Tips For Planning The Perfect Party


  1. 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!

  2. Don’t micromanage the timeline. We do need the order and general time of events, but if we get off the timeline we will work with your planner/coordinator to adjust and get back on track.

  3. If there are older guests, try not to sit them close or right in front of the speaker(s).

  4. 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 see it to get a feel for the crowd.

  5. If you have dance floor lighting or uplighting, keep in mind that darker is better. Use dimmers for chandeliers, cafe lighting, etc.

  6. 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.

  7. When picking your songs for your event, take into account not only your taste, but the guests’ as well. If it’s a wedding, have your Wedding Party/VIPs send you a short list of dance requests.

  8. You always want to leave the guests wanting more. It’s not your responsibility to entertain guests until 2:00 AM.

  9. When picking your music, you don’t have to overdo it. Pick 30 or so songs you like and a few you don’t, and let us fill in from there.

  10. We typically recommend that toasts are kept to a minimum of 5 minutes per person and a maximum of 4 people.

  11. We also recommend that the first dance is done right after you are introduced, followed by the parent dances.

  12. If you have to cut corners on your budget, don’t skimp on your DJ lighting—it can make or break your event!
