I hate it when it gets to a few days, but I guess its not too bad after a few weeks. Not for me though.

Plus, the beard and sleeve makes me considerably more hipster than Toby.
White Vans man?
I got told off last night by an old git who shall remain nameless for not wearing a tie.

Welcome to the revolution Brother Matty, we have ties, jackets, suits, erm......
I have to admit - it's very rare now for me to wear a tie. I find them uncomfortable and restrictive to work in (I have a fat neck and prefer my collar button to be undone).
Don't get me wrong, I carry a rainbow selection of different neck-wear in the van just in case it's insisted on. This year at least though, I think I've only worn one the once (and that came off after the first dance)

I generally always wear a tie for the ceremony and up until the wedding breakfast when wearing any suit, but tend to always wear one with a waistcoat. I got told off many years ago by my wedding manager (my wise teacher of formality) at my residency. Her words were "its fine for the evening but far too casual for the ceremony". she is in her late 50's, but she is in my opinion correct (at this specific venue). I tend to get used to it after its on as i buy shirts that slightly larger neck width.

I was always likewize with the jacket. It stayed on until the dancing started and I was behind the decks at which point it would come off.

Eh? I beg your pardon!!
Granted, I don't turn up looking like HG Wells, Sherlock Holmes, or Henry Morton Stanley, but I would like to draw the Honourable Member's attention to the salient lines from the purple prose sent to each and every one of my customers.
"I will dress in keeping with the dress code for the function ( I’m happy to work in fancy dress also, if the function is themed ) whether that be smart casual, shirt and tie, or suit and tie. Again, you can specify whatever you wish, you’re in charge".
The sartorial default setting for weddings is a suit ( if time and circumstances allow ). The minimum standard is shiny shoes, smart trousers, and a tie. ( Worn round the neck as per its intended use, not the forehead. )

I always arrive in my black polo T-shirt that has my logo on it, so everyone knows who I am and I'll keep that on until I have unloaded and setup.
Once everything's ready to roll it's on with a fance white shirt, got to look smart as I am the DJ here to entertain the guests and need to look the part.
I think a tie would be overdressing for me, but would where one if requested.
Here's a photo form last year. taken at Wookie Hole!
IMO looks quite smart, the disco has somewhat changed since :-)

Never say never.
Well folks, one of the last bastions of what Real DJ's do may be crumbling. As I've said above, and I see Chris was on the same page, I used to feel a sense of confidence from wearing a suit. It was the uniform, the symbol of what we do.
Things change, and I must own up to not wearing a suit at a few weddings recently, for various reasons. Suit trousers, shirt, and on one occasion, I think I didn't have a tie!
Nobody died. Nobody had an attack of the vapours. As with many aspects of this game, a rethink could be on the cards. Mind you, the chances of me turning up dressed like some togs, well......................
