Weddings

Congrats on getting hitched! Understandably one of the most important events in your life requires utmost attention paid to it, especially music and audio-wise. This is where I help couples like yourself ensure your special day becomes truly memorable.

Important to note: A wedding DJ's job is completely different to a club DJ's. A wedding DJ isn't 'spinning' or mixing for a dancefloor the entire time, except for during afterparty. What a wedding DJ do is to provide carefully curated pieces of music to hype up specific segments, for example during games, speeches, march-ins, bouquet throws, etc, to significantly lift the overall ambience and mood of the wedding and make it feel professional, while making the crowd much more engaged. The difference between having a wedding DJ and just a Spotify playlist playing in the background can be huge.

What I Do

Before the wedding:

Ensure the equipment that you need will be in place at the venue by either liaising directly with the venue manager or going down physically to check the place out
Confirm and give advice on the wedding programme
Finalise the genres and tracks to be played at all segments of the wedding including afterparty, if relevant, to create the right mood for the event
Shortlist and prepare all music for the event

On wedding day:

Arrival 2 hours before event to set up all equipment, do sound check and run through programme/do rehearsal if required
Meet with emcee and wedding coordinator to confirm timings of tracks & rundown
Make sure background music is in the preferred style and genre
Work with emcee to ensure while he's speaking there's no music playing and while he's not there always is
Play specific curated hyped up tracks to get crowd more engaged and liven up the atmosphere during speeches, games, bouquet throw etc
Play march-in tracks according to specified timings
Play requests from wedding attendees as and when they happen
Execute the dancefloor/afterparty with the best tracks for the demographics of crowd and keep them dancing
