What To Expect. First the photographer may want to take a few more pictures at the church or wedding site. After that, it's off to be greeted by family and friends who have come together for your wedding day. It's one of the things he enjoys most. And for the next few hours it will be his job to lead the festivities, play the music that is important to you and your guests, and keep the reception running smoothly.
Music is in fact the most important and memorable part of a reception.
Reception guests seldom remember the meal or even the cake, but they almost always remember the music, especially if the DJ did a great job. The main reason wedding couples choose a DJ is the selection of music a DJ can play spans across all ages and tastes. But aside from the music, your DJ will also act as your Master of Ceremonies to help maintain the proper flow during the reception. Your DJ will coordinate with your photographer to get all the right pictures for your wedding album. So while you may be thinking of hiring a DJ just for the music, remember to consult with him a few weeks before the wedding to discuss the disered order of events such as the cutting of the wedding cake, the toast, and the bouquet and garter toss.
