Great tips for the uninitiated, however, #11 states "they do this for a living". MOST DJs do it as a weekend side job or well paying hobby and couldn't DJ their way out of a wet paper bag! Bravo on #12 - I have stipulated in my contract for many years to be included in the guest dinner count and fed a guest entree. Difficult at many facilities that clearly treat us as 'the help'.

Your comments are noted, but you are laying down hard and fast rules and not real dj'ing advice, as a DJ cannot choose the layout of a venue, the size of the dance floor, the scenic qualities of the location, when the photographer takes his fotos, etc - an experienced DJ will overcome most probs, as he has probably come up against them b4, but a beginner dj will probably not be able to cope very well, so my advice is "use common sense, not panic, to overcome any problems"

Wow... the best tips I've ever heard. I too have been a DJ for over 10 years and I have never heard any tips that would actually help the bride and groom in their wedding reception. As you state, you can easily follow these tips and have a much better wedding reception!! If you don't mind I am going to put this on my website with a link back to yours... Let me know before I post it.

Thank you so much for the tips! I am coordinating a friend's wedding right now and I don't have any experience with this so everything is just totally a question for me. But I believe watching this video will help me a lot in making the event successful! Thank you and God bless you more with your profession! =)

Regarding the music flow comment below, you get more bang for your buck and your using wedding and alcohol dynamics to your favor. I find mixing it up all night works best for me personally. This way I am getting buy in from all crowds all night. They're more likely to "work with me" if i am working with them.

what is a dollar dance?

jacquelinelc 3 years ago

The bride and groom go out on the floor and if you want to dance with them you have to pay them money. It's an old school tradition but I don't think it's worth it to kill the party momentum so you can make an extra 50-100 bucks. It's my opinion - that's all. Some cultures/ethnic groups however fork over some serious dough. In those cases you have to weigh out the risk-reward ratio.

There's also one thing above anything else that makes a great wedding reception. It sounds cheesy, but it's true. It's the love and energy in the room from your guests. You can't buy it, fake it or force it. The truly great wedding receptions that I've been to all have this in common. You don't even need alcohol if you have people there who are genuinely excited about your marriage (not just your wedding). Guests who aren't pumped about your special day won't dance no matter what.

I've been a Wedding DJ for 14 years. This guy is spot on.

Also: Cater to your older relatives and kids during the beginning of the dance portion. Have the DJ play The Electric Slide and YMCA, even if you hate it. Aunt Fern will be dancing to it and you can chat with your guests instead. A good DJ knows that the later in the evening, the younger the crowd gets and will switch over to more contemporary music after Aunt Fern has gone home (usually between the cake cutting and bouquet toss).

midtownjohn 3 years ago

Food for thought... if you keep the music mixed up all night and don't subscribe to the theory of playing older earlier in the evening and the younger stuff later you are more likely to have more people in the room come closing time. Also consider that the younger more pretentious group is less pretentious after a few beers. What this means is you can more likely have them dancing to old stuff later AND therefore have both crowds (young and old) happy longer.

Good info bro! Not to mention #12, taking care of the profess. help can make the difference between him or her staying an extra 15 to 20 mins for free, as suppose to charging you for it. Had you only of made them feel more the family.
