"Do-Not-Play" Lists

Many people would agree that the reception is the best part of the wedding, and some would say that the best part of the reception is the dancing. A good playlist and a good DJ can make for a great time. But what about those moments when the DJ plays a song that is, well.... washed up. It kills the mood and that can take quite few songs to get the taste of your mouth. So it is very important that DJ's stay on top of what people DON'T want to hear just as much as they pay attention to what people DO want to hear. For those of you planning wedding's, be sure to find a really good DJ. Check it this article that i read that names the top 36 songs not to play at weddings. Topping the list is "Celebration" by Kool & The Gang and "Footloose" from the 1984 musical starring Kevin Bacon.

Wedding DJ Gear #4 - Speaker Stands

Another important piece of equipment for DJs are speaker stands. Speaker stands are used to raise the speakers to a level where the sound is going to be most audible and not be "eaten up" by bodies and other things that absorb sound. Without these the speakers would be on the ground making it painfully hard to hear and it would be very quiet during speech's and toasts. Good wedding DJs have good speaker stands and know the best place to put them.
