Double the pleasure, double the fun ...

One of the questions we get asked on a daily basis is why we suggest two DJs for each event. It may seem like a bit much to you. You might wonder, can't one person do it? And that’s a great question. So whether it’s our competition saying that you don’t need two DJs or it is your own instinct, we want to show you why having two DJs at your event can be a huge advantage.

I would imagine that many of you have only been to a handful of weddings, and since most of the people that we talk to have had poor experiences with DJs, I would be willing to bet that most of those weddings were just OK in the entertainment department. But the ones that were really good, I'd be willing to bet there were two DJs. So, why does that matter?

We have done a little shy of 2000 weddings as a company. And with all of that experience, we have learned how to make your event the best it can be. And the easiest way to do that is to have two DJs there.

Let’s take the wedding that I did on July 3rd as an example.This wedding would have been tough to do on my own if I didn’t have another person with me to:
-Gather the missing bridal party members to be lined up
-Control the music while I was lining up the 15 person bridal party for introductions

-Adjust the volume for introductions, toasts, the blessing, and the music, since our system was set up in another room
-Monitor the volume so guests weren’t blown away
-Handle the extraordinary amount of song requests that came in while I was mixing (we do beatmix almost every single song)
-Coordinate with the maitre d, photographer, videographer, fireworks company, parents of the bride and groom, the bride and groom and appropriate guests to make sure everything happened when it was supposed to

Now, this might not seem like a lot, but you have to trust me on this. One of the main reasons we have two DJs on your event, is for every reason I can’t tell you right now, but will be able to tell you 10 seconds after your wedding is over. Not only does that second DJ help with coordinating the evening and making sure everything runs smoothly, but their presence and help on everything mentioned above buys you and your gusts more dancing time.

You see, my job is to manage about 15 different things at once. Number one, I have to pack your dance floor. I have to think of the perfect song to play next to keep everyone out there. That by itself takes concentration. Then I actually have to mix it. That requires talent and skill, as well as focus. I only have about 1-2 minutes to do all that, and that happens about 50 times in two hours. Now add into the mix the guests wanting to make a request, the itinerary that needs to be adhered to, the maitre d who needs us to make an announcement and the bride and groom who need you to do something right away. Then all of a sudden dad wants to talk to you about a song he really wants to hear. Wow! All that in as little as 5-10 minutes. Ask any DJ that has done 100 weddings and he or she will tell you that this happens all of the time.

Imagine one person doing all of that, it's a lot of pressure. Now, we are certainly not saying that it cannot be done - it certainly can - we do it, but we much prefer to have two DJs on each event. A two person team allows things to run much more smoothly. It allows us to do more then just DJ. It allows us to make the event better by doing the little things -something as small as taking 5 minutes to talk to dad about this special song and how important it is. Having another DJ there means I can talk to him without worrying about the music and losing people on the dance floor because the other DJ has that under control. Or maybe something as small as making sure the grooms mom is ready to go by the dance floor when we announce the mother son dance, so we aren’t all waiting and wondering were she is. Or having the time to hunt down the toss bouquet - you know, the one that was left upstairs in the bridal suite that was specifically made to be tossed. I could go on and on, but you get the point.

The most important thing to us is that everything is perfect for you. When there are 47 things being thrown at us and we are being pulled in 5 different directions at once, it is up to us to manage it all. And we will. And you can bet that with two people at your reception, we will get it done and get it done with a packed dance floor.
