What matters most
Start with the fixed shape of the day: ceremony, cocktail or tea, dinner, formalities and dance — each needs a different sound.
Points to work through
- Decide early whether the DJ also supplies sound and microphones, or works on the venue system.
- Collect entrances, the first dance and family must-play songs with exact versions and start points.
- Agree who runs announcements and how the DJ and emcee hand over.
- Plan the finish time against the venue’s noise rule so the peak lands before any cut-off.
- Keep one dated brief that the DJ, emcee and venue all work from.
