Things On Your Checklist To Tell Your Wedding DJ

Hiring the best DJs in Melbourne can make your wedding memorable. It is therefore important to play your part so as to enable your DJ to play his part. If you do not tell your DJ what you expect from him/her, you might not get what you want and you will have no one to blame. Here are some important things you need to tell your wedding DJ.

 

How to pronounce names

The first thing you should do is to decide who will introduce the entire wedding party and the newlyweds for the grand entrance. If you choose your DJ to do the introduction then it is important to teach your DJ how to pronounce the names of the wedding party. Make sure you focus on the unusual names that may be new to the DJ.

 

When to MC and when not to MC

You should let your wedding DJ know if you are down with doing a lot of emceeing. Some DJs just naturally Mc if you do not tell them to stop. If you decide to let your DJ do it, it is important to share your preferences with them. You may also let the DJ know about any strained relationships between some members of your family or bridal party. This will help avoid unnecessary awkwardness. You should therefore tell your DJ to be very careful when addressing sensitive matters or making announcements at your receptions. The best DJs for hire in Melbourne will even ask you about this if you happen to forget.

 

When to play what

Now that you have covered everything about the talking part, it is time to choose your playlist. You will want to fill your wedding DJ in on the songs you have chosen for the major moments of your wedding. Timing is very important, not just in regards to the actual day but also the songs to play.

 

The context for music requests

It is important to provide some context. When it comes to making requests, it is important for the DJ to know which requests to take and which ones to ignore. Some requests will not match with the moment and it is up to the DJ to separate good requests from bad ones. An experienced DJ doesn’t just play songs because the audience has requested them. He uses his knowledge of songs to know what to play and what not to play.

 

A list of songs you don’t want your DJ to play

We all have those songs that we never want to be played at our wedding. You should ensure you tell your DJ such songs to avoid having your day ruined. If there are songs that you don’t want your DJ to play and someone requests them, your DJ should politely decline to play the songs by telling the person that he doesn’t have the song.

 

Your most preferred dress code

The best DJs in Melbourne know what to wear for weddings but not all weddings are the same. It is therefore important to tell your DJ your preferred dress code.
