The disc jockey has become an integral part of the modern wedding ceremony and reception. Without the critical skills a Wedding DJ brings to your Sonoma event, most agree that a wedding can seem underwhelming. They direct the action, plan the music, and get all the attendees out to the dance floor… they basically control and motivate the room.

Preparation Above All Else

To make sure your Sonoma wedding reception runs without a hitch, the DJ has to equip themselves with the tools and knowledge to assemble a collection of songs that will be relevant to you, play them with personality, and keep the guests entertained and interested.  That all starts with careful planning.

When you first meet your California Non Stop DJ, they’ll ask you some questions to pin down your musical tastes, and invite you to select songs that you’ll want to hear. They’ll ask about the venue and might even coordinate with them directly to gather more information.

Once they have the data they need, the DJ has to fine tune their “playbook,” so to speak. Unlike a club or a party, a wedding reception has a structure that depends heavily on timing and precision. This goes double if the DJ is also working the ceremony. They’ve got to be on top of the processional, the recessional, the walk-in music, the mood music during dinner, and the dance songs during the party. Each song must carefully match the mood, and transitions between songs have to be flawless.

If you’ve asked your DJ to double as the Master of Ceremony, they’ve got to plan for that as well. In between playing music, they’ll have to announce events and hit certain cues to make sure everything proceeds as planned.

That’s why it’s so critical to find a DJ who understands the importance of doing their homework. Like the jockeys at California Non Stop.
