12 Tips for planning the PERFECT Indian Wedding with your DJ
Its time to start planning your big fat Indian Wedding, and we want to make sure we set you off on the right foot. Here are 12 quick tips to consider as you begin your planning process:
For a wedding, keep in mind that your guests are going to be where the couple are. If you’re on the dance floor, the guests will be too!
Don’t micromanage the timeline. We do need the order of events and correlating names, but not necessarily the exact time for each. You’ve hired a great DJ, now let us do our job.
If there are older guests, try not to sit them close or right in front of the speaker(s).
Don’t put the DJ in an obscure location or corner; the DJ needs to be easily visible and near the dance floor so they can get a feel for the crowd.
If you have dance floor lighting, keep in mind that darker is better. Use dimmers for chandeliers, cafe lighting, etc.
If you have a bar or photo booth at the event, please put it in the main room where the DJ is. You want to keep people near the dance floor at all times.
When picking your songs for your event, take into account not only your taste, but the guests’ as well.
We live in Florida. It gets HOT! If you are planning a outdoor ceremony during the day, please considering providing us some shade as laptops DO overheat. I’ve heard many stories from DJs and Photographers of having laptops and cameras overheat during outdoor ceremonies.
When picking your music, you don’t have to overdo it. Pick 20 or so songs you like and a few you don’t, and let us fill in from there.
We typically recommend that toasts and speeches are kept to a maximum of 5 minutes per person.
We also recommend that the first dance is done right after you are introduced, and suggest shortening the parent dances to 1-2 minutes.
If you have to cut corners on your budget, don’t skimp on your DJ lighting—it can make or break your event!
