From Cold Sparks to Crowd Reading: The Lost Art of Real DJing in Weddings

As a bride-to-be, you want your wedding reception to be a night to remember, filled with music that gets your guests on the dance floor and keeps them there. But with so many DJs out there, how do you know which one to choose? And what exactly should you be looking for when it comes to a great wedding DJ?

Many wedding DJs today focus on the latest gear and special effects, like cold sparks, and dry ice machines that create the dancing on a cloud effect, even rambunctious emcees. While these can be great additions to your event, they're not what make a great DJ. The lost art of real DJing is often overlooked in favor of flashy extras.

Real DJing involves much more than just pressing play on a playlist. It's about reading the crowd and knowing what songs will get them moving. It's about mixing seamlessly from one song to the next to keep the energy high. It's about creating a musical journey that takes your guests on a ride.

Unfortunately, some DJs prioritize their equipment and special effects over their DJing skills. They may have all the latest gear, but the dance floor is empty for large parts of the reception or the dancing is choppy and inconsistent. This is because they're not focusing on the most important part of their job: keeping the party going.

It's also important to remember that no matter how advanced technology becomes, it can never replace the value of a human DJ. While Spotify may be a convenient option for creating a playlist, it can't read the crowd and adjust the music on the fly to keep the party going.

So what should you look for in a great wedding DJ? Look for someone who prioritizes their DJing skills above all else. Someone who can mix seamlessly and read the crowd to keep the energy high. Someone who knows how to create a musical journey that takes your guests on a ride.

Don't be swayed by flashy extras that may look great on Instagram but won't make a difference in the success of your wedding reception. Instead, choose a DJ who has the real DJing skills to make your night one to remember.
