The Recipe for a Great Wedding Reception

Monday, January 30th, 2012

Your big day is quickly approaching, and your head is most likely swarming with the “To-do’s” that need to be done.  You will want to ask yourself such questions as whether the table seating arrangements are finished, whether the centerpieces will adequately match your décor, and whether the wedding favors are all finished and ready to go.  After all those are answered, there is another big question to ponder – is everything set with the wedding DJ?  For those having Disc Jockeys Worcester, MA, there is a few things to keep in mind in the weeks leading up to your special day.

 

-Do you have all your special dances lined up? These are dances such as your opening entrance, your first dance, the mother/son dance, the father/daughter dance, the song for the bouquet being tossed, as well as a song for when you depart the wedding reception venue.  These particular special songs are a great photo op, so you will want to make sure you have everything set with those.

-Will your wedding DJ play a large enough selection of music?  This is actually a very big point to keep in mind.  Nothing is more likely to leave a bad thought in people’s minds when they go to a wedding and there is only one type of music being played, such as all 80′s music for 5 hours straight.  While a selection of the couple’s favorite music from the 80′s should definitely be played throughout the night, it is never advisable to play only one genre.  A good DJ should have enough knowledge and sense to play a variety of all types of music which will help make sure everyone is dancing.

Hiring a DJ for school dances: Tips for a fun night

Monday, January 30th, 2012

Let’s face it; children and teenagers love music and love to dance, right?  For any Boston DJ working a school dance, there are several points to keep in mind in order to keep the teens happy and moving.

-Play songs they know.  Nothing slows down a dance more than a bunch of kids standing in the corner, not knowing the songs you are playing.

-Play songs which encourage them to dance.  While slow dancing may be nice for new young couples, teens enjoy music where they can get out and show their moves.

-Keep the music flow steady.  Even if you need to take a quick break, the music should never stop.  Plan ahead in order to ensure there is a steady flow to keep everyone out on the floor.

-Keep the slow songs to a minimum.  Depending on the age group of the school you are playing at, chances are the administrators do not want a DJ who is only playing slow songs which encourages couple dances.  Most Principals and teachers would like to see kids dancing together instead of coupling off.

- These are just a few easy tips in order to make the night a truly  memorable even for the school kids.  Your goal as a DJ is to have the kids leave the dance thinking it was the best dance ever.
