Engagement Party

[SolDios]

Hey, so ive been asked by a family friends daughter to DJ at there engagement party!

So, this being different from my normal 18th's and 21st's, Im going to assume there's going to be a whole different range of music to play, Ive asked them to give me a play list so I can get a rough idea of what music they will be into.

Im assuming because there 30 - 32 there will be a mixture of old and new stuff however, I might do what gandy did with his wedding he did and put a well thought out play list into itunes and enable auto cross fade until everyone wants to dance then il get mixing.

I have a lot of old stuff in my collection and my father has alot of it too (b-52's, zz top and all that)

I'm also assuming if im good enough they will hire me for there wedding.

So am I thinking about this the right way? any tips/tricks?

ive never done a wedding mate, you might be thinking of skank/foolish

i did have one lined up for this month however they lost the venue at the last minute and had to re-schedule for next year sometime, but thats what i was going to do, get a list from the hosts of what bangers they want to hear and build up a good list from there and auto crossfade till everyones half charged and get on and spin from there.

people with more experience doing weddings than me should be able to help you out

SOL: What you are thinking and planning is reasonable. Engagement is similar to wedding but less bull i.e. no throwing bouquet, bestmans speech, 1st dance to work round... So get ideas for the playlist from them, Start slow, mix it up later. For more info chk these threads:

viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1755 (for things to be ready for)

viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3809 (for songs that are likely to go down well, not all are gold tho!)

Gandy: shame about that mates wedding mate. Thought you were gonna boss that and was waiting for a gig log.

its all good, his fault for being so slack to tell me if he kept me in the loop from the start i wouldnt of been on his case, a wedding is pretty ordinary without any music
