Booking a DJ for a destination wedding

At a destination wedding, the DJ is not only a music question. Travel, gear, the timetable, the venue and how everyone communicates have to fit together early. I travel from Cologne for weddings like that.

Music for a room that did not grow up together

Weddings away from home are often international. Guests fly in from different countries, speak different languages and bring different songs with them. An open-format set is how those differences can share one floor.

Sort the gear before you sort the playlist

Not every venue has a professional sound and light system. Sometimes there is gear, and it is still wrong for a party. Sometimes everything has to be organised.

Worth clarifying:

• What does the venue provide?
• Who handles setup and the soundcheck?
• Are there volume rules?
• Do you want lighting?
• Are there speeches, and do they need a microphone?

Travel and a place to sleep

If the distance or the timetable means an overnight stay, that belongs in the plan from the start. The quote depends on the destination, the hours, the gear and the whole shape of the day.

Earlier is calmer

A wedding abroad has more moving parts. The sooner the music, the gear and the travel are agreed, the easier the day is. Once you have a place and a date, write to me. I will tell you how travel, gear and music can fit that wedding.
