Weddings & Dj's (Don't make this one of 'Those' threads)

[NakedAge]

Hi kids.

Last night my cousin got married. It was such a beautiful occasion. Very, laid back and informal. Still formal but not emotional. More laughs than tears.

But yeah, was talking to my girlfriend, and the dreaded wedding conversation arose. "What are we going to do when we get married?" To which I replied,

"What do you mean when? Don't you mean IF!?" bloody crazy woman :) (Gotta love her though God bless her).


Anyways, we were saying about, how theres going to be no band, and only a Dj because, I'm a Dj, so, bands are a insult :) (Nah I'm kidding) and so first thing she said "Age your NOT Djing our wedding" and it was ON! .. It was almost as if we were allready engaged talking about it. "What do you mean I can't Dj my own wedding? Are you fucken kidding me? Thats my wedding I can't let just some fucking Dj do it.. I have standards woman, standards!"

"No you can't! End OF!!!.. It's our wedding God damn it!"

"Nah! No fucking way, I GOTTA!"

Anyways we reached a compromise right. (We're not even getting married. But just incase, now we have a compromise.)

So it was like "Ok you can Dj for maybe a hour or something after the first dance or some shit just because everyone knows you do it, so like, kind of like a thank you for coming set"

"Done deal, love you babe"

But, would any Dj here, play at their own wedding? I sure as fuck would. Infact I'd make sure I did because I have a confidence in myself I dont have in other Dj's. And that sounds arrogant but I know only 1 other Dj, who I trained up, from scratch, personally, who would be able to deliver a gig in my honour, to a standard I could be proud of.

(I know the way I've put it sounds really arrogant but, I've just met ALOT of really bad Dj's here)

So, obviously every Dj has their standard they set, which they expect to be the atleast minimal standard of the Dj who would be doing there wedding, so if as a DJ you felt uncomfortable that a Dj you were going to hire for your wedding wouldn't deliver to your own standard, would you Dj your own?

[S&S]

GREAT THREAD

Never. Remember the reception is about "HER", ur just paying the money for it. The couple is supposed to be the "Honored" ones at the wedding. People can see u DJ almost any day at any party, But will only get to attend ur wedding once in a lifetime. Find a DJ who u are comfortable with and just let him do his thing and sit back and enjoy the celebration.

[NakedAge]

yeah but I understand, but thats my problem. I will NEVER find a Dj I feel comfortable with to Dj my wedding. You could put, Roger Sanchez, Dj Sneak, Armand Van Helden all of them, the best wedding Dj in the world and I'd say no. I'd say "hey your more than welcome to attend, and play a sett, but, thats it" Like, I'd still have to have a major input just because, as a Dj I know exactly whats required, and being my own wedding, I'd know EXACTLY how it has to be done.

Because I know that, I'd feel kind of obliged to give my guests the time of their life, make it the best wedding ever and so I'd have to step up. Not the whole night, because your right it is about her, but being that it is, like, I'd know how to make it best be about her.

The amount of rehersal I'd have to go throw with any Dj hired is, fucking bizzare. But, at the end of the night. In the booth is how I enjoy myself. I'd feel alot more comfortable Djing my own wedding than being at it. So I think after the formalities, somewhere between main course and desert, after speeches and all that, I think I'd jump on for a bit just to kinda, get the crowd rocking, play the songs that are special to us and know that it was good as it could of been because I saw to it myself.

Is this the only gig you can get? If so, then do it...

[NakedAge]

I told you not to make this one of 'Those' threads :(

Oh well. :)

Don't worry champ. I've probably done more gigs in 1 year than you'll do in your whole life, but thats besides the point. Even though currently I've stopped playing ALOT (Twice a month now) because I'm focussing other things so I can save, move abroad and play more, if I never played again, bar that wedding, it'd be a welcome change. Thing is I'm not expected to play at gigs anymore, I'm expected to organise them. People don't expect to see 'NakedAge' on the flyer of a club anymore, they expect to see 'Adrian' at an event I've organised.

