As you start planning your upcoming wedding day, many thing might come to mind that you must have. Flowers, an amazing wedding dress, tasty food, the perfect venue, and a memorable honeymoon! Other things on your list might be a fun bartender, grandpa’s classic car for the getaway, maybe making sure the bridesmaids have a dress that fits them.
Oh, then there is the DJ or band. This is always the last thing a couple worries about. That is… if they have not been to a wedding in the last five years. We have noticed more and more with the couples who book with us, is it not just because we can make a crowd dance, but for our strong MC skills!
I know what you are thinking… all DJ’s just spin music and talk on the mic! I can get DJ Gary from the karaoke bar to help us party. We always have fun when we hit the bar and he is there. Yes, that might be true. But how many weddings has he worked?
Simple and plan. A working DJ and a wedding DJ are two different things. Why? The way a professional MC speaks and handles a wedding!
A professionally trained wedding MC will do little things a DJ will not. Not only say the right thing at the right time, but control the flow of your wedding. We control everything happening at the reception. From the moment your guest walk into the ballroom doors, to that fun grand entrance with sparklers and fireworks!
Also, how that DJ looks and sounds will have your crowd respect them instantly! The years of the disco ball jacket or the cheesy DJ look is gone. Badly-fitting jackets, with Walmart black pants and bad shoes gives you a hint on how experienced a DJ is as an MC.
Here at SE Events, we train our DJ’s to become a wedding MC. Even DJ ‘s who have wedding experience before working here must do training. We have multiple videos that showcase how a higher-end wedding MC’s act, speak and control a room. We also have examples on how a young, inexperienced MC might act during a wedding and the mistake that can be made. That way, our wedding DJ knows the correct look and sound of a strong MC.
This is all about you as a couple… and your memories of the biggest, most important day to start your lives together. Make sure you hire a wedding DJ with experience, and you will get a strong MC who knows how to work a room to help make your wedding reception an absolute success!
