10 Quick Tips to DJ Your Own Wedding – Part 3

by Aleisha September 29, 2017
written by Aleisha

Hello fellow Bridechillas! Are you ready to DJ your own wedding? This is Brandon Stiles again, founder of Atlanta wedding DJ company Uptown Down Entertainment with the 3rd and final installment of ‘10 Quick Tips to DJ Your Own Wedding’.

Did you miss Parts One and Two? Go check those out first!

Part One

Part Two

In this final section, we’re going to go over how to set up your sound system, how to prepare your MC (or yourself) to revive a dying dance floor, as well as cover some key elements to keep in mind if things start going wrong.

 STEP 7: SETUP THE SOUND SYSTEM

Setting up a simple sound system like the one we’ll be using to DJ our wedding is not tough! It’s essentially going to be two speakers on a pole, a microphone and stand, and a way to hook your phone/laptop up to the speakers.

Remember, plug everything in FIRST before turning anything on- that way you’ll avoid any loud pops (which can damage the equipment). Also, make sure everything is turned down to zero before turning the system on- that way you can raise everything to the proper listening level and not risk blowing out your eardrums!

Finally, once you have a song playing, stand at the back of the room furthest from the speakers and check on the volume- if it’s at the level you want it, go a LITTLE bit louder; once people start filtering in, their clothes/bodies will absorb some of the sound, so you’ll want to go with a little more volume to make up for that.

STEP 8: HAVE SOME MC TRICKS READY

What happens if your dance floor starts to die down a little bit? Maybe one of the songs you played just didn’t connect like you thought it would, or a slow dance cleared the floor.

In my book “How to DJ Your Own Wedding”, I go over what I call ‘CPR Songs’- these are a list of songs I have that, when played, do an amazing job of bringing people back to the hardwood. A great one is ‘The Wobble’- put that one on, and you’ll have a resurgence!

These songs are usually popular group-dance songs or song with singable lyrics.

Either way, have a few tricks up your sleeve that will get people revitalized and back out to dance with you!

STEP 9: PLAY THE TUNES IN THE RIGHT ORDER

This is where having the benefit of an experiences DJ comes in handy- having an inkling for which songs to play in what order is what most people call ‘reading the room’.

However, YOU can do this too with just a little guidance and information. If you’re a bride or groom, you obviously don’t want to be standing at the laptop station all night, picking songs- this is why I recommend having a friend or acquaintance MC.

But if you don’t have one, there are a number of different ways to maximize your chances of playing to the room.

One way is to order your playlist by decade- start the night off with 60s and 70s (disco or something similar)- this way your older audience is engaged. It also happens that a TON of sing-a-longs were popular in the 70s, so even young people are able to connect to these tunes. Then when the night gets later and the newer songs start (new hip-hop or Top 40), the older crowd is probably on their way out, and your close friends are sticking around (so you’ll know exactly what songs to play then because you know them a lot better).

STEP 10: RELAX AND ENJOY THE NIGHT- YOU’RE MARRIED!

This is more of a mentality than a ‘step’, but it’s extremely necessary to remember: relax and enjoy your Wedding Day! The good, the amazing… and the technical difficulties.

I’ve performed at hundreds of weddings, and while there have been many little problems here and there, I’ve never ever seen one that ‘ruined’ the day; people usually end up looking back and laughing at the problems that they thought were huge deals when they happened.

Receptions are actually pretty free-flowing and easy! Once you get past the beginning dances and the toasts (the more formal parts), the rest is almost improvised as you go along.

So when you want to DJ your own wedding, just know a few things are going to go a little wrong- it’s almost unavoidable - but just roll with those punches and enjoy the day where all your friends are coming together to celebrate YOU guys!

10 Quick Tips to DJ Your Own Wedding: Part 2

10 Tips to DJ Your Own Wedding Part 2 | The Bridechilla Blog | Guest Post by Brandon Stiles of howtodjyourownwedding.com

Hello fellow Bridechillas! My name is Brandon Stiles, and I’m the founder of an entertainment company based out of Atlanta, GA called Uptown Down Entertainment. In a nutshell, we provide wedding DJs and live bands for weddings. However, I’m ALSO a teacher, and today I’m going to teach you how to save a little money and successfully DJ your own wedding.

This is the second of three parts of a short series on tips to DJ’ing your own wedding. Using these points, you can cut the learning curve way down and really save a ton of money!

