Hi people,
I went to my mates wedding on Saturday and they decided to go for the venue's resident DJ even though they told me themself they dont like him and I offered him a reduced rate as he is a really good mate.
People started arriving at 7 which is when the partys was surpose to start but the DJ didn't start till 8 which annoyed alot of people, it then got to 10 and the DJ hadn't said 1 word over the mic and when he was asked to play songs for the bride and groom he said "No I'm not doing requests yet". Then at 10:30 people were asking if there were going to be any speeches and the bride and groom said they should have been at 9 but they were waiting for the DJ to announce them, so I decided to have a word with him and he said "Noone has mentioned speeches so I thought they wasn't having any" :o I was shocked at this and couldn't believe what I was hearing.
Then when it came to the first dance the DJ forgot what song he was surpose to play and then when he was told he found he didn't have the song so just played a random song. He also din't fetch his karaoke stuff even though they wanted karaoke as their whole family loved it. Through out the entire night the DJ didn't say 1 thing over the mic and got the bride and groom to announce everything.
What amazes me is the bride and groom both work at the venue so the DJ had plenty of time to double check things but he just decided not to. Before I left I passed my number to the manager and said to give me a call if he needs a dj. Reminds me of that video somewhere on youtube that says something like "The DJ either makes or breaks your wedding, don't go cheap"
