There are many choices when choosing your reception entertainment for your wedding. You can go the route of having a live band or having a DJ.  Most opt for a DJ because they can play a variety of music and can easily take requests. Another question to ask your DJ is if they are comfortable Emceeing the entire event or if they do the bridal games such as the shoe game or dismiss tables by having them answer trivia questions about the couple or sing a love song.  These can be fun things but they are starting to get a little dated for some couples.  Don’t let huge speakers, flashy lights, and a fog machine take your eyes away from the personality of the DJ and his/her ability to provide quality over quantity.  Technology has changed and LED lights are smaller and produce less heat and the speakers are designed sleeker and produce better quality sound with less feedback that some older bigger speakers.  Plus what guest wants to be deaf by the end of the night from a DJ cranking up the music as loud as possible?  One popular thing in the DJ world currently is called quick mixing. This is where a DJ can start with one song and in the middle switch to a different song and then toward the end mix back into the original song. Sometimes they will add loops or speed up or slow down a music track as well.  This puts a fresh spin on the music you already love and a unique way to wow your guests!  The DJ that specializes in this locally is DJ Jeremy B, you can find him on social media with the handle @DJJEREMYB or at his website From a videographer’s perception we want to make sure that the DJ is a team player and is willing to give us an output from his system so we can capture quality toast audio content for the couples film, so be sure to let whatever DJ you choose that video is important to you and that 217 Films will need their assistance in capturing the best possible audio at the ceremony and/or reception.
