WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A DJ
All the planning is behind you. You've made the walk down the aisle, proclaimed your love, and exchanged glittering gold wedding bands. Congratulations, you are now man and wife. Now it's time to kick back, unwind, forget all the stress, and celebrate the day at your reception.
WHAT TO EXPECT
First, your photographer may want to take a few more pictures at the Church or wedding site. After that, it's off to be greeted by family and friends who have come together for your wedding day. Don't be surprised to receive an enthusiastic welcome as DJ Zac Barr announces your grand entrance. It's one of the things he enjoys most, and for the next few hours it will be his job to lead the festivities, play the music that is important to you and your guests, and keep the reception running smoothly.
Music is in fact the most important and memorable part of a reception. Reception guests seldom remember the meal or even the cake, but they always remember the music, especially if the DJ did a great job.
WHO COORDINATES THE RECEPTION?
The main reason wedding couples choose a DJ is that the selection of music a DJ can play spans across all ages and tastes. Aside from the music, DJ Zac Barr will also act as Master of Ceremonies to help maintain the proper flow during your reception. DJ Zac Barr will coordinate with your photographer to get all the right pictures for your wedding album. So while you may be thinking of hiring a DJ just for the music or lights, remember that DJ Zac Barr will be available to you a few weeks before the wedding to discuss the desired order of events. This includes the cutting of the cake, the toast, and the bouquet and garter toss. Since DJ Zac Barr will be introducing you and your wedding party, it's important that he knows how to pronounce all the names correctly. That's why he will always ask you for the phonetic spellings of any challenging names.
THE RIGHT MUSIC MIX
Having a DJ you can trust to handle all the MC duties is important, but where DJ Zac Barr really shines is when it comes to knowing what music will get the crowd on the dance floor. In most cases, he will kick off the dance portion of your reception right after the "special dances." This gets your guests up and on the dance floor so they don't begin to feel left out. Other festivities such as the dollar dance, or the garter/bouquet toss can take place at the appropriate times during the reception.
Proper planning for your reception will also include giving DJ Zac Barr a guideline of the types of music (dance, country, beach, rock'n'roll, or oldies) that you want to be played. Keep in mind that you will want all your guests to be satisfied and entertained, so rest assured that DJ Zac Barr is prepared with a wide variety of music to suit all musical tastes. Also give DJ Zac Barr a list of songs that are especially important to you. Just remember that your Wedding Day is a time to celebrate so dance and enjoy yourself!