But yeah. I'm asking you, if YOU would. I've given my answer, my answers yes, I'd fucken massacre the fuck out of it.. Would you?

[S&S]

How about just having a small family "regular" type reception. Then maybe about a month or so later or when the funds are there, renting a spot and having a full blown blast with dinner & open bar for your party guest. Then you can spin all night long.

[bomb cola]

I seriously doubt that...

[NakedAge]

Ok wow mate your famous.. By the way, who are you again? It's in the title mate, don't make this a I'm better than you thread, go away now.


S&S, thats a good idea, but that can be done anytime. Like, I'm lucky. I think as far as entertainment goes we're lucky because we could get it cheap via friends and shit because over time, you make contacts and stuff.

But my family isn't huge, neithers hers, we'd have to have friends and family together and we have more friends than family, so its better to blow out on the friends and let the family deal with having a contemporary wedding.

See, I just wanna do it because I know I can deliver the traditonal Italian music required for our parents etc, and the dance music beats, and the Ausie retro crap and all that, alll into one little neat package that can please everyone, thats why I wanna do it, because I know I can do it well.

[bomb cola]

Never said I was famous,...If you want to make your wedding day some huge ego trip about your DJ skillz, and how noone else could EVER play the way you do even the legendary Roger S, then do it. If you think your friends and family are going to be happy having to indulge your inflated sense of self by staying to hear you "beat the box" on your wedding day, then by all means, go for it. If you think your wife is going to be down for you hanging in the boof with yer homies working on the tracklist for your "Day of Glory" mix while she has to say thank you to all the guests for their gifts and effort to get there, then sure, do it. This is my answer to your question. It's the same answer I gave in my first post, just spelled out a little bit better for ya, mate!!!

[NakedAge]

you don't understand what I'm saying. Do you mean to tell me a stranger would better know what music to play to my family and friends? I have inside knowledge because we experience the music together. I'd be able to play songs that relate to us, and mixes as well, the mixes I'd play like when we met and shit, which is why I'm saying to play a short sett of something like that, would be special for the people there because it would be OUR songs.

Eg: last night, if the band had played a song maybe that like, me and my brother and cousin and stuff used to all listen to together, something that envoked those memories, then there would of been a cousin in arms momment. Or if he played a song maybe that the bride and her bridesmaids would of had fond memories to then there would of been like, a bridesmaid momment.

I think it would be more special to everyone there, especially since they KNOW I enjoy myself there, as opposed to being, a host, it would be more special to everyone that way. I wouldn't even announce I was playing, I'd just go up and play a few songs, just so I could know and have the security of knowing that I know whats going on and that I know that if who ever IS doing is doing a shit job because he's just another wedding jock, atleast I could of added those little personal touches that someone outside the group of family and friends will never understand, those small touches that would make the night that little bit more perfect. I wouldnt get up and say "OK everyone I'm gonna Dj now. Cheer for me"

[P-Flipp]

Being a dj myself,on our wedding we had this kid handle it and no regrets.He animated well and worked the crowd beautifully.Best thing wifey was happy!

[NakedAge]

see I just have a massive insecurity that, someone hired won't understand the history of the people there. I dont want it to be just another wedding.. I want it to be THE wedding, cos fuck, thats my wife man. Thats the girl who, the world should bow to cos she had the strength to love the most annoying person on the face of the planet. And so, she deserves the best, thats why if I got some shit sack Dj, who, couldnt make it as good as the few weddings I'd done myself I'd be furious. Because as I said, you set yourself a standard.

If you do weddings and they go great, you would expect that same standard ATLEAST of your own wedding

[Tim Martinez]

Why would you even think about leaving your new bride hanging while you play records?

Focus man, focus.

I made a mixed cd with tunes we wanted to dance to, gave it to the jock...done.

[NakedAge]

Now thats a good idea.

