Will Your DJ Move Away?

I moved to Ohio to be close to family. My wife grew up here. If 20 years from now, our children start families in a different state, we may move at that point. But until that happens, we’re staying put.

Ask your DJ what their future plans are. Sometimes Brides book DJ’s one to two years out. A lot can change in a person’s life. If they don’t have solid roots, they may be tempted to a different area for a fresh start and new opportunities.

Get Your Guests to Kiss

Don’t get all your guests to kiss, just some of them.

The Kissing Game is a fun way to entertain guests during dinner.

The DJ calls for a couple to come up and do a kiss which the Bride and Groom then must replicate. Around four to six couples can be called during dinner, with around 10 minutes in between each.

If you’d like to do this at your wedding, give a list of couples to your DJ. Make sure to at least tell the first couple your plan so they’re on board and willing. Pick couples you know will have fun or be silly and enjoy!

Hey Bride, Don’t Leave the Dance Floor!

You’re like a bright light that attracts moths. Okay, that sounds bad, but people gravitate to you during your wedding. By being on the dance floor, you communicate that’s where the fun is at. So why wouldn’t you be out on the dance floor all night?

Maybe you want to ensure to talk with all your guests. The first strategy is to talk with only certain guests during dinner time, those who might not be on the dance floor later. Second, you need to see the dance floor as a place where conversations can happen. I see brides all the time going back and forth between talking and dancing.

Lastly, if you’re worried your drink will get low, every guest relishes the chance to serve a bride on her big day.

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.
