DJ Tips: How to Crush a Wedding Gig
Wedding gigs pay extremely well, but they require a different skill set than a nightclub. Here is how to succeed.
<p>A nightclub DJ only has to please young adults. A wedding DJ has to please the grandparents, the parents, and the college friends—all at the same time.</p>
<h2>The Multi-Generational Set</h2>
<p>Start the dancing with Motown and 70s/80s hits to get the older crowds on the floor. As the night progresses, transition into 90s, 2000s, and current hits.</p>
<h2>Clean Edits are Mandatory</h2>
<p>You cannot play explicit tracks at a wedding unless explicitly asked by the bride and groom. Ensure your library is stocked with Clean radio edits from <a href="https://rpool.id">RPOOL.ID</a> to avoid awkward moments.</p>
