A Wedding Reception DJ Should be Heard and Not Seen
Ok, the bride and groom have been looking forward to this day for a long time. DJ'ing their wedding may be the only thing you have going that day, but listening to you DJ their wedding is just one of hundreds of things they have going on that day. The DJ is not the center of attention - sometimes. I had the most success when I was out of the way and providing the music. I would only use the mike for specific things that the bride and groom had asked for in advance (dollar dance, garter toss, etc.), other than that, I stayed off it and let the music do the work.
**Webmaster note:
Great point - thanks for bringing that up. The wedding DJ isn't the star of the show. It's good to know in advance what the bride and groom want for their wedding reception entertainment and if they expect you to MC, or just spin.
