Do I need a DJ for my Wedding?
if I had a dollar for every time I’m asked this question..
I’m a big believer in getting a professional to manage the tunes on your big day.
a playlist cannot read the vibe of your crowd and adjust its tunes accordingly.
Music is SO important to a wedding. IMO it is THE most important thing after a celebrant.
It creates atmosphere and feels, energy and joy, nostalgia and memories.
Are you thinking- we’re just going to do some Spotify playlists and go with that/ save money/ not essential yada yada?..
Don’t do it. Find it in your budget. It will be well spent.
“Music can make or break a wedding. Don’t cheap out on it.”
I’ve been at weddings with Spotify playlists and meh tbh. MEH.
You might anticipate your crew will be at Drake stage at 8pm but they may still be in De La Soul territory.
A good DJ will drop a tune and see it doesn’t have the desired effect so they’ll change direction.Good DJ’s will get you to guide the tune list for the night- what do you love and what don’t you want played? They can take requests and if they’re really vibing and interacting with the crowd that amps the d floor vibe even more. It’s also just more .. human..
“Secondly, putting together playlists is a massive undertaking if you really care about the music and the vibe it creates.”
Just leave it to the pros. I meet so many couples in the week of the wedding and the playlists remain on the to do list, creating a lot of unnecessary stress.
Thirdly, they often can control the ceremony entry and exit tunes, which means you’re not allocating that job to a nervous friend who might stuff it up. Trust me- no one’s ever that relaxed about having that job.
Many DJ’s also MC!
There’s just nothing like the energy of a live DJ. Nothing.
I only recommend the best so you can rest assured they will absolutely rinse it.