Haven't read part one yet? Check it out here: Part One.

I also have a site www.howtodjyourownwedding.com that can give you even more resources to DJ your own wedding, as well as a complete, step-by-step walkthrough on how to DJ your own wedding, from putting together playlists to structuring the flow of your day.

STEP 4: OUTLINING THE FLOW OF YOUR WEDDING DAY

This is one of the steps that most brides and grooms stress about the most- how to structure the flow of their wedding day.

While every wedding will be different, there are a few constants in almost every Big Day schedule that you can use as an outline to help cut down on the worry of having ‘left something out.’

With most weddings, there are three main events: the ceremony, the cocktail hour, and the reception.


Most ceremonies will have 3-5 songs played:
  1. The music playing when people are coming in and getting seated
  2. The parent/grandparent seating music
  3. The bridal party entrance
  4. The bridal entrance
  5. The recessional

So you know you’ll have to come up with about 3-5 songs to fill that out.


Next is the cocktail hour.

Here you’ll need about 45-60 minutes of music to fill, usually acting as background music so song choice isn’t as important here. With most songs lasting around 3 minutes, if you pick 25-30 songs for a cocktail hour playlist, you should be golden. Just turn the iPod on and let it play!


Finally the reception, usually 3-4 hours, with an average of 3-4 special songs to be played:
  1. The First Dance
  2. Father-Daughter Dance
  3. Mother-Son Dance
  4. Cake Cutting Song (optional)
  5. Special Exit Song (optional)

On top of that, using our formula above of “3 minutes per song”, you’ll need about 25 songs an hour (to be safe), or 100-120 songs for the whole reception. That amount will give you plenty of leeway as well so you won’t run out.

STEP 5: SET UP SPOTIFY/ITUNES PLAYLIST

When all those songs are loaded into playlists (usually on Spotify, Apple Music or some similar streaming service), you need to set up your playlists.

For the ceremony and reception, I recommend putting the special songs in the order you want them played so your MC can easily switch between them. For the cocktail hour, you’re totally fine to just put it on shuffle and let it play!

Finally, you’ll want to set up your streaming app to ‘crossfade’ songs, meaning one will start fading in while the other one fades out. By doing this, you won’t have any weird seconds of silence between songs, and it will keep the wedding flowing. I usually set my crossfade to about 8 seconds, and it works wonderfully!

I also strongly recommend downloading all the playlists to your phone/laptop. If you get to the venue and it has weak or (even more commonly) NO Wifi…. You’re pretty much out of luck!

 STEP 6: PERFORM A PRE-WEDDING CHECK

The night before the wedding, do a pre-night ‘sound check’. Make sure you’ve got all the cables you need, all the elements to the sound system you need (which I cover in the book on howtodjyourownwedding.com), and even go through the process of setting it up- it will probably only take about 30 minutes, and you’ll know how to do it for the next day when stress levels will be higher.

Also check that all your phones/laptops/chargers are in good working order, and have the songs pre-downloaded to them.

Now you know you’ll be good to go and will have one less thing on your mind for your Big Day.

274- How to Fill the Dance Floor At Your Wedding

by Aleisha June 26, 2017
written by Aleisha

We've all been to events and weddings that on paper should have the most amazing dancing vibes, but when the music starts, that dance floor is deader than a nightclub at 7 pm.The DJ tries their best; there's always the lone enthusiastic drunk guest swaying on their own who yells at the other guests to join them, 'DANCE...WHY AREN'T YOU ALL DANCING?'

It's a real pickle. So, to help ensure that your wedding reception dance floor is filled with booty shaking, guests, making shapes and reaching for the lasers I have invited DJ Andrew McClelland (a very fine party DJ) to share with us his best dance floor fillers and regale us with some of his best wedding DJ stories.

Andrew's played thousands of gigs at events, awards ceremonies, clubs and weddings all over the world. Andrew is the sort of DJ you should hire for your wedding because he listens to a huge amount of different music and plays for the crowd.He DJs. He Dances. He MCs and he is an award-winning comedian. You won't be disappointed with this episode of the show.

DJ Andrew McClelland's Best Dance Floor Filler Recommendations.

Although these can change from country to country and crowd to crowd here are some songs which are nigh infallible on wedding dance floors. If you know your crowd you can get much more creative than this, but the classics remain;

I’m a Believer - The Monkees

A cracking tune by an unfairly underrated 60s boy band, young people know this because of Shrek, older people know it because they were there, Neil Diamond fans know it because he wrote it. This can get almost any dance floor going and thematically it’s right on point.

