I went to a wedding today and the DJ sucked!!

Mrs. Turner- My food, cake and decor can suck but the DJ BETTER be good!!! (okay they really cant suck, Ill cry lol but still dj better know how to rock it!)

Ana...the food, cake and decor at this wedding was great but you know what...it wasn't enough...the DJ killed a good time!

Ugh! Poor bride (hope I didnt sound rude)

I got a preview of my DJ when he was hired for my aunt's 50th. I liked him so much I booked him for my wedding!

You should have pushed him outta the way and shown him how it was done girl... I know I would have...LOL

@Malinda! LOL...I prolly could've except the problem was he didn't have enogh song and didn't have internet to get any! I thought all DJs nowadays come prepared with internet in case they don't have a certain song.

OMG was he playin with an IPOD?? Jeeshhh

I was trying to explain the importance of a DJ to my brother... He's like 'Uh, I could push a button for free..." I was trying to tell him that's not all a DJ does blah blah blah. He didn't listen lol. But dang I didn't think DJs were so expensive! I mean, I know they're 'worth it' but I'm on a budget! I wish I had DJ friends =0(

And this is why I'm slightly terrified that I'm having a club DJ but I can't really afford anything more unless I get a boom box.

@Luta I am having a club DJ do my wedding too... just make sure to have a really in depth talk about what to play and what not to play. I am not scared at all I have been in the club plenty of times when he is spinning and he keeps the crowd moving all night.

@Mrs. Turner I feel really bad for the bride I know how a bad DJ can ruin a party.

That poor bride; I would have been devastated. I agree that DJ is very important.

@Luta...yes...I agree with MIA...make sre to have an in depth talk about what you expect from him. I felt so bad for the bride. I'm not sure if it was an Ipod wedding but it sucked and I think providing a music list is a must!! That way you'll at least know the DJ will have what you really want played.

Awwww poor bride :-( he def was having troubles reading the crowd. How sucky. That's another reason I love the reception music request on the ww website :-) I have gotten a lot of music requests I never would have thought of. Best one yet? My brother requested Emotions by Mariah Carey hahahahahhahaha total chick song to him ;-)

They sure can!!!! that soooo sucks!!!!

Thanks Debi!

The worst reception I attended, the DJ was from a club, and never performed at a wedding before. He had no clue what he was doing. Playing the wrong type of music at the wrong time, no formalities took place, no direction, he just didn't realize weddings are much different than clubs. Guests left right after dinner. Good club DJ though. That DJ was me 20 years ago. I look back now after 1,200 plus weddings with lots of training and education, I wish I could do that wedding over again. There was 300 guests. You wouldn't want a dentist performing heart surgery, don't have a club DJ do your wedding.

If you budget $15,000 for your wedding, at 5 hours for a ceremony & reception, that's $3,000 per hour. If your guests leave just one hour early because the entertainment was bad, you just lost $3,000.

Your reception is the entertainment part of your wedding where more money and time is spent. If you pay average price for your DJ, you get

an average reception. Quality costs more.

PMEDJ has a good point... lol. i hope my dj is great. hes not a real pro, he kinda just does it on the side. but hes not a club guy, he always does parties. hmmm....

I went to a wedding yesterday and the dj made us all say our own vows, "we had to vow to have the most fun that was humanly possible...." it was terrible I would be so angry if my dj did that. he also did the whole are we having fun yet thing that they do a pep rallies in HS and you just cheer so that you can get them to shut up. My FS and I created our own vows at that moment "we will make sure to not have a dj like this under any circumstances...". By the way some people like this, totaly understand but I don't need to be told that I have to have a good time.

When asked our priorities we always say ... GOOD music & good food! Music first because after a few drinks most of the guest will think everything taste fabulous! lol OPEN BAR!!! lol

I agree a DJ can make the wedding or break it!!!Poor bride I use to work at a dance club so my dj and music is the most important to us!
