I've been looking at old pictures online taken from our venue to get some ideas about room placement. It seems that the normal set-up for this place is to have the head table set up against the far wall (if looking at a floor plan, picture the "top" back wall in a rectangular shape room where width is more narrow than height) and for the DJ to set-up on that same back wall but in one of the two top corners. Dance floor is generally in the middle of the room with head table "above" and guest tables "below." In other words, the dance floor is in between the head table and the guest tables.
My FH thinks the DJ should go in the very back of the room ("bottom"- back wall- opposite the head table) so the DJ isn't visible in photos.
I'm thinking that it doesn't make sense to put the DJ on the opposite wall as the head table since the DJ will be behind where the guests are looking (assuming the guests are facing the head table and dance floor).
Should the DJ be able to be easily seen during the reception/dance time?