Crazy in Love - Beyonce

A number one hit known by all, this song has nigh everything; a massive, fat horn section, and banging Motown beat, a cracking dance routine that some in your crowd may know, a big joyous crescendo and it’s a duet by a married couple about being madly in love. You can even find a version without Jay Z’s rap section if you find that distracting. It may not get everyone on the floor, but anyone under 40 or over 12 will go mad for it, and that’s enough for a good floor.

You Make My Dreams Come True - Hall and Oates

What’s not to love about this 80s classic? It’s got a great regular beat, cracking melody and everyone at least kinda remembers it enough to dance to it. And who doesn’t like the 80s?

Can’t Stop the Feeling - Justin Timberlake

The kids know it cos it’s from some kids movie, the millennials know it cos it JT, the oldies may not know it, but it’s funky as all get out and has some sweet late disco sounds in it too and the chorus comes back so often that by the end of your first listening you can sing along. So yeah, what’s not to like? Nothing. Shake your ass!

Valerie (version) - Amy Winehouse

Oldies like it because it sounds like an old track, youngies like it because it isn’t. This track is often a bit of a surprise for many people as it’s not too overplayed, but if you already know it you get to feel vindicated for knowing a slightly alternative banger, and if you don’t know it the hard soul beat will get you dancing anyhow. Pair it with The Supremes version of ‘You Can’t Hurry Love’ and you’ve got an inter-generational smash on your hands.

There’s thousands more d-floor killers of course. US crowds dig a little more hip-hop and R&B, UK crowds like their indie, soul and rock a bit more and New Zealanders are charmingly supportive of their local scene, but wherever you go weddings are about joy and so is dancing, so throw yourself on to the floor and get a DJ who loves it too.

dance floor

Potentially Inappropriate (Dark) Songs To Leave Off The List

There is no dissing these songs they're all great and popular in their own way but as we talk about in the episode, some songs have strong themes, or murder, rape and general nastiness and perhaps are a little debbie downer for a first dance- saying that, you are a Bridechilla and you can do whatever the hell you want!

I still haven't found what I am looking for- U2

I mean this feels a little obvious but perhaps leave Bono and his mates looking for someone until the after party?

Delilah- Tom Jones
Again, another song that our parent all seem to love but where he stabs his girlfriend to death in a fit of jealousy. Happy Days!

Smack my Bitch up- The Prodigy
Again as a method of remembering mind raving from the 90s= great 
At a wedding= risky. 

Suspicious Minds - Elvis Presley
As much as I bloody adore this song, there are probably more romantic, less 'I'm suspicious of your wandering eyes' songs to Elvis songs to gyrate to on your wedding day. 

D-I-V-O-R-C-E - Tammy Wynette
Love you Tammy but, I mean come on.

Closer- Nine Inch Nails

You let me violate you
You let me desecrate you
You let me penetrate you
....oh and also the bit where he says 'I want to fuck you like an animal. 

Mack the Knife- Frank Sinatra- Bobby Darin

We love some crooning! Just remember this one is all about a criminal murderous pimp who likes some stabby stabby. 

Gold Digger - Kanye West
Think this one is pretty self-explanatory.  

Love Will Tear Us Apart - Joy Division
And ambitions are low
And the resentment rides high
But emotions wont grow
And were changing our ways,
Taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart again
Nuff said yeah?

Better Man - Pearl Jam

But if you could find a better man, you might not be with this man today, yes?

Bitter Sweet Symphony- The Verve
A song about the feeling of being trapped and powerless to change your behavior or your life due to circumstances beyond your control...happy wedding!

10 Quick Tips to DJ’ing Your Own Wedding: Part 1

by Aleisha June 21, 2017
written by Aleisha

Hello, fellow Bridechillas! My name is Brandon Stiles, and I'm the founder of an entertainment company based out of Atlanta, GA, Uptown Down Entertainment. We provide DJs and live bands for weddings, but we understand that not everyone has the budget to hire live entertainment, so in this three-part series, I'm going to share my top tips to save you a little money by DJ'ing your own wedding.

