Tips for Planning the Perfect Party
For a wedding, keep in mind that your guests are going to be where the couple are. If you’re on the dance floor, the guests will be too!​
​
-
Don’t micromanage the timeline. We do need the order of events but not necessarily the exact time for each. You’ve hired a great DJ, now let us do our job.
-
If there are older guests, try not to sit them close or right in front of the speaker(s).
-
Don’t put the DJ in an obscure location or corner; the DJ needs to be easily visible and near the dance floor so they can see it to get a feel for the crowd.
-
If you have dance floor lighting, keep in mind that darker is better. Use dimmers for chandeliers, cafe lighting, etc.
-
If you have a bar or photo booth at the event, please put it in the main room where the DJ is. You want to keep people near the dance floor at all times.
-
When picking your songs for your event, take into account not only your taste, but the guests’ as well.
-
You always want to leave the guests wanting more. It’s not your responsibility to entertain guests until 2am.
-
When picking your music, you don’t have to overdo it. Pick 20 or so songs you like and a few you don’t, and let us fill in from there.
-
We typically recommend that toasts are kept to a maximum of 5 minutes per person and a maximum of 4 people.
-
We also recommend that the first dance is done right after you are introduced, and suggest shortening the parent dances.
-
If you have to cut corners on your budget, don’t skimp on your DJ lighting—it can make or break your event!
