I have some black shirts made with the company logo on. Don't feel quite as stuffy and not had any comments either way.

I must admit, I personally am not a fan of the trousers, shirt and tie look without a jacket. That, to me, does make you look like you're having 'a day at the office'. Same I think that polo shirts are too casual for a wedding (although great for setting up / break down, and, indeed, have just had a lovely new lot of polos, hoodies, sweatshirts & fleeces made up with our logo on for just this purpose).
Very few other wedding suppliers are involved FOH as much as DJs are, and I think that if you are 'on show' throughout, presentation is important (just like the equipment).
I might add that option to my bookings (what do you want the DJ to wear)?
Agree on the tie and especially on a tux when its not a very formal occasion although different attire can suit different types of people and frames.
I tend to look like this most the time. I am sat in bed with some ice cream so I may need jacket to hide the fat in the future :

My past 3 weddings i have done wearing black jeans and black logo polo shirt - didn't make any difference, except i felt more comfortable.
One was at a good residency i have and the manager approved of the more casual approach.
I'm sure I must have done that on occasion, but nowadays, shirt and tie is the most casual I get. ( At the start of the night ) Funnily enough, the last two brides who got in touch said there was no need for the tie, if I wished.

No offence to you but I think you wold look far better not wearing a tie. I noticed Derek Pengelly and similar ditching the tie for a more casual open neck shirt and suit approach and they looked far better for it. My neighbour was a video person (70yo) and he looked 10 years younger / and more approachable when he did not wear a tie. He looked a bit like one of those teachers at school who should just retire and enjoy themselves before that.
Definitely depends on the venues and clients. wearing a suit in a social club full of people who think wedding attire is shorts and t shirt may make you look like a dick and vice verser at a 4 star hotel with everyone donned in posh suits, dresses and fascinators.
