Professional Montreal wedding DJs will familiarize themselves with your wedding details to make your wedding truly unique and unforgettable. Culture, particular customs, language as well as your and your guests musical preferences will guide professional wedding DJs to set the right atmosphere for all scheduled wedding reception activities. Many Montreal wedding DJs will also act as a master of ceremonies, if so desired, announcing events such as the entrance of the bride and groom, first dance, toast to the bride and groom, cutting of the wedding cake, tossing of the bouquet and garter and departure of the bride and groom.
Music and Montreal Wedding DJs
The selection of wedding music and when to play the music is what professional Montreal wedding DJs do best. Typically soft, low-key background music during the wedding cocktail and dinner hours are a prelude to the wedding music that will later invigorate the wedding party. Experienced Montreal wedding DJs will know how to mix the type and intensity of the music to keep the wedding celebrations rolling for all age groups. And as their repertoire is virtually endless including everything from the old classics, hip-hop, hot jazz, salsa to top 40 and hard rock, professional Montreal wedding DJs will request your song preferences to hone in on your musical tastes. It is therefore important to prepare a short list of must play songs which would include songs for your first and last dances. If there are any endearing stories about a particular song, pass them along to your wedding DJ so that they may be shared when the song is played at your wedding. A secondary list of songs to be played can also be compiled but make sure that there is a variety of musical genres to please everyone. In addition, a do not play song list can be assembled for any songs that you may not particularly like or that may elicit bad memories for you or any one of your guests. But remember, professional Montreal DJs have the know-how to respond to the mood and pulse of your wedding party, so it is advisable to limit your song requests to a reasonable number.
Entertainment and Montreal Wedding DJs
Some Montreal couples are looking for more than a wedding DJ to play music. Most Montreal wedding DJs animate but performance style and the extent of the animation will vary from DJ to DJ. Crowd motivators may accompany your Montreal wedding DJ to help encourage people to the dance floor or assist in getting guests to participate in organized group dances and games. Your Montreal wedding DJ may also use an assortment of props and costumes to engage your wedding guests or use theatrical lighting, dancers etc. for party entertainment. It is important to see Montreal wedding DJs in action before committing or at least look at video recordings or listen to sound tracks of recent weddings they performed to determine if a Montreal wedding DJ is right for you.
