I once did a wedding in Surrey, where the Bride and Groom wanted The Prodigy -Smack My B*tch up for their first dance. That was definitely memorable!
Classy, smooth, memorable, clever, exciting
Get the right DJ! It can be the make or break of any party.
I will have a pre booking consultation over the phone with each couple. I will then be in touch via email or phone call in the run up to the wedding. I will arrange a phone call 2-3 weeks before the big day to go over the final, smaller details and make sure we are on the same wavelength (I ALWAYS make lots of notes). I will then tailor a playlist and wedding to the couples requirements. A lot of time is spent planning each wedding.
Read the room. Each party and group of guests is different, a good DJ needs to be able to work the crowd out and play the right songs to get each crowd going. This is something that is built up over years of experience, but also REALLY KNOWING YOUR MUSIC!!
Wow there have been a few interesting ones -
A tipi in the middle of a field in Essex.
A hotel in Turkey
A cattery (Yes, you heard correct)
My party trick has to be my ability to mix songs together that you would never expect would be possible.
