Daytime Wedding at the Catamaran

Qualities your DJ should have:
- Able to get small parties up and dancing: Smaller parties mean fewer guests to work with, you need a DJ that can read a crowd. That's a phrase a lot of DJs throw around without really knowing the meaning of it. A DJ has to be able to look at the group in front of them and anticipate their emotion and energy level over the coming 10-15 minutes and be able to plan the music accordingly in order to effectively rotate the guests from their seats to the dancefloor so that everyone is involved. The musical planning should expand to include the music the guests like, not just what the DJ usually plays and can make work. Would you believe that some DJs know what they will play before the party even starts?
- Dancing in the Daytime: Daytime is not the normal time for dancing; that's what our common sense tells us. A great DJ should be able to build a wedding reception into a celebration and then into a party. Some DJs are more talented at this than others and that effects their rates and pricing.
