Wedding
Receptions: Choosing Music for your reception!
| |
Written by Mike of
Ace DJ Search
Q: I have a list of all of my favorite songs that
I want the DJ to play "in order". How do I make sure
this happens?
A: You don't want to. But, if your DJ has no
experience or you are hiring a family friend, you
might have to. When you hire a Professional DJ,
they've been to hundreds of events like yours. And
while each event is different, they will adapt to
you and your guests all night by playing requests
from everyone! Even a DJ with 20 year's experience
can't predict which songs will make the crowd dance
at every moment throughout the night "in order"! A
Professional DJ uses his vast music knowledge and
expertise to entertain your guests by constantly
reacting to their ever-changing moods. Just like you
selected varieties of food that appeal to all of
your guests, choose categories of music you prefer
and let the DJ do the work for you.
Q: But I'm getting married! Isn't my day be
special?
A: It will be! Good DJs keep in constant contact
with you all night and there are many special things
the DJ will have your guests doing at your
reception. But most Brides/Grooms forget that every
one of your guests will want at least 5 minutes of
conversation with you. As a result, most couples
don't even hear half of the songs that are played!
It's better to choose between 10-15 songs that you
most want played and your Professional DJs will make
sure you know when they are. (Why only 10-15?
Because 4 hours of music is ONLY 50-55 songs!) Your
guests will also stay longer if the DJ is playing
their requests and responding to their musical
tastes so leaving room for their selections makes
good sense.
Q: How can I tell if a DJ will really play the
requests my guests ask him for?
A: This is a question you should find the answer to
BEFORE you book the DJ! Ask how his music is
organized. A versatile DJ that is used to playing
requests quickly will color-code and/or number his
music in books to help him remember where everything
is. Those companies that say they have 5,000
selections at an event but don't have them organized
by Song Title with a numbered system have a
worthless library. If it's not easy to find, it's
going to take a while to play it... if at all. Many
lazy DJs "coast" through a reception memorizing only
the same, lame 30-40 songs they always play. Make
playing requests from your guests mandatory!
Q: Do I give my DJ any other specific songs?
A: Most receptions start with your 1st Dance as
husband and wife (a kind of "spotlight dance" with
just you two) followed by a Father/Daughter Dance
(sometimes Mother/Son Dance at the same time or
following) and then a Wedding Party Dance where
attendants dance as couples. All three songs are
typically slow songs of your choosing. Also, if
there are any birthdays, anniversaries or any other
special celebrations occurring, it's helpful to let
the DJ know these too!
The BEST tip is to simply ask a lot of questions and
visit the DJ at an event before you hire them! DJ
Companies that constantly perform "above the
average" let you do all of these things and welcome
your special input! On your Wedding Day, relax,
enjoy and let the Professional DJ do the work for
you! |
