Why  “The Wedding DJ”  is a Grenville Wedding DJ

I am 43 years old and I entertained at my first wedding for a friend when I was 16 years old.  My friend and his groomsmen made up a flash mob dance for the reception and I provided the music. I was hooked. I continued to do parties and whatever I could get throughout the years and had gotten away somewhat from weddings and receptions. Several years ago another friend told me that at her wedding the DJ that she had hired did not meet her expectations. She commented on how he played inappropriate music and did not do much else.

I created “The Wedding DJ” to provide better service to the wedding industry. I strive at knowing the music I play so that the language is appropriate for a reception. It’s not as easy as it sounds as some “clean” versions of popular songs sometimes contain inappropriate language and topics. In addition I began to coordinate with the other vendors to make sure that everything was as it should be. For instance, I constantly check with the photographer to make sure neither that myself nor my equipment or wiring is in their way. I also work closely with wedding planners and coordinators to ensure that the reception follows a smooth but fun time line. At most receptions, there is not a coordinator so I try to fill those shoes by making sure that all of the traditional tasks are completed such as the bouquet toss and cake cutting. I emcee each task and consult with the other vendors to ensure that the food is ready to be served and the photographer is in place to preserve memories before making any announcement.

I chose to write about this in my blog today because something awesome happened at a recent wedding which reminded me of why I am in this business. During the father / Daughter dance I could see that the Bride’s father was whispering something in her ear and then she began to cry. I am a big and somewhat tough guy but I about lost it. A sudden realization came over me that I am a Greenville Wedding DJ because I love it! I get to share in the most special day of people’s lives and there is no drug or amount of money that can replace that. I wish I could afford to do this for free.

So I must say thank you to my friend and I am sorry that I was unable to be at your wedding and reception. I feel as though I missed out and wasn’t there for you.
