Beach Wedding Entertainment

Entertainment may be  the most important part of your reception.  If your guests are bored, they may leave early.  If you want your guests to still talk about your reception 5 years down the road, you’ll need to keep them entertained.  A great band can really get the crowd involved and liven up a party.  The drawbacks are that they take up a lot of space, take long breaks and cost a lot of money.  A DJ is the most practical solution for the bride on a budget.  There are a lot of  “clowns” out there.  Do your homework before hiring your DJ.  What does he look and sound like?  A facial tattoo  or squeaky voice may not be what you’re searching for.  Does he use tobacco?   A DJ that smokes takes too many breaks.  A DJ that chews tobacco may offend your guests.  The ideal wedding DJ will be close to your age.  They’ll have grown up listening to the same music as you.  They’ll know what to play to get you and your bridal party up and dancing.  Remember- its YOUR party.  Speak with them on the phone to make sure you connect.  Make sure they’ll play the music you want to hear. If you have Spanish speaking guests, you may want a bilingual DJ. A reputable DJ  offer you a reception planner to customize your special songs.   Your DJ should definitely live close to your venue.  If the DJ’s van breaks down, they won’t be able to put their equipment in a taxi. If you need to bring in a DJ from out of town, have them arrive the night before or  make sure you have a back up plan.