You will learn

  • How to put together awesome playlists that will appeal to you and your guests (yes, even the picky music-people of the world).
  • Where to rent a sound system and what gear to add to your list.
  • How to find a great MC, and most importantly: how to keep your guests dancing, and have a super fun, super smooth night.

I've DJ'd hundreds of weddings over the years, and when it comes to the topic of DJ'ing your own wedding, you'll find a lot of naysayers:
"You can't DJ your own wedding! DJs have years of experience reading a room!"
"I've never seen anyone successfully DJ their own wedding… it just ends up being a huge mess, and no one has fun!"

And while it's true that most DJs can read a room and have a good idea of what to do next, and know how to smooth out performances (and wedding days), this is not some sort of magic gift we've been given- it's just the product of DOING it over and over. It's nothing that can't be learned, and more importantly, nothing that can't be taught. With all that in mind, we're starting a new 3-part series, where I'll teach you 10 simple steps to DJ your own wedding. Let's dive in!

DJ

STEP 1: PUT TOGETHER AN AWESOME PLAYLIST

The most important step and really can make or break a wedding reception.Before we get into some tips on how to do this, I want to speak to the self-professed ‘music snobs' here, not that there's anything wrong with being an indie aficionado BUT… if you want people to dance and party at your reception, playing a deep cut off of the Indie Album of the Year will never pack out a dance floor like a trusty ole Backstreet Boys tune.It's science!

  • Figure out the number of songs you'll need. I usually plan on playing about 30 songs an hour- around 2 minutes a song to keep people from getting bored. Knowing that, a simple math calculation will reveal that you'll need between 120-150 songs for a 4-hour reception.
  • This is a key point that most people neglect. Build your playlist with your guests in mind.Yes, it is YOUR day, BUT… people aren't going to force themselves to dance out of obligation; if the music doesn't get them moving, my experience is that they're perfectly content to sit at the tables and just talk.Ask yourself, who are your guests? Are they younger 20-somethings who love 90s pop? Or older guests who have a taste for Sinatra and Dean Martin? Start putting together your playlist based on those preferences- majority rules here, folks!
  • Pick songs from all generations, from the 1950s onwards, this will give your reception playlist a wider appeal, especially to the older crowd.When I first started DJ'ing, I would pick out the Top 10 most popular songs from each decade and use that as my starting point.If you'd like a full list of songs to play, I've put together a list of 120 great wedding dance songs here. 
DJ

STEP 2: RENT A SOUND SYSTEM

So we've got your playlist coming together- now you'll have to figure out how to play it! But where does one get a sound system, and how much ‘sound' is enough?

To answer the first question, my recommendations are Guitar Center or Sam Ash. Both companies have international locations and will provide good quality systems for pretty low prices, usually well under $100 a day! If they don't have a location near you, I would advise looking at small, independent music shops, who will rent you a simple PA system that will get the job done.

In terms of how big of a system you need, I recommend what I call the BMS: Bare Minimum System (many hours went into crafting that name!).

Your wedding reception BMS will consist of

  • Two 12" speakers on speaker poles (I use the QSC K12s, which are also what most Guitar Centers rent to you)
  • a microphone with stand-a music player (iPod or laptop)
  • Cables that hook them all together.

That's it! That will be sufficient even for the biggest weddings in large venues.

You don't NEED a mixer or exotic connection cables. With most modern sound systems, two 12" speakers will be PLENTY to move all the air you'll want to move, and after that, you'll just need a microphone (for speeches/toasts/announcements) and a music player to play your tunes!

DJ

STEP 3: FIND YOUR MC

Your next step is to find a friend (or a friend of a friend) to MC the reception.Remember, an MC is pretty much a second coordinator. Yes, they usually specialise in getting a crowd up and moving, but they also work in close contact with the actual wedding coordinator to make sure people are where they need to be, as well as ensure that your wedding day flows smoothly.Want to know something MCs are NOT? Hard to find. You don't need to go out and find someone who has a degree in "MC'ing" with years of experience on their resume- you just need someone who's not afraid of public speaking, is comfortable talking into a microphone and does a good job of keeping things organized.

Who's your funniest and most organized friend? If two different people come to mind, maybe they can tag team it!

The only two qualifications you'll want to consider- who's someone you can trust to keep your wedding day schedule moving and flowing, and can work with a coordinator to move it along? Remember, the term means ‘Master of Ceremonies'- an official-sounding title to be sure, but it's just a person that can keep things moving and encourage people to join in the celebration.

