The Real Skills You Should Look For In A Wedding DJ
We have been in the room for many wedding receptions. In reality too many to count and if you ask us what is the number factor that makes a wedding great it is the person in charge of the music. The DJ holds the keys to the car and that car can either be headed to an unforgettable evening or it can be headed for car problems. That is a job no one should envy. That job can be judged simply from the number of humans on the dance floor. You know what it means if that dance floor is empty.
So what skills does a DJ need to combat the empty dance floor issue that may arise. Experience is the key factor for us when it comes to any job. You need to know how to deal with the situation and who better than someone who has been there before done that and came home with the t-shirt. I have seen many times an empty dance floor and the person with their hands on the wheel not know what to do because they have not been there. It is a crawl under a rock type of moment. But with experience you know how to deal with it. It could be as simple as knowing the crowd or knowing what gets people back on that dance floor.
The funny thing about experience is you can’t see it on someone. You need to be present to witness it as it happens and it comes when you least expect it. I would try to see a DJ at work if you could maybe right at the beginning of the night when the open bar has not been as frequently visited. You can tell early as most of the good wedding DJ’s have already worked the room and has taken notes on age demographic and anything else that helps them decipher music taste. However the line between a full and empty dance floor is very thin. It can happen so fast that you don’t know what happened. But if we know one thing that can help it even better than an experienced DJ.That one thing is the people throwing the party being on that dance floor.
