A new Idea for Weddings

Get out of the same old routine

I have always believed the only way to improve your disc jockey performance is to continually look for new ideas to incorporate into your routine. It may be a song or an activity you know other DJs use. If you haven’t tried it, my advice is to steal it and use it!

I recently attended a wedding as a guest. Their DJ, who, in my estimation, appeared about as interested in making this event a memorable one as the valet parking attendant. Although the night wreaked of lackluster intros, and very little mic work, his ONE activity proved to be the highlight of the evening. Here’s how it went:

Soon after the bridal party intros, the grace and toast the guests began their incessant clanging of water glasses with spoons trying in an effort to get the wedding couple to kiss. The DJ Kindly requested the guests try something different to persuade the kissing. He invited them by table to stand and sing a few bars of ANY song containing the word”LOVE”; It was this “magic word” that would get the bride and groom to kiss.

At first there were no volunteers. Then suddenly a group of teenagers stood up, asked everyone for their attention, And Belted out the Barney “I Love You” song. Soon after this almost every table followed their lead singing “Love and Marriage”, Can’t help falling in Love, and even Crazy in Love. Sure enough, the bride and groom cooperated and kissed after each song!

The idea is a great way to put a new twist on an old tradition and get people to relax and enjoy the party. Try it!
