Hiring a Wedding DJ (for areas in the world we don’t service!) :)

Mar 30th, 2010 | By kennycasanova

There are a ton of people out there who consider themselves “Disc Jockeys,” but they all offer many different things. There are a number of things to look for, to make sure you pick the right DJ for your wedding ceremony and/or wedding recetion.

I have noticed that the one big “no-no” for seating is putting the old people near the DJ. They hate it and will constantly ask you to turn the music down, even if they are half deaf. Did you think about this? Are you then really all ready to write the seating arrangement for your wedding reception? Sounds like an easy task – BUT IT AIN’T! Family politics, friendship issues, and other divorces… There are a million reasons why you shouldn’t put come people together.

Non Traditional Wedding Ceremony Music

Want a list of songs that they don’t usually play at a wedding ceremony? Making a list of songs that aren’t usually played at weddings seems like an oxymoron. It’s therefore an anti-list. If it isn’t a song you usually hear, then it could be anything! Anyhow, there are actually a handful of songs that do seem to see some regularity in non traditional wedding ceremonies, despite the fact that they are not the norm.
