is almost impossible. The first thing is to realize that the CLIENT is in charge, so ask them first. Are there certain songs the MUST play, and others they must NOT play? Follow their rules, because they are paying the bill! <br /><br />Always also the bride and groom what type of music you should be playing at their wedding. Give suggestions and create a list. You should ideally have a form for the couple to fill out to better help them. One of the simpliest ways is to just ask them for what music they love to hear. <br /><br />You should also have in your arsenal a list of must-play songs for all high-energy events. These are the songs that get people on their feet and dancing like crazy! <br /><br /> <strong>How to End the W
edding:</strong></p>

<p>The entire night, everyone will love you simply because you are the source of the music. But when it comes to the end and you have to shut off, if you do it wrong, you may have some unhappy campers. There is a right way and a wrong way to say goodbye at the end of a perfect evening. Here are some tips:</p>

Always let the bride and groom and the wedding planner how long you service lasts for. They should know exactly when you stop playing (and then play 15 min. longer)


You need to announce that you are starting to wrap things up during the last 30 minutes of the event. Let people know as soon as possible.
Don't try to announce over and over again, just to remind people about that's it about time to end of your service. But you should start to play some songs that convey the evening is coming to an end. And ALWAYS let everyone know which song is the very LAST one.
Put some business cards at your dj stand where people can see it and can contact you in the future for their events.<br><br><br><br><a href="http://iautoblog.com">iAutoblog</a> the premier <a href="http://iautoblog.com">autoblogger</a> software
