Reply to comment by Em_Adespoton in LPT: When booking a DJ for a wedding, let them know that you want 60% volume compared to usual weddings where they just blast everyone's ears off. Makes far more enjoyable time for everyone! by EpsteinWasHung

That Sounds horrible

Because a real DJ reads the crowd and plays the right songs at the right time. A real DJ doesn't just play songs, they make memories. Source - I'm a wedding DJ

Thanks for elaborating. I've not seen that much from most DJ's I've encountered at weddings. Glad to hear there are better ones.

A good DJ at a wedding is also going to be your go to for pretty much everything.

Our DJ was like a secondary day of coordinator who helped us make sure everything ran smoothly, nobody got control of the mic that wasn’t supposed to talk, and hell, he even grabbed us drinks from the bar when he saw ours were empty but we were inundated with people not letting us get over there.

Chicken Dance is the one song I never played and never will play in my 20 years as a DJ. I just can't disrespect myself like that haha

I believe its the standard for experienced DJs that take pride in our craft.
