Looking for South Asian Wedding DJs in Toronto?
Weddings without music will be such a vanilla event! Especially a South Asian Wedding, right? The peppy music whether it is the dholki’s or dhol’s beats or the high trance music from the boombox- the sound of music just adds charm to a wedding. And the creator of this charm and magic at a wedding is the DJ, also known as Disc Jockey. Being a DJ at a wedding is no simple task, it takes a lot of knowledge, creativity, energy, a good communication skill to pull off a wedding event. A great wedding DJ will also act as your Master of Ceremonies, introducing the wedding party, the toasts, your first dance, and everything of importance.
Why do you need a DJ to play at a wedding?
Making a playlist, fixing a good sound system, and pressing that play button is absolutely easy and via that, you can definitely have a fun time at your wedding. But, there won’t be that magic and vibe that a DJ can create with his creative expertise. You might think that you can handle the wedding but, it is a big event and might we add an important one. A professional DJ handling the event will be better.
1. A good wedding DJ will spend hours communicating with the couple in understanding how they are pursuing the event. Through the one-on-one conversation, the DJ will get the vibe the couple is going for and then develop a timeline, determine music likes and dislikes, and practice pronouncing the names of the wedding party and other hosting activities.
2. A DJ's job is not just to play music. One of the most important skills of a wedding DJ is programming, and playing the right song at the right time. It is not about the selection of the music, their creativity lies in the way they blend the music and play it at the correct moment.
3. A wedding DJ will work around with other vendors too, like the photographer and videographers. The point of having a good wedding DJ is so that the couple and all the guests can sit back and enjoy the music and as time passes maybe even dance the night off without having anybody to run to change the song every other minute.
Qualities of a Good Wedding DJ
1. Experience
A wedding DJ is an essential part of your special day and the type of music your DJ plays will determine the mood of the wedding event. You would definitely go for a DJ who is professional in blending, cutting, and mixing the right melodies for a wedding to keep up the good vibes.
2. Communication
Any event needs a DJ who is good at communicating with the crowd and reading the room, and understanding the importance of the event. When you will be on the lookout for your DJ, observe the way they talk with you because that will give you an idea of how good they are at communicating.
3. Personality
Personality, one might say is not an important element, but it is. You will hire a good DJ who knows everything about playing, but if their personality and approach to others are not up to the mark, then it will definitely upset the vibe of your wedding.
4. Flexible
Anybody can play music and nowadays, people get a good remix of a few melodies to play, but the talent of a good wedding DJ is that he/she will be able to play anything and everything without any hesitation. Even if there is any last-minute changes, cancellations, or requirement, a DJ who can get the party started and not stop it till the event is not over, is termed as a good DJ.
