Wedding DJ/MC form

Firstly, thankyou for booking us to DJ and/or MC your wedding!

This form is designed to help us get everything right. Of course we know things change so don't worry if we need to make last minute alterations to anything. Preparation is key, but flexibility is essential!

We've tried our best to use inclusive language but please accept our apologies (and feel free to offer your corrections) if any of our terminology is not as you'd prefer it.

YOUR RECEPTION

The first section of this form is just to cover the key moments of your reception.

Please don't add your general dance floor and background music preferences, playlists, requests and "request-nots" to this form. We will discuss these separately by phone or email. info@adelaidedj.au 0400 464 594

If we're also DJing your ceremony the section for those key moments is near the bottom of this form.

 

We've included heaps of blank fields/spaces to give you lots of options. You will probably only need to fill in a handful of these. Alternatively if we haven't given you enough empty fields please call or email.

Any fields you don't need - just leave them blank.

Generally we will use the information on this form in combination with a Running List/Schedule which you can provide for us when it's available.

If we are MCing, please use this form to help us out with any name pronunciation advice we may need! It's really embarrassing as an MC to mispronounce people's names.

 

1. Wedding Party entries

These are short, punchy snippets of music we play when the MC introduces your "most important people" as they enter the reception venue, the last of these being the newlyweds (that's you!). Traditionally people enter in pairs, such as a bridesmaid with a corresponding groomsman and/or the parent/s of the newlyweds.

You definitely don't need to have this element in your reception, but a lot of people do.

We've included spaces for you to add general information about each person, pair or group which we will need if we're MCing and will also help us make sure the right music is played for the right entry!

We've also included a Dropdown list of our favourite song-snippets to give you some ideas. Of course you're more than welcome to make your own musical choices.

Our song snippets start right at the "action part" of the song for maximum punch (often the beginning of the chorus). We fade the song once each person/group has entered the room.

2. Other special moment songs

YOUR CEREMONY

You only need this final section of our form if we are also DJing your wedding ceremony.

* We've left two spaces for "Walking down the aisle" (Processional) songs, as many couples like two songs here - one for the attendants (eg. Bridesmaids) and one for a Betrothed (or both Betrotheds) to walk down the aisle. It is absolutely not essential to have two songs for this moment! Very often just one song for all entrants works better. Feel free to call or email to discuss. With the Processional we will usually fade out the song when the Bride/Betrothed/s reaches the altar/arbor.

* There are also two spaces for "signing the register songs" as two songs are usually required.

* The Recessional (or walking back up the aisle song) is the song we play after you've signed the register, the celebrant usually re-announces the newlyweds, everyone cheers and you walk back up the aisle. This is the time when people often throw rosepetals or similar.

* We've provided two fields for Special songs for any other moments during the ceremony where you might want music, such as a candle lighting ceremony, rope tying ceremony etc.
