Wedding guides
Practical writing on music, planning, prices and multicultural dance floors. For couples getting married in Germany, and for couples whose wedding is the trip.
A multicultural wedding: one floor for more than one culture
What the music has to do when families, generations and guests from different places celebrate together. This is how I build those nights, in Germany and away.
Music and DJ craftAfrobeats, Amapiano and Afrohouse at a wedding
How Afrobeats, Amapiano and Afrohouse work at a wedding without taking over the whole night. This is how I place them, in Germany and at destination weddings.
Destination weddingsBooking a DJ for a destination wedding
What to settle early when the wedding is away from home: the music, the gear, the travel and the overnight stay. I come from Cologne.
Music and DJ craftWhat an open-format DJ actually does
Open format is more than owning a lot of genres. It is how I build a night that can change with the room.
Wedding planningWhat does a wedding DJ cost?
What actually changes a wedding DJ quote: the day, the gear, the distance and whether anyone needs to stay overnight. I price that for your wedding, not from a flat menu.
Multicultural weddingsAfro wedding DJ: Nigeria, Ghana, Congo and Amapiano
How Afrobeats, Amapiano and the music of Nigerian, Ghanaian and Congolese weddings share one floor. I play these weddings in Germany and as destination weddings.
Multicultural weddingsBrazilian wedding DJ: Brazilian music on a shared floor
How Brazilian favourites work at a wedding when not every guest knows the same music. I have played these celebrations in Germany and for couples travelling to the wedding.
Music and DJ craftDancehall wedding DJ: energy at the right hour
How dancehall brings energy to a wedding without running over dinner, family and the rest of the floor. I use it inside an open set, in Germany and at destination weddings.
Wedding planningHow to choose a wedding DJ
What to look for when a DJ has to fit you, your guests and the shape of the day. You can use the same questions with me.
Multicultural weddingsKizomba wedding DJ: a partner dance, not the whole night
When kizomba belongs at a wedding, and when the night should open up again. I play it as part of the set, in Germany and at destination weddings.
Multicultural weddingsMultilingual wedding DJ: German, English and Yoruba
How planning and the spoken moments work when your guests do not share one language. I work with couples in German, English and Yoruba, in Germany and at destination weddings.
Multicultural weddingsTurkish wedding DJ: halay, and a floor both families can share
How halay, Turkish favourites and a mixed guest list can share a wedding, in Germany or at a destination wedding. I play these celebrations.
Wedding planningWedding DJ sound and lighting: what to sort out early
How to tell whether the venue already has the right gear, or whether I should bring sound and light with me.
Wedding planningWedding song requests: a playlist, or room to read the crowd?
How to prepare the songs you care about without freezing the dance floor into a playlist. This is how I use your lists.
Wedding planningWhen should you book a wedding DJ?
Why it is worth asking early, and what I need in that first message to check the date.
