I was honored when hosts Shannon Palmer and Kim Mills invited me to be a part of From Ring to Veil – their amazing series of Podcasts on wedding planning. Our topic was DJs and How to Hire Them. You can access it below.

Some of the things we covered:

Why does a couple need a wedding DJ
Why a wedding DJ instead of a band
How many hours are typically included
How does a DJ motivate a shy crowd to dance
Is it normal for a wedding DJ to plan the “setlist” with the couple
Can guests request songs
Do most DJs provide light and special effects
Does a DJ plan the reception timeline
How many meetings can a couple expect to have with their wedding DJ
Do DJs provide ALL sound equipment
Do DJs typically provide music for both the ceremony and reception
