To be a better “anything” takes stepping back and asking others for help. My goal to be a better DJ/MC is a work in progress. It goes back to the idea of "learning is a journey." To learn more about how to improve yourself; one needs to ask unbiased third parties their opinions. I asked local Fort Wayne photographers their opinions on several aspects of weddings where they work with DJ/MC’s to get their insights.
What is your (from the photographers standpoint) most important expectation of a DJ at a wedding?
Judy Gaulden of Photo Artistry by Judy feels that disc jockeys should “keep things moving in a timely manner” at weddings.
Dave Evans of Picture Perfect Photo said that “I expect the DJ to execute the plan that the Bride and Groom have worked out with the DJ, keeping us (photographers) informed as to what is happening. The DJ should be able to "read" the crowd and play the music that will keep the crowd on their feet while staying within the Bride's and Groom's expectations (music-wise)”.
Sara DeWitt of Regal Photography feels “that he [the DJ] shows direction at the reception and helps things run smoothly without any chaos or confusion.”
Communication and organization are key characteristics for DJ/MC’s to help the other professionals create memorable weddings. I have a few other key areas of feedback from these photographers that I will share in the next several entries. It is wonderful to learn from other people while (hopefully) assisting in making their job easier.
