Can be very competitive, it’s the cheapsets
For a DJ, easywedings, should pay more than about $300 and $500 and been an MC.
If an MC and a DJ does a really good job, and know they have been paid on a na ecomony scale, it’s always ncie to recomened them if you can’t afford to tip them, depends comusually comes from the ftahre of the bride, tips of $20 – $100 dollars, what four new tyres! Just lovely.

No longer about mixing the music because djs are thought of people who provide music, now training them to be event managers and co-ordinators to mix the people rather than thjust the music, no longer the main tool the music, it’s about the bride, it’s about the bride, everytwedding is about the bride, if the bride is not having a good time, then the whole wedding suffers, from the point of view of the aj, need tob eatching th bride all night, to see aaht level of happiness – a good dj can change the mood of a brid,e certain thing, up to a groom and said, for one night of your whole life, do not leave your bride’s side, whenever she’s doing anyting –
Mixing the people , look for oppoturnitnes for people who are sitting alone and think how youc an involve them, or those who have lost their partner, really nice to find a song they got married to to celebrate everybody cries, brings back mmeories of marriage of course those are the thigns we are grrying to promite is how wonderful other people’s weddings are , it ehbridal waltz, try to follow it up with a fo.arther daughter dance to use the song father got married to with his bride, leads to acollction of songs, can find the bridal wales stha twere indicative to that family s othey make up the list of osngs you can play, then of cousr sey ouc an get up to modern dance after that!
Really good thing to do.

If you can’t afford a ddj, think of key songs that will make memories, of rhtat night, to play songs more than once is not a bad thing, often a bride will get upset if we play a song by accident, you have to remind the bride tha this is tone song of the night, the more people hear it, the more they’ll connect this song with yoru wedding, it’s true, if the song they enter to, also the song for the bridal waltas and also the farewell circle is also the song they remember fo the bridal
Romantig cosngs for wdddings, if you can’t afford anyting else at least have romatninc sotns in the background, people can dance to them people are dressed up for a weding, they have a vfull meal people can dance to slow rmatngic songs, thye can’t nceeeiarly dance to disco ro club music because it’s too energect, the best thing to do is play romantic songs,
Can’t gro wrotong with rod stewart, and he’s got hat gravely voice which is qutoe heartfelt, Michael buble is not a good , but he commands attenchtion so when he sings, his orchestration, draw you into listentin , don’t want to listen to muic, you want people to be chit chat, find a lwhole lot of popular song with no vocals, can play it all night long , music with no vocals is always great with no voalk, good musc that doesn’t idsoturb
If dj is too noisey, ask themn to take out the mid range (not the base, not the treble, but the mid range), if the dj has pumpe dup the volume, it doeesn’t matter how loud – and a awedding it’s vital for a dj to take the volume out, for a wedding it’s vital, at least 20 per cent o fpopel who aren’t
20 per cent want to dance and 80 per cent who want to talk.
Anothre way to do it is to at least turn the speakrs to the dance floor and away from the speakers.
I keep a very close eye on the bridal table, I want to see how much they’re drinking ‘
One of the funniest, wedding on the haroubr where naked, bride wanted a nude wedding, 25 people on a ferry, and she was very concerned that I would be offended, she had a her naked wedding, , most moby disk djs sa re there was a nother wedding which was a motor cycle Harley Davidson group, almost embarrassed, becuae they wanted abba all night,
Peole like wddings to be different, often a bride will make a weddingdifferent , one thing I wwa that was funny, rumours the groom was gay, bride had a friend of hers come down on amotorscycle hot looking fellow, took the bride, she disappeard with this guy on a bicyle, the only person who knew about it was the minister and the bride’s father, and so – she then turned up when we got to the reception, the minister was there to continue the venue, yes, everyone was looing to him, he cried, because he cried, the best thing, when they were reunited,
Deinfitely medieval, people’s hobbies, pecularli hopbibes they have themed wedding,a c uople who met doing railway they both build model ralilaas, model railaywas on eevery table, and ehe was a railway enginerer, an she was a damsel in distress…
Had a ballet wedding, Australian ballet, every one had to be a ballet character, everybody was dancing, the bridal tables, pas de deux for the bridal dance.
When my son got married, asked if I would do his reception, he said only if I can pick the music, for your music, picked the themed to starwars, which I’ve always wanted, he thought it was fantastic, his bride cried, at the en dof every star wars movie, to me it was the most approparite music and that’s what I played as twalked down the ailse.
Very different in our culture, chinese weddings and thai weddings, greek weddings, all sorts of tradiations. Si there i sthe chimney sweep, brushes out the cobwebs of the couple’s past, chimney sweep comes in as a little child, make the great icebreaker…
Getting people to sing is fraught with dififcultu often get ecomanica uncles, the females wills ing one or two and will go, males will hog the microphone, be very careful who you ask to sing at yoru wedding.
Have to keep reminding any entertainer.
Must dedicate every song to the bride and keep mentioning the couple, –
Whenever you book live entertainment, always make sure they talk abou the couple if they are going to talk! Otherwise it becomes innaproproote.
My favourite -= Anne Murray – May I have this dance for the rest of your life…
