The uplights look great. The wash lights look great. The facade fit perfect with the style of the hall. It would be great to have the ceremony equipment in a rack. Speeds up setup. Left right speaker placement would be better than one for ceremonies. I would have placed the speakers behind any of the curtains near the front of the reception. Rais the moving head lights higher next time. Side fill would definitely work better with a hall that large or simply place the speakers closer to the dance floor area and away from you and get a monitor for yourself. It's not only the looks of the equipment but how it functions best. Spreading the speakers along that long wall or adding side fill speakers makes for a cleaner Ness forced sound system and fills the hall equally rather than blasting everyone I. The front row to compensate for people in the rear. Keep posting. Awesome work. Great content. Make every event better than the last.

Dope gig log man! You didnt have the lighting DMX, but the fading on the lighting looked great tho! For the moving heads, you could raise them up a bit as well, to not be covered by facade

Great job 1. Go outside introduce yourself and let the guest know what's about to take place. This might have reduced the content constant announcement to come in. 2. Engage with your audience a little. For example, let me hear this side of the room and let me hear the right side. Small interaction to try and build the excitement. 3. Always speak on the mic like it is a wedding. What I mean is that if you djing at surprise 50th speak as if it's a wedding. Clear and precise. This will prepare you for the more serious events. You were great. Going to middle of the dancefloor is crucial in getting good crowd attention.

def just bought 12 of these

I think you did a great job! Very similar to me. How can I get a hold of you for some questions I have.

is there something with more watts but has a remote? if so please comment a link. Thank you.

Thanks man I thought there was something wrong with my light. They should come stock with these washers

First thanks for the video and input. I wasn't going to comment but your last comment about Aesthetics (or the way something appears in the setting ex. a black stick with a mic on it in between the minister and the Bride wearing her 2 thousand dollar dress and Groom. Well here is my two cents . First you much Prioritize. You want the message to be heard. Therefore the minister must be heard. I have found that a Lapel is the first option. Now there are times you do not use the lapel... Outside in a windstorm. On this occasion, the minister used a hand held on a stand. (other ministers simply hold it under their Bible) While it doesn't look the best, go back to Priority TO BE HEARD. While the Lapel is used, it's usually no problem with the minister. Now during the vows, I have to Bump the channel up to pick up the Response to the Vows. The vows are usually very soft and heart felt. ( I could mic the groom but Not the bride due to Aesthetics ex a black dot on her White dress.) Here is where I always have my "Parachute", this was the term one minister gave the extra mic at the Altar. If there is unforeseen interference (ex. you set up early and no issues but later the videographer added a wireless transmitter without your knowledge and BAM) Simply hand the handheld parachute and everyone can hear. If the couple has their own prepared vows, the handheld is s MUST, Everyone wants/ Needs to hear these vows as they are Personal. The stories told, the jokes etc. I felt bad at having a black mic in the hands of a beautiful bride but I watched the Wedding of Luke Combs (Country Music Artist) and with all his money, there he was talking and singing to his bride at the altar with a handheld mic. Priority Being Heard. To Summarize: 1: Priority to be HEARD clearly 2: Lapel if possible, If Wind is an issue, consider a hand held with the minister. 3: If Personal Vows , Handheld is a very good option to be HEARD almost a must. It is a question a DJ must ask before doing the wedding so that they are prepared. 4: that Extra handheld "Parachute" is a Staple at my weddings and has saved me more than once. Again sorry to Ramble but it was the least I could do after you took the time for the video. I was curious as to the sound quality of the lapel. Michael aka DJ Older than Dirt haha

You have excellent raw MC skills, just practice at home and it'll be second nature to you

Nice setup I like it, but you don't have a subwoofer with you?

if you want an full range 2 way speaker with decend bass you need to buy an speaker with a wooden large body. But it will be heavier, you can't get a lot of bass with a light speaker, these are the laws of physics.

For the DJ Booth, try using the same Odyssey 33-36 Fold Stand Table that Peck uses. It’s clutch.

Great video! I still use a facade for my events. Clean setup 👌🏽

Looks great and I have a situation very soon where a friend is helping me out and I’m gonna use a similar hack so he has something to hide behind haha thanks for the video! Great job 👏

I actually just started using a facade past few gigs and have gotten compliments on my setup 😊

Very clear cut review/information. You should do more product vids like this! Earned a sub.

👍👍

I love my Phynex Microphones. Their range is insane but it depends on the venue. Remember when you are DJING a wedding you may have a 100 to 300 guest and 99% have cell phones that’s when you may run into problems. A wedding I did the Best Man went into another room because he was afraid to give his toast, I had no problems with the Microphone. It held out perfectly not one drop out.

the rockville totems work great for your lavish booth!! nice video!!!

The wedding reception I did this past weekend wanted each song for the bridesmaids and groomsman so had to mix for about 6 groups of 2 and the danced out and last was the mr and Mrs! Was badass I guess everyone is different in taste

Thank you will be trying this hack straight away. Quick question Do you know if there is a setting to scroll slowly through static colours on the WFX 2 in stand alone mode. Thanks from DJBREN Ireland 🇮🇪

I also think you did an awesome job. Continue working on taking command of the room, high energy, speaking clearly and loud. Great job Brother..🎉👍👍

@MrMaul38 do the IR4 remember the last setting they were on when you turned them off? This is an important feature to me. Thanks for the video.

Professional man, excellent all around. No one critiques DJs more than other DJs. Guests are just there to chill eat drink socialize and dance (sometimes not even dance lol) idk I’ve been blessed to have very easy going crowds and bridal parties over the years. I’ve gotten more and more comfortable talking regularly over the mic, casual sometimes comedic, sometimes unpredictable, just having fun, gives them some of my personality as a way to make personal connections with people. Great work man enjoy !

