How to DJ a Wedding. Follow these tips to be the wedding DJ everyone is talking about.
You will need A playlist A meeting with the bride and groom A list of names and announcements
A backup CD of the first-dance song Equipment Formal attire and a positive and friendly
disposition. Step 1. Print a playlist of all the music you have and give it to the bride
and groom at least three weeks ahead of time. Allow them make suggestions, add songs, and
to delete songs they don't like. Step 2. Have a planning meeting with the bride and groom
two weeks before the wedding. Ask the couple what announcements they would like you to
make and when. Get the names and pronunciations of everyone in the wedding party. Write down
the pronunciations so you don't flub anyone's name. Step 3. Find out what kind of music
the couple expects throughout the reception. Ask them what kinds of music their friends
and family would like. Prepare a backup copy of the couple's first-dance music in the event
of technical problems. Step 4. Visit the venue to draw a map of the DJ space and your layout.
Step 5. Set up early and check your equipment. Arrive wearing formal wear, and don't forget
to smile! Did you know *** Clark started his career as a DJ at the student radio station
