How to DJ a wedding yourself?

To DJ a wedding yourself, start by building a playlist that covers the whole event, from the ceremony to the last dance. Think about the mood you want at each stage: calm music for the ceremony, upbeat tracks for the drinks reception, and danceable songs for the evening. You will need to know the venue's rules about music, including any noise limits or curfews, and whether they provide speakers or if you need to bring your own.

On the day, set up your equipment early and test the sound. Ask a trusted friend to act as the DJ, taking requests and making announcements, so you can enjoy your own wedding. Make sure the playlist is long enough and has a mix of genres and eras to keep everyone happy. Have a backup plan, like a second device or a list of songs everyone knows, in case something goes wrong. Remember, the goal is to keep people dancing, so watch the floor and adjust the music if needed.
