Rather than pull the other post off thread (which itself came off the back of another thread that had gone off topic!), it seems sensible to create a new thread surrounding attire for wedding DJs.
I appreciate there will be differences between those who do evening only and those who are all day DJs (and hosts/MCs)
It's an area I've spent time considering, and to a degree struggling with.
I've always been of the opinion that I'm a performer, and not a guest, and should stand out as such. Equally, I don't want to look like one of the waiting staff/venue staff.
The whole "black tie" look has never been my thing, it just doesn't suit me. And I'm a firm believer that you've got to be comfortable in what you're wearing, otherwise it'll affect your performance. For the last 12 months, I've been wearing a dark grey suit with either a silvery shirt or white shirt (but a very nice one with trim), and with cuff-links.
I don't feel comfortable with a tie, and my guests have chosen me to host as they don't want a formal "toastmaster".
For the evening I tend to lose the jacket and drop to shirt and trousers - and when I'm doing evening only, then it's shirt and trousers.
I have purchased a "black sparkly" jacket for corporate events. It's a bit too much for weddings, but I think will work well at Christmas Parties.
This is one of those topics where I don't think there's a "right or wrong". It's all about what works for us personally. Each bride and groom has different tastes, so it's important that what we wear reflects our personality. After all, a band often turns up looking "funky" rather than smart, and I imagine David Guetta would also turn up to perform at a wedding looking like a celeb, and not in a smart suit!
So what do you wear (daytime / evening)...
