Before a great Wedding DJ plays the first song, they ask questions, and do lots of listening.
When a great Wedding DJ meets with a future bride and groom,
they like to get an idea of what they are all about. Get to know their
likes, and more importantly their dislikes. The great Wedding DJ
has them paint a mental picture of what they imagine their wedding day
to be like, so that the DJ can do their part in making that vision come
true. Naturally, the DJ coordinates all of the formalities, develops a
time line (agenda) with the couple and around their courses at their
reception and is as much of a resource to them as possible.
The great Wedding DJ talks to the wedding client about music. Ninety
five percent of the time the bride and groom give the DJ a virtual green
light simply because they have a music conversation, and they know the
DJ understands what they want. A great Wedding DJ has a broad enough
knowledge of music that the client feels comfortable in knowing that the
DJ "gets it." Today, with music so readily available there is very
little chance of not being able to find that special request. The
wedding couple get to have whatever they want.
And the DJ still hasn’t played that first song yet…
When a great Wedding DJ arrives at the event they have their t’s
crossed and their i’s dotted. They know all of the elements and details
that are important to the bride and groom and what is expected to
happen and when. The DJ then begins to coordinate with the caterer making sure to review the time line, with the
photographer and videographer to make sure they are included in the
communication loop.
And then, as the guests begin to arrive, the great DJ plays the first song… and then the next, and then the next after that.
For the great DJ, the ‘DJing’ is the easy part.
The success of an event is all in the pre-planning.
It’s your day.
