The Ultimate Guide to DJing Your First Wedding (ft. DJ Corey Jay)

DJing a club is easy. DJing a wedding? That’s a whole different beast. If you treat a reception like a nightclub, you’re going to run into trouble fast.

In this video, I sit down with my friend DJ Corey Jay, who is gearing up for her very first wedding gig. She’s an amazing producer and audio engineer, but she knows that weddings require a specific set of skills—from MCing to timeline management.

We break down everything you need to know to transition from "DJ" to "Wedding Professional," including how I handled a drunk best man who wouldn't give up the mic!

In this video, you’ll learn:

- The Timeline Trap: Why you can't just "go with the flow" and how to work with coordinators.
- Club vs. Wedding Vibe: How to read the room during dinner vs. the dance floor.
- The MC Factor: How to handle announcements, awkward silences, and transitions like a pro.
- Disaster Control: A real-life story of how I handled a drunk speech without killing the vibe.
- The "Golden List": Where to find the top 50 songs for every part of the night.

Whether you’re a DJ looking to break into weddings or a couple looking for a DJ who actually cares about the details, this video is for you.