What RCF model of tops and subs did you use?

Long live a clean façade.

Wow! Great gig log.

Great job brother! I wish more people made logs like this! It’s just as much educational for us as it is for you! Only suggestion I have is always include the wedding couples name and find different ways of saying the same thing so it doesn’t come off repetitive. Maybe have the planner and/or other help bring people into the room so you don’t have to repeat yourself over and over again. Absolutely great job MCing btw!

Yes Shay! I was not prepared when you said you was doing a sangeet lol! But you killed it bro. Transitions were really nice! Uplighting made a big difference! They should have allowed you to dim the lights a little more though. And ah yes, the dreded never ending performances! I hate them with a passion but i guess it's the trend 😐. The booth situation, yeah i agree i think you should look into a podium "T" stand thing. It'll set it off and look really nice and crisp!

Fired video bro! You had this people turnt lol. Your mashups/ transitions were sick. I will get to that level one day 😉. I also really like the voice over you been doing lately. Keep it up and see you tomorrow on our live show!.

Your gig logs are getting better bro!! Keep up the good work! Thanks for the shout out and also linking my video about my 2Legit T-Style table. I do agree with you. If you replace your current table and scrim with something more sleek looking, that will make that facade behind you "pop" more. The black scrim doesn't really do that setup justice, imo. Love your Lavish booth! Wish you lived closer so you could put it on my T-Stand and see how that would look. I think it would look killer lol, but I know it's actually a lot of work that went into my table as you already know. Anyway, enjoyed your gig log brother!!

I usually introduce the "bridal party" . Here are your groomsmen and bridesmaids sounds clunky. Keep it up. Everything looks really professional and good that you are looking to learn. So many djs think they know it all and that's sad. I've been at for over 20 years and I'm still learning.

Excellent bro! We just recently did a two day Indian/Persian wedding that your video brought back vibes on! Great job!

I don't know if it's been asked but how did you mount your washlight to the speakers?

Nicely done. 👍🏿

Great gig log, bro! I love the voice-over style. I still use a facade at weddings. I personally think it still looks good, and I've never had any clients say otherwise. Keep rockin' them weddings!

Hi Shay! From an MC perspective, I stay away from the typical wedding cliches such as "ladies and gentlemen" or even "friends and family." Also stay away from "newlyweds" and "put your hands together" it sounds too formal and mechanical. I'll give you an example: "Good evening and welcome to Anecia and Blakes WEDDING RECEPTION (you build up your volume along the way) this also commands an applause without saying "put your hands together or let's give it up for..." so you can say less on the mic and everyone will still give an applause. When it comes to the wedding party for this video: "And now it's my pleasure to welcome the wedding party starting with the bridesmaids....(then they settle)...and now the groomsmen. Just a sample of a way you could change it up and maybe practice that and see how it works. Also, speak slower to the point to where if it sounds too slow, then you're doing it right. There's a lot of reverb in big spaces plus people are talking so it gives the guests time to catch up with what you're saying. So much more input I could give to help you but I'll just comment to this video in particular.

Bro, you are getting better on the mic! I love the growth. You are much more confident. My only thought about your setup are the moving heads. I wouldn’t use them at all if you can’t stabilize them high enough for dancing. Great video!

if you EVER get hired for a 90s style party but don't wanna get actual records, I would recommend a Numark CDMIX2. it is insanely easy to use and you can even have stutter options fpr CDs. sorry if im being a bit nerdy here 😁

As a fellow DJ, i think you need to work on some of your wording in announcements. I have to check myself often because like you, I also say “ladies and gentlemen” often lol. I heard you sat “make some noise” too more than once.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Great job, Thanks for sharing 👍

Very nice gig log, I use thise wash efx with the wolf mix dmx controller and. Donner dangles, easy to use, work with my uplights and moving heads also, look into it

Plastic table #1

Hey Shay! Nice gig log man, thanks for sharing. I always thought about the voiceover method, but then I think I’d never remember what to say if I don’t say it there and then lol. But still. nicely done. The facade thing - my events are different, people are expecting me to roll with several of my guys so having my guys around me is natural, and essential to manage requests and drunks. But for western events, if I had a nice stand like yours, I’d opt to place the facade behind me so the guys can chill back there, along with any rack systems, bags etc. It’s a nice clean look. But still, I’m glad you’re rocking with some help now, it makes a huge difference. And yes, when I’m doing entrances, I do wait for them the settle in and do their dancemoves, walking etc. It just allows them to have the focus time they’re wanting, which is the whole reason for an entrance, right? I think you’re timing looked good though! Your lighting came out nice! As you mentioned, those baby moving heads were too low, but no big deal I guess - You’ll remember for next time. When you’re looking to learn DMX, let me know if you need any help with it. As you know, I use a WMX1 and I could not recommend it enough! It’s a brilliant controller! But yes, when you’re ready, moving away from the ‘lights on top of speakers, attached to poles’ type of layout and have dedicated stands for the lights. It’ll make your setups appear much more professional, and spaced out nicely. Keep up the great work brother and I hope to see more gig logs!

Excellent job clean setup. What model of the jackery do you use?

Greatjob buddy! Setup looks very clean. Theres a lot of people out there that bash on the facade but then u look at some of their earlier videos and they used them too. I too have the face and furniture and it just depends on the situation you’ll be in. Great job, keep up the good work!

great video! which bag did you buy? the amazon listing has 11 options. was it the 6 par lights option?

Facade its better Its not about the dj

Great job Shay! I still use a facade and it works well for me!
