What Does A Wedding DJ Do?
A wedding DJ conducts all forms of entertainment for the night. The entertainment comes in many forms, including the perfect playlist, being the MC of the night to make sure everything runs smoothly and on schedule, and taking requests from the many drunken wedding guests (14 requests per reception on average). They have to be able to read the room and adjust the music accordingly.
The dance floor has to be jumping during the peak of the reception, and the mood has to be touching during the couples’ first dance. The wedding DJ also makes announcements about cutting the wedding cake, cueing up guests to give their toasts, and monitoring the equipment so the night unfolds without any interruptions.
Wedding DJs at Ross Productions also provide dance floor lighting, uplighting, and photo booth services, so guests leave with special mementos and unforgettable memories. No matter the size, shape, or nature of your wedding, our premier wedding DJ services are here to help.
Outdoor Vs. Indoor Weddings
Whether you hold your wedding in a beautiful Pennsylvania meadow or inside a grand ballroom, a wedding DJ can provide the perfect atmosphere for your specific needs. Our equipment is durable, versatile, and scalable, meaning we can tailor the experience to your specific venue and requests.
Using our state-of-the-art lighting systems, we can turn a ballroom into a concert hall or disco-level dance floor. We can also scale it back to a quaint, humble, golden-lit garden of lights for a smaller outdoor ceremony. When you hire Ross Productions, we adjust to satisfy your every need. It’s your big day, and we can bring it to life.
Big Vs. Small Weddings
Even if your ceremony involves less than 10 people—or even just you, your partner, and a minister or wedding officiant—our DJs can decorate your small wedding with your favorite songs, the prettiest lights, and other memorable features.
On the other hand, if you have a massive wedding of 100, 200, or even 300 people, our roster of amazing wedding DJs can be the life of the party, and provide a dream celebration for you and everyone you love to celebrate the most important day of your life. Our professionals are equipped with decades of making people’s dreams come true. No matter your wedding dreams or demands, we can help make them a reality.
Traditional Vs. Nontraditional Weddings
If you want the classic church ceremony followed by a fun celebration at a nearby location, no problem. Or if you have a destination or elopement wedding, our DJs can make the trip (most of the time) to provide the perfect entertainment service there as well. Sometimes all you need is your soon-to-be husband or wife and the perfect song.
Our wedding DJs can be as involved as you’d like them to be. If you want them to be mostly background figures providing some nice music, they can handle that easily. Or if you want them to lead the entire party throughout the night, they can bring the energy as well. With Ross Productions, we can handle all of your wedding needs.