[MadMixer]

Go ahead and play them rekkids.....I'll give your woman the heavenly treatment and guerilla dickin she deserves on her special night. Spinning on the night that changes yalls life forever? You gotta be fuckin kiddin me right? Where do yall find these muffuccas?

[NakedAge]

I still don't think alot of you understand tho. I wouldn't get up and do the whole night, but, just do my part to make it special. I really like Tim Martinez's idea though. I truly think that solves all the problems. You still get the songs you require in, theyre still played to a standard you can be satisfied with and you don't lose time with the poor woman who marries you.


Her and I met at a gig I was Djing so, I think it's very important to some how incorporate music and the songs will love and enjoy. But fuck, this is all hyperthetical remember? :)

I'm not even engaged yet.

I can't see myself getting married ever anyway, but yeah. ........... Fuck man, I'd definately be Djin on the honeymoon :)

[Bill Blake]

Maybe you can DJ her wedding when she finds the right guy, who's not an idiot (obviously not you)?

[CalvinInTheMixMorgan]

Okay, this is what took place on my Wedding day. Wedding and Reception at same location, Wedding poolside, Reception inside of ballroom. The DJ that I trusted to do my Wedding had picked up an attitude for whatever reason, can't remember what exactly. So what I ended up doing was setting up equipment by the pool for the Ceremony, ran inside and set up the other equipment for the Reception (did I mention I own a ton of top of the line equipment), shameless plug.

Now keep in mind I have been DJing since 1980 and several of the guys in my Wedding party were DJs, so I had to let the other DJ know that anyone of them was more than capable of pulling off what I and my Bride needed done. As was stated within a previous reply, it's all about the Bride and I explained that to him. He finally chilled and was able to pull off a great evening, everyone still talk about that day and how great it was, wow.

So no, I didn't play at my Reception but I did set up all of the equipment and helped break it down, bring it back to the house, I finally chilled on the flight to Greece.

[NakedAge]

Well theres no question about the equipment and stuff, I got all that covered, but, as you said, it's about the wife, it's just, I've seen too many slack Dj's who treat these things as 'just another wedding' .. Admittedly I haven't done many weddings for the exact opposite reason to that. I'd get booked for a wedding and in my head was this notion of "man, this is the first day of the rest of 2 peoples lives together, and it's up to me to make their celebration stunning." If you mess that up, like, thats their wedding day ruined. I used to make myself sick at the thought, literally the nerves would kill me.

But I think ANY respectable Dj would have those same nerves. Because it's ALWAYS about the people at the party, not the guy playing the music.
And, like I just been booked by too many agencies to go do weddings and shit and made myself sick whilst they seen it as 'just another wedding' when, it's not. Those are people. They have emotions, they have a life, they have memories and, they're just as important as you are. Even 21sts birthdays, thats someones coming of age, that's their welcome to adult-hood. Thats the 1 party of their life that they NEED to be a 110% good party. Anyone who treats it as 'Just another 21st' I think has no respect for the client and, that worries me about the quality of their work.

Recently I went to do a party and the man who booked me was playing a 21st in one room, me in another. First time I met the guy. ... He Dj'd this party in ummmm, we call them Trackies, I don't know what they're called in America. Those, pants you wear around the house, they're like sport pants. I came in, like, nice black dress pants, nice shirt, suit jacket etc, he's there in his Sunday on the couch clothes. Thats not professional, and, I won't work for him again because I can see he takes no pride in his job nor does he respect his clients. Thats my biggest fear. Getting a wedding Dj like that. I couldn't live with myself if it happend. Like, the girl I marry, or you marry, deserves the best. These are the woman we've selected to spend our lives with and, your going to just let some stranger handle something that important?

Of the few weddings I did ever Dj, I only Dj'd them because the clients were people who had booked me for many gigs over the years who were always pleased with my service, were nice people and, I would of seriously done the gig for free if they'd ask because, after a while they become like, 1 night friends, but friends none the less. But for the wedding, I went all out, at no extra cost because, it means alot to the bride. So, for me, Mix Cd.

