In my 19 years in the DJ
business, I have seen many trends. I have worked with over 5000 brides, and
hopefully helped them find, and create the “perfect wedding reception" It's
not easy. What kind of DJ do we have? The big question. The latest trend I
have noticed is gravitation back to low key DJs at receptions.
Back in the late 90's, it seemed as though every client I had walk through
my door wanted a "High Energy" DJ with props, line dances, and lighting. I
honored every request, as Music
In Motion is a custom DJ service and wishes to work with the bride and
groom to make their wedding exactly what they want. Recently, I have seen a
drastic shift in the overall way of thinking out there. Now in 2003, about
half of my clients are asking for NO interaction from the DJ or just
partial, “Toned down “presentations. Party novelties or “Props " as we refer
to them, are used only half the time, as compared to about 80% in 1999.
When I ask my clients what brought them to their way of thinking, almost
every time the answer is the same. “We saw a tacky, obnoxious DJ that ruined
my friends wedding! He was constantly talking, did too many line dances, one
after the other, and got in the guests face. He thought it was his show, and
not the bride and grooms wedding! We don't want that for our wedding! “
Now here is just a thought to ponder. You are afraid of a DJ ruining your
reception by being too much, “in your face," so you get a DJ that just
stands there and plays music. He says very little and is not involved at
all. So what happens in this case scenario? Think about it.........The DJ
just plays music and the wedding is low key with very little dancing and NO
energy or enthusiasm. Is this really FUN? Did you really save the wedding,
or ruin it in a different way? How will your guests perceive your wedding?
Fun or boring? Think about it that way. You can't cancel out one negative
with and equal and proportional negative. |

If you
are a bride and groom that always wanted a low key reception and that is how
you wish to represent your event and theme, then having your entertainer be
in the background, low key and reserved is the right choice for you.
But...........If you want to hold back the DJ just because you had the life
scared out of you from a bad DJ experience at a friends wedding, that may be
a mistake. Not all DJs are the same, and not all DJs have the same talent
level as the DJs on my staff. I know this from 19 years in the business.
Talent and experience make the difference every time!
Save yourself the empty feeling you may experience on your wedding day for
not getting the perfect reception that fits you like a glove. Get a DJ that
will custom produce your wedding for you and by you. Music In Motion is a
“CUSTOM" wedding DJ service. Every bride and groom get a one-on-one sit down
pre-wedding planning session with their DJ. I personally oversee each couple
in setting up the planning and staging of their special day. We can get you
the wedding you want, without the fear of what happened at your friends
wedding. NEVER be influenced by a bad DJ experience. Be influenced by a
professional service that wishes to make your wedding day, a smashing
success! High energy or low key??? |
