Can Your DJ Fix a Flat?

A can of Fix-A-Flat should be in every DJ’s vehicle. If pulling a trailer, do they have a nice jack w/ spare tires?Also, does your DJ know how to change a tire?

It’s not likely to happen, but if a vehicle breaks down on the way to your wedding, the DJ will be late or have limited time to set up.

These are the things that keep me up at night. This is why my vehicles are kept in excellent condition and I can quickly fix issues if they arise. Fix-A-Flat isn’t perfect, but if I only have a few miles left to the event, it will get me there quickly so I can do a nice job setting up.

Asking your DJ what year their vehicle is, and what they’d do in an emergency is a fair question.

Mics by the Belly Button

“And next up this evening, let’s hear it for the Best Man!”

He starts talking while holding the microphone far from his mouth, down by his belly button.

I discuss how to hold a microphone with every speaker at a wedding; they always tell me they know how to hold it. In my experience, they don’t and their nerves often take over as soon as they start talking.

To help solve this, I’ll sometimes let them hold the microphone and play with it to get comfortable. I’ll even include the rest of the table in the discussion; this way, the people closest to the speaker can give a reminder to hold the mic closer to their mouths.

I can always turn down a microphone if a person is too loud, but I’ll get feedback if needing to crank the volume while trying to make someone loud enough for everyone to hear.