I'd get a Dj friend, the 1 I trained personally, to like, play the mix Cd and do things like the first dance and stuff, but, no way would I trust just anyone with something as important as a wedding. Also, I think having someone familular do it just really makes it 1000% more, comfortable, and special for everyone. It becomes alot less formal.

[S&S]

Here's wishing u the best in ur decision :scared:

[The Buddy Love Show]

Go ahead and play them rekkids.....I'll give your woman the heavenly treatment and guerilla dickin she deserves on her special night. Spinning on the night that changes yalls life forever? You gotta be fuckin kiddin me right? Where do yall find these muffuccas?

damn dude...you cracked me the fuck up

"heavenly treatment and guerilla dickin"

i got next

[NakedAge]

Don't talk about my girlfriend like some whore you share around and catch eachothers Std's from. Respect her, because she's everything that is beautiful in life that you will never know.

[blackwax]

I did dj at my own wedding!

I also had some other very good dj's and friends play
Andy Davis (southport weekender)
Max Rees (southport weekender and my mentor)
Mike Mahar (Exceptional DJ and friend)

i actually had a pic of me djing at the wedding that was printed in Blues and Soul magazine will try and dig that out sometime.

Marrige is about compramise if you truly love each other she will let you play if thats what you want and likewise you should respect that she will not want you to play all night.

[NakedAge]

No see, I don't WANT to play. I'm just looking at it from a perspective of, like, not being able to trust other Dj's to handle it. I know if I dj'd another Dj's wedding, he would have high expectations of me based on his own experience, thats what I'd expect of another Dj, and I just can't trust another Dj to handle something that important.

My girlfriend loves what I do and how I do it, to not have my little, tinge to it, wouldn't make it special for her because it'd be just another Dj, but at the same time it's our wedding day, it's the day I shouldn't be working. Nor should she, we're both very informal and un-traditonal so, if she said yes I'd sigh and go do it, but not for me, for her. Thats why the compromise or solution rather, is the mix Cd. That way she is still hearing the music the way she likes it, my way. As am I, as is the crowd. Those personal touches will mean so much more, and I think also, instead of a bonbonniere (I think thats how you spell it) how good would it be to give a copy of that Cd out at the end of the night? Kind of like, as memory of the night? It would hold so much more memories of the occasion than the a little naked man with some almonds taped around his nuts.

At my cousins wedding, they did something good, they had the photographer, and you can download there wedding photos and buy them and shit it's grouse, I think we'd do the same with the video and so forth, but, I think the mix Cd is a great idea.

It makes it so much more informal and thats how we'd both want it. With no Dj or Mc kind of, directing things, it really makes it, a family do.

[Nige55]

I'm at the stage of planning the music for my wedding, so your thread was interesting. The mix CD is a v.good option. Everyone has their preference of how they would have it, I guess I see it differently to you. My Mrs. will want songs that are also special to her, so for me it has nothing to do with a mix or a set, or someone 'performing', the focus should be on the couple and the emotions associated with how they met and the future together. I like the idea of simply playing out songs that are special to both the bride and groom, - in their entirety (sp?), - Loft style. I wouldn't want the focus to be on the blends and if there's loads of energy. I will pick the songs that are most special to me and her and play them from start to finish, and select the order. You can get any DJ to do that. That's my plan anyway. Hope it works out for you (ahem, if you DO get married !) :-)

[NakedAge]

well yeah. mix Cd would have start to finish of songs that are special to us of course. But, I think like, maybe a hour of songs we love remixed and blended and shit to play after all the speeches and all that is said and done wouldn't be a bad idea, just to give people something to dance to.

But see, as a dj thats how I am, I can mix anything into anything but, no way would I tamper with something like a first song. .. Just more so doing a mix for the audience. As I said earlier, like how if the band had played a song my cousins and I had listened to as kids and loved, then at his wedding we'd all would of been able to be up in arms to it.