DJ

That brings us to the end of Part 1 in our new series. Next time we'll be going over outlining the flow of your Wedding Day to ensure it goes smoothly, how to create a 'night before' checklist to make sure everything is ready to go, and how to setup iTunes or Spotify to 'auto-mix' your playlist!

269- Shaping The Party With Wedding Entertainment

by Aleisha May 22, 2017
written by Aleisha

Like putting off thinking about and writing wedding vows (we'll do it closer to the wedding...), planning your wedding music and entertainment can often be left as an afterthought when it comes to levels of priority on the ever expanding wedding 'to do' list.
Sure, you might pick a band or a DJ, perhaps will email you a playlist template or a song-list for you to peruse but for many of us the prospect of sitting long enough to focus and actually go through and process these suggestions and thinking about the creation of a soundscape is the last thing on our minds 3-6 months before the big day BUT in fact for many couples, these choices will be a huge factor to shape your day

Listen to Episode 269 of The Bridechilla Podcast

Chose the right music and an amazing party will follow

I am hoping that this episode's guest, Andy Kushner, from Andy Kushner Entertainment Design, will convince you that your music and entertainment choices should be considered with as much forethought and gusto as catering and your venue, as chosen wisely, it will transform a wedding into an unforgettable event.

Andy is going to help us get our shit together when it comes to shaping our vision for the day, in particular using live bands and interactive wedding entertainment to the mood and atmosphere that you envisage. 

Consider the stages of your wedding and work your music choices around them, from ceremony to goodbyes

Part of the magic of wedding planning, no matter what budget, is giving yourself permission to inject YOUR personality and creativity in your music and entertainment design, while also finding the sweet spot for your guests to dance, mingle and if you so choose, rock the heck out!

Creating atmosphere isn't just about decoration and visual aesthetics, it's also about setting a tone with lighting and music.

How to make an impact with your wedding music

Like your wedding invitations (which are the first opportunity to set the tone and vibe for your big day) when guests first enter your ceremony space, it is the first opportunity for you to convey what is coming up and set the event apart from every other wedding that your people have attended. Whether you have a friend working an ipod or a string quartet, think about what sort of music you want people to hear while they take their seats. Is it fun and jaunty? Serious and sombre (hope not!), sassy and upbeat? 

Feel the room but take risks

Of course the venue itself should be considered. You probably aren't playing Drake in a church...although perhaps if it's a 'cool' church then ask what they are happy with you playing. One of my recent favourite albums has been Westworld Soundtrack, which has a bunch of cover versions of modern songs, song in a ye-olde way that I think would really work as wedding background music....the sort of songs that make people go 'Is that Black Hole Sun played on a pianola?' 

In the episode I mention hearing about a fabulous wedding that included some very lateral music choices that totally shaped the tone and vibe of their wedding day...

We made a point of setting a silly tone for it (we walked down the aisle together to the Seinfeld theme), and ended the night with what was supposed to be a group sing-along to “My Heart Will Go On,” which turned into an interpretive dance by Wayland and me in the middle of a circle of people, and it was one of the most fun moments of my life.


Read more about Katie and Wayland's wedding as featured on A Practical Wedding... it sounded like a total blast.

Trusting your vendors

The difference between a good event and a great entertainment experience is in the details – lots of them.

There's a lot of trust that comes into play when with hiring the right people to help you plan your wedding.

I often share advice on the Bridechilla Podcast about finding the balance between trusting your vendors to do their work without  you having to monitor and give feedback on every task and but also feeling comfortable enough to share your goals and ask about progress and directions without being hesitant or shy. When it comes to entertainment and music choices, this is something that I encourage you to be actively involved in without it taking over your life. 

Get Creative With Your Music choices

As an Entertainment Designer, my work begins well in advance of the event to make sure I understand the host’s vision, goals, needs, and purpose. I create one-of-a-kind concepts for my clients to make events unlike any other they have previously experienced—true customization.

Andy shares some great anecdotes about the extreme opposites when it comes to music choices. Some couples are very lax with their music choices and other couples can be overly obsessed with details, creating long ‘do not play lists’…songs that don’t want to hear on their day. Like all aspects of wedding planning, balance is the key and also working with people who you can hand over tasks and decision to...to some extent. 

Andy is using his knowledge of the wedding industry to launch his very own podcast, The Wedding Biz, which features interviews with event industry celebrities.
