Wedding Music DJ
A professional Wedding DJ will use quality mobile disco equipment
that costs a fortune and will sound and look fantastic. However
the main tool of a DJs trade is the music, and selecting the
right music mix for the occasion takes a considerable level
of experience. It is far more difficult to get the music balance
right at a family party with a wide range of ages than it
is at an 18th birthday party with an audience of mostly young
adults and teenagers. At wedding celebration's not only will
there be all ages from 1 to 101 but also two separate families
and groups of friends will be coming together often for the
first time.
Many inexperienced DJ's are pleased to accept very long play
lists and announce the music at your wedding will be brilliant
because they will be playing only what you have selected.
In reality weddings are difficult for a DJ to get right and
long play lists are the easy way to shift responsibility to
you. The fact is a party is not made perfect by playing one,
or in the case of a wedding two peoples all time top 100 tunes.
The best parties are when the DJ can read the crowed and works
in tracks that get a positive reaction, vary's the music when
the audience want a change of pace and includes party tunes,
favourite oldies and the latest club and chart sounds as appropriate.
A great party atmosphere is developed when music track played
by the DJ is in reaction to how well the one before was received.
This is reading the audience and is something that can only
ever be judge correctly on the night. So although we love
playing loads of requested tunes from your guests we suggest
a pre planned record list of between 10 -20 is about right.
A wonderful wedding celebration is often judge to be a huge
success if the dance floor has been very busy all night. However
no two parties are ever the same and the music played will
always be different. To ensure young and old enjoy themselves
its essential the wedding DJ finds a music selection that
is not too heavy, cheesy or boring and that the DJ maintains
a upbeat continuity throughout the music mix.