A mix Cd is more the purpose of that. So I can mix songs that reflect the history not only of us, but the guests. Also, keeps them guessing. The suprise of, having a song blend into another, that you may of listened to as a kid, or, that was on the radio the night you and your mates accidently brought your other mate a transexual hooker, or the song in the night club that was playing when you met, all that jazz, for the people there to celebrate the couple, I think it's important to appreciate them somehow and try to incorporate everyone into the celebrations, and I think thats how, by linking people together via music that connects them. I wouldn't play a full funky underground deep house mix cd. Nothing like that.

It's just, brides fuss over the dress and everything else going on right? Blokes fuss over this. Everything else I don't care about, because I know, if everything else fucks up in her face on the day, then I can still pull it all together with the music at night and make it a great night. On her special day, you gotta be a man and step up to the decks and make it everything she wants it to be. If it all goes pair shaped, the final nail in the coffin is a shit Dj. But, with the right guy for the job, if everything else goes wrong, you can have faith he'll pull it together, thats where I come in. Even if in the absolute, most very worst case scenario she's crying at the reception because everythings gone wrong, and it turns out she ends up having a boogie with her friends and shit, and, I'm stuck up there doing what I do, like, I know that that boogie she was with her friends, would make all the shit that goes wrong fade away. To have the security to know you can make turn a shit situation around, well, it's like a police man throwing a major function and hiring a mall guard to do security for it. Why take the risk of getting someone less qualified when you have the ability to organise better? And in the worst case scenario, if something does go wrong, then he's a police, he can do what he has to do as a cop. Get what I mean?

[mjoseph]

Get what I mean?

never.


With no Dj or Mc

seen this first hand as a best man, and this is significantly worse than providing a cash bar. with no mc there is very little direction or continuity. a large wedding conducted this way would end in shambles.

[Gigi]

There were some good points raised in this thread. (and some "not so good" ones but folks are entitled to their opinion) Interesting topic for "househeads" and DJ's to broach.

When both bride and groom are "heads" and music apprecianados (sp?) alike then the choice of DJ is quite important. At worst, the DJ is under scrutiny and pressure to come correct and please both the wedding couple and the crowd.

Here's a feminine perspective. I'm a "head" who's been in the party scene for a good minute, knows her music, dances like no one's watching and I'm getting married soon. Interestingly, my fiancee spawned my interest in dj'ng so I spin a little music as well. So as we're finalizing wedding plans, of course we jokingly toyed with the idea of playing the music ourselves. Dependent upon the mood, atmosphere and type of reception you're planning, perhaps dj'ing at your own affair isn't necessarily an atrocity. The good thing is there's no hardened fast rule on this, it's whatever the couple wants. Now our reception is being held on a boat which will sail for a few hours so the idea of one of us having a little fun on the decks....no pun intended :coolgleamA: isn't that far-fetched? What an interesting shot in the photo album that would be huh? :biggrin: Now if you're having a total formal affair, I'd say "fuggedd abowt it" and let your hired help do their job.

Fortunately for us, choosing the DJ was easy since our crew consists of some GREAT DJ's, both commercial and underground. Hell, I've heard and seen "bedroom DJ's" who hone better skills than some of the jocks that play "out" and would rock a wedding (or party) better than most!

Music is important, especially to us "heads" so we'll be more critical and anal than others about the equipment, set up, music selections and mixes played, whether we're at a party or a wedding reception. It's all about your taste and satisfaction. To me, the "good" dj will cater to just that.

[NakedAge]

Thats exactly what I mean. I don't want my wedding to be an underground nightclub affair, but, there will be more friends than family. We have small families. But, our friends are multicultural, so we can't make it a traditional Italian wedding because, our friends from other cultures won't understand.

