[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]An iPod playlist for your wedding can work as a substitute for a live DJ.  The process needs some careful planning to ensure you create a playlist that has your guests dancing the whole night through.

Why choose an iPod Wedding Playlist?

Some people choose the iPod DJ option because it fits their budget. That is they don’t have the expense of a DJ to add to their every-growing wedding expenses. Other people make this selection because their reception is in a remote location where the local DJ just won’t do.

Here are our expert tips on creating a great wedding playlist for your iPod.

1. Understand your guests’ taste in music

We all have different taste in music however there are certain tracks that have a broad appeal and manage to cross the generations. Look at who is coming to the party then try to have a little something for everyone.  Don’t forget your grandparents – they like to dance too.

2. Design a playlist that flows

Your wedding playlist needs to have a rhythm to it.  Of course you’ll be starting off with your first dance, then slowly build up the tempo until you have everyone dancing to your favourite floor fillers. Most people like to end the night with a slow dance but that’s up to you.

3.  Be prepared with the right equipment

Use and iPod or a computer to play your music rather than an iPhone.   If someone rings the iPhone your music will cut out. Most venues have equipment to play iPods through their sound systems.  Your venue will be more than happy to help.

If you have a lot of people attending your wedding celebrations, you may need to hire in a PA system.  The more people you have the larger PA System required.

For outdoor weddings make sure you have a power source, extension cords, charger and PA system.  You can hire this equipment locally (do a search for “DJ equipment hire” in your location and you’ll find a local equipment hire company).  These companies often do delivery, set up and collection for you too.

4. Nominate an iPod monitor (this is important!)

Ideally the iPod needs to be locked away in another room! People see an iPod and instantly think they’re a DJ (especially after a few cocktails).  You’ve spent days putting together your carefully curated playlist then uncle Bob comes along and starts playing the Macarena or just something that doesn’t fit in with the groove of your night. Disaster! Of course you can wipe your iPod clean and simply have the wedding playlist on it.

Advice for Hiring a DJ for Wedding

Any DJ for weddings needs to have a large and varied music library and the ability to cover a cross section of wedding music scenarios.  They need to have patience and understanding when it comes to dealing with their clients, the bride and groom.  Weddings can be a stressful for those involved in organising the event.  It is part of a Wedding DJ’s role to keep their clients calm and reassure them all aspects of the wedding music are taken care of.

Wedding Music Selection

When selecting the wedding DJ music, the DJ should work with the bride and groom to understand who is attending the wedding reception and particularly focus on age range of the wedding guests.  There is no point playing super cool Ibiza hits when Grandma and Grandpa are expecting Duke Ellington to be swinging.  The aim of the game is to keep most of the guests happy and dancing most of the time.

Cheesy Wedding Music

To Cheese or Not to Cheese?

Okay, we have to admit that as much as we like to be the cool club DJs, in general terms a little cheese from the Wedding DJ works wonders at getting everyone on the dance floor.  It doesn’t have to be the Chicken Dance nor Kool & the Gang just tracks that resonate with your guests.  For older guests some 60s hits (the Kinks, Rolling Stones or Motown) will get things moving.   A London Wedding DJ playing for a bride and groom in their late 30s might focus on 90s and 00s club hits.  At the end of the day, it’s your party and you should choose whatever wedding DJ music makes you happy.  The DJ for your wedding should be flexible yet able to lend a guiding hand when it comes to the wedding music selection.

Summer is fast approaching which means it’s time to think about DJ hire for your summer party, event launch or wedding.

Summer is fast approaching which means it’s time to think about DJ hire for your summer party, event launch or wedding. Here are some useful points to consider when booking your DJ Agency or freelancer

Determine the best type of DJ hire for your event

Will you go through an agent, someone’s mate or hire a celebrity DJ?  A lot of this is determined by your budget.  Usually the “mobile disco” style DJ agency will give you value for money but will not give you the style and glamour of a cool club or celebrity DJ.

Requestion a consultation

This can be via telephone or in person.  It’s important that you have a good rapport with the DJ and understand that they will play the right kind of music for your event

Ask for a sample playlist

For successful DJ hire with no music misunderstandings, ask your DJ to put together sample playlist ideas for the event. We recommend submitting your own music ideas to give a clear understanding of what type of music you would like. In addition, It’s important for the DJ to unerstand the audience they’re playing for.

Check their Experience

Find out whether the DJ has experience for your type of event or party and do they play the type of music your guests want to listen to.

The Right Equipment

Is the DJ using a high quality, reliable PA system, decks and mixer to ensure the best possible sound for your party?
