Ceremony Backup Music

You’re walking down the aisle and the song cuts off. What do you do?

Many DJ’s use one device to play ceremony music on (I’m not sure how many in the Cleveland area do this). Since the ceremony goes quick, relative to the whole night, DJ’s want equipment that is quick to setup and tear-down. Some even rely on bluetooth, not wanting wires between their iPad and speakers.

I think ceremony needs a more sophisticated setup. If a computer freezes, I can instantly switch to a backup device. There would only be silence for a quarter of a second. A DJ using only one device would have to wait for the device to restart if it crashed (that’s not a situation you’d want to find yourself in). Also, using bluetooth can be great, but they can still have cut-outs. I don’t want to risk anything during the ceremony, so for me, everything needs to be wired. You’ve been planning on walking down the aisle for so long, it needs to be perfect.

A good DJ spends time putting their equipment together so it can be set up quick while also looking nice.
