We weigh in on the age old question – Do we need our DJ to MC or just get a friend to do it?
When I hear this question asked I always think… Do you need a chef to cook the food? A photographer to take the photos? A Florist to provide the flowers? Then why not a DJ/MC to be your Master or ceremonies?
We will list some reasons why using a professional DJ/MC is key for your event.
1. EXPERIENCE AND PROFESSIONALISM.
A professional DJ/MC has the experience and training needed to handle any situation that may arise during the reception. They have been trained to keep the night running smoothly, making announcements, and engaging the crowd. Professional DJ/MCs also have a high level of professionalism, meaning they will dress appropriately and conduct themselves in a professional manner, adding to the overall elegance of your wedding.
2. TIME MANAGEMENT SKILLS
A professional DJ/MC knows how to manage time effectively, keeping the reception on schedule and making sure that everything runs smoothly. This is especially important if you have a tight schedule for the reception, and you don’t want your guests to be left waiting for the next event.
3. FLEXIBILITY.
Professional DJ/MCs are flexible and able to adapt to any changes that may occur during the reception. They have experience dealing with unexpected events, and are equipped to handle them in a calm and professional manner.
4. ENTERTAINMENT SKILLS
A professional DJ/MC is also an entertainer, and they know how to get the party started. They can help to break the ice, get guests dancing and keep the energy level high throughout the night.
5. ORGANISE THE RUN SHEET, TALK MUSIC AND DISCUSS VIBE
This is a key part of what we do and what makes us so successful – this is where your wedding comes to life and we make sure its tailored to you and your guests.
Before the Wedding you want to know what is actually going to happen on the day with the music, entertainment and timing, it’s too late to be at the wedding and trying to tell your friend what you want at that point. We like to meet with you about 4 weeks before your Wedding to organise a run sheet, talk music, listen to music, discuss ideas and flow for the night and last but not least meet with you and your partner so we can be friends and get to know each other before the Wedding. By the time the Wedding roles around we want to be high-fiving and having a laugh!