How ever, we can't make it strictly NON Italian because then, Nonna and Nonno will be sitting there like 'Che?'

and so, we have to compromise, which is why the choice is definately a Dj, how ever, my friends, my family, my girlfriend. I know exactly how to tap into them, and I know exactly how to unite both fronts musically, thus, a mix cd would be the best option as opposed to, me actually Dj'ing or hiring a Dj.

Best man will fascilitate as Mc, if he's shy, I'll have to destroy him. Either that, or I'll hire my mate I studied radio production with in 2003. It'll be interesting. But I could never marry a girl who wanted a band.

[DaBownca]

GREAT THREAD

Never. Remember the reception is about "HER", ur just paying the money for it. The couple is supposed to be the "Honored" ones at the wedding. People can see u DJ almost any day at any party, But will only get to attend ur wedding once in a lifetime. Find a DJ who u are comfortable with and just let him do his thing and sit back and enjoy the celebration.
Dat dere is some bullshit! The reception is about the both of you! That being said I tried to spin a little at my wedding but they (my wife and DJ partner at the time) wouldn't let me. i understand but its like loving to DJ my birthday party ..what makes me most happy is being able to make my people happy. They couldn't stop me from busting floor moves in my Pierre Cardin (yeah it was THAT long ago) tux...even though my groomsmen who would be all over the floor with me at the clubs wouldn't do it ...except for my best friend!

[DaBownca]

Is this the only gig you can get? If so, then do it...
That was uncalled for I understand his point and you coulda disagreed without being snide

[NakedAge]

I dont have birthday parties anymore. For that reason. Everyone always says "You can't Dj, it's your birthday" or "YOUR wedding", they don't understand that I'm more comfortable there than I am socialising with the guests. At the nights I throw, whilst the other Dj's spin, my friends come and, talking to them is really hard because at a party I don't know what to say because, I was djing the music as a bedroom Dj before I was going to the parties. I didn't know what they were like to attend, and the first one I went to, I was Djing.

Outside of a party situation, no problems. Coffee's, dinner, house visits and so forth, it's all good, but for some reason at a club, if I'm not Djing, I just feel out of place as a patron.

I can't be arsed with a wedding. For her it'll be a big day, for me it'll be "come on lets get this shit over with". On the actual day I'll be cursing because I'll be like 'Damn it! I don't get to sleep in!'


Living with the girl I love for ever I look forward to, but the actual night of the celebration for me would just be another headache. I'm a shallow bastard, I know, but yeah.

DaBownca - Thanks champ. I appreciate your understanding. :)

thanks man, if one day I do get hitched and do the whole, mix cd, bonboniere thing, I'll be sure to send you a copy :)

Sounds like a plan fam

[hairyarmbutcher]

I DJed at my own wedding, not all night - but 2 hours or so, was great fun. The rest of the night my good friends played on - most of our friends are DJs, haha, so no worries on knowing the music was going to rock. Me n the other 1/2 met while I was DJing and we use to goto to house nights together before we got it on, haha. I played alot of hiphop too as some of our friends are breakers, so we had a little show on the dance floor too.

My other half was cool with it, but if its a problem as someone has pointed out in a eary post weddings really are all about the bride- if you cannot agree on this maybes you should'nt be getting married anyways, haha.

[NakedAge]

The only other thing is, by the time I get married I might be a big superstar Dj, and so I'll be able to invite the general public and instead of have the priest reside over a altar, he can do it over a Dj boothe, then, I think it would be required to play a few songs.

But, the right song can create the most perfect atmosphere. Like, have any of you seen ummm nottt Pete Tong, whats hsisssss name, tip of my fingerrrss NORMAN COOK!!! (Fat Boy Slim) at Brighton Beach?

He plays ummmm, Pure Shores I think? And all this foam floats over the crowd or something? I dont have the dvd anymore, but it's all part of creating a beautiful momment. I think in that momment, it's not about FatBoy Slim, it's about the 40,000 or so people at the gig.
