I've been DJng forever at clubs & weddings. The club is straight dancing from 9pm-2am, 5 hrs straight. I always felt that my job was to take the party thru a musical journey. Club and weddings are very different. For any event, when the dancefloor is packed and rockin, you have to keep them there with the bangers which is easy. But when there is a lull, that's what will separate the men from the boys. Nick is spot on about reading the crowd. You have to gauge how engaged the crowd is. You have to keep assessing and planning ahead. My goal during sets is to get the old people up. If I see them bopping their head to oldies, I'll throw is some classics and I get them dancing. A way that works for me when there is a lull is to play a very popular song that everyone knows, maybe a line dancing song just to get them back and then from there play a couple more bangers to get more people. Sprinkle in some good dance songs & hit em with more bangers. Eventually you'll get that floor packed again. Takes a lot of patience, and you have to know how to pace yourself and balance the music with the old and young crowd.

Most of my weddings start at either 3-4pm then they have cocktail right after the ceremony. Which is generally 1hr 30mins to 2hrs Then grand entrance happens usually 15-20 mins before dinner. Then usually go into there first dance, father daughter dance then mother son. Sometimes do a dance for the bridal party or we just got right into dancing. Most of the time my dance floor starts at 8pm and I go to 1am

Dude I love this video! I love the playlist breakdown too. I always get nervous at weddings to lose the floor, but it’s so true there may be other factors against you with cornhole, maybe the dance floor is far away from the tables, you name it. It’s encouraging to hear a big dude like you say it’s okay to have lulls and ride the wave instead of trying to force it. Thanks so much for making this!
@SeaJayMalm7 ай бұрын
💯 🎯 … I’ve had mentors let me take their controls, and then immediately panic yell “you’re losing them, look out” and then shove me out of the booth and smash cut to Pitbull or a line dance. And I’ve also had couples who failed to tell me that most of their guests will be 50+ and don’t care about dancing. So when a 10:30 end time becomes a 9:45 tap on the shoulder while the house lights come up, it makes you want to sell your gear the next day, because you feel like a doctor that just lost a patient to a broken finger. But then the couple comes up hugging you and says you were perfect and they can’t thank you enough. It’s like, did we attend the same event?! 🥲 But yeah, it’s just that we’ve been brainwashed with the rockstar mindset that if we’re not getting ALL of the enthusiastic attention from EVERYONE the WHOLE time, it must be that we suck as performers. Not the case. We just have a different role at every event. And it’s important that we recognize that role and do it to the best of our ability; not try to make the event something that it’s not.
@kristopherdetar43462 ай бұрын
@@SeaJayMalmyou are correct saying you feel like you lost the patient but then afterwards a dozen or so people thank you for an amazing event. I have come to realize the majority of people will not dance if little to zero alcohol is being served. People are insecure about dancing period. Clubs and weddings where alcohol flows like a river is when the dance floor gets filled up and stays that way for 20 to 45 mins then dies down regardless of what music is playing. Once they get rested and fueled up with more alcohol does the floor fill up again. It truly is a strange and unpredictable phenomenon.

And this is why I trust your advice almost implicitly. Because you’re realistic and offer rational tips instead of emotionally-charged reactions. DJing a wedding is like driving in the snow. Everyone thinks the key is to set yourself up so you’ll never lose control. And that’s why DJs hit the panic button the second a crowd starts to lull. They’re already anticipating the pain of a crash, instead of using proper technique to lean into it and course correct. And just like when you jerk the wheel and slam on the brakes on a patch of black ice… it’s now a self-fulfilling prophecy. And that’s why I talk about this stuff with couples ahead of time. How many people will be there? What’s the demographic? How many do you expect to dance and for how long? It’s like checking the weather forecast before you leave the house, so you’re already driving for the elements and are prepared to adjust when - not if - things get dicey.

Iam from Czech Republick EU And usually we start at 11 am with ceremony, playing whole time until 5 pm when people start dancing and we ends ať 3 am. If whole wedding will be only 5 hours, it will be like holiday 😀

I absolutely agree with you I call it pockets of dancing. It won't be in exactly like a club do to the demographic and the fact they have been there since ceremony. Just like Nick says in his videos it'll be moments where there's not that many people but just keep mixing your ass off
