Wedding DJ Mistakes To AvoidA wedding should be a beautiful experience. The kind of music you play can go a long way in making this possible. But, conversely, if you get an inexperienced DJ, even a few mistakes can ruin the day and experience. Hire a professional wedding DJ to guarantee that your wedding doesn’t fall victim to these mistakes. If you’re not sure what they are, we’ve listed them below. Take note of them, and we promise your wedding night will run smoothly, and everyone will have a great time! • Not Knowing Who Your Guests Are
First of all, make sure the DJ knows the specifics of the guest you've invited. Being aware of the ages, backgrounds and such will go a long way to the DJ being successful at your wedding. Some people may like Rock, Pop, Top 40 while others might like R&B or Reggae. A professional wedding DJ will know what to play and when to play it and for whom. • Starting with Inappropriate Song Starting off your wedding dance floor with a song that’s inappropriate for the majority of your guests is one of the most common wedding DJ mistakes amateurs make. That’s another reason you should only secure the services of a professional wedding DJ to cover your wedding. A professional knows how to start and raise the energy as the night goes on. A common theme at weddings is to have people dance together in groups; playing songs that the majority will enjoy ensures this happens smoothly. But a professional won’t forget to include a few slower songs for those who prefer to dance with their partner. • Not Knowing the Kind of Reception it Will Be Ensure your DJ knows the timeline and what kind of reception that will follow your wedding ceremony (buffet, sit down dinner, etc.). This is necessary so they can include appropriate songs for it. Of course, you can have the DJ play some of your favourite songs where they fit. A professional DJ will make sure to play appropriate music for your ceremony, cocktails, dinner and dance portions of your wedding reception.

3 Tips for An Outstanding First DanceThe first dance is one of the moments that transform weddings into fairy tales. Those wonderful minutes when you and your spouse hold hands and float across the floor is something you’ll never forget. And yet, it can be exciting or cause anxiety to some couples. So, what if you fall into the latter category? How do you solve it? Whether you’re experienced on a dance floor or a novice, there are a few pointers you should know regarding your first dance. Below are the most important ones! ● Select A Song That You Both Love
While it’s nice to choose a popular song or one that is “wedding appropriate,” don’t rely on these guidelines exclusively to make your decision. If a song you both enjoy isn’t suitable for a wedding, check for the acoustic version. Also, don’t be afraid to spice up your first dance; after all, it’s your big day, and your guests are there to share your story. ● Be Sure to Keep It Short Weddings are celebrations, and it’s understandable why you’d want to keep your first dance going for as long as possible. But it’s only fair that you cut the song short. We say this because if your first dance runs long, it can spoil the mood. So, instead, aim to keep your guests excited so they’d join the party after the reception! ● Consider Your Outfits When practicing for your first dance, be sure to think about your clothing as well. For example, wedding gowns with long trains, off-shoulders, fishtails, or mermaid designs might be difficult to dance in. To ensure you can dance in them, put on your shoes and try a few moves during rehearsals. Your first dance is incomplete without the right DJs, and that’s where we come in! We are DJ XTC Entertainment, a team of professional wedding DJs and entertainers in Toronto! We cater to couples of all backgrounds, and we believe we’re the best professionals for your big day because we value you and how special your day is. We’ll talk with you, understand what you want and ensure we play what reflects you as a couple. You’ll love the sheer variety of songs we’ll have for your wedding and even the after-party.

Awkward Myths About Wedding DJsYour wedding DJ plays an essential role in the smooth running of your big day by playing excellent music. Your DJ is only happy when you and your guests enjoy yourselves! There are many different types of DJs, each with their style and services. For example, some DJs specifically cater to weddings, some to formal events, and some to clubs. More than this, there are also particular myths surrounding DJs, but somehow, many people seem to believe. So we’ll debunk those myths today! Below are some of the most common preconceptions about DJs.
The best DJs are experienced and always primarily focus on the couple. But these DJs also ensure your guests have a great time throughout the wedding day.
A professional DJ can also be an emcee or entertainment coordinator. A DJ cares about you and your guests, and they use music to create a wonderful atmosphere at your wedding.
Ensure you stay away from DJs like these. Using free music at your wedding may have unpleasant consequences. For example, the songs may be unedited and contain explicit lyrics that will ruin your wedding. The music might not be the correct format or bitrate to sound good on large speaker system. But you can avoid all this; all you need to do is hire a professional wedding DJ for your Toronto area wedding. Hire us! We are DJ XTC Entertainment, one of Toronto’s favourite wedding DJs and entertainers! If you want a DJ that’s tailored for your event, you can’t do better than us! We’re a team of professionals who celebrate couples of diverse backgrounds. Click here to reach us today! Your wedding is right around the corner. You’ve shared all of the nitty-gritty specifics with your wedding planner. You know what your wedding theme will be, as well as the entire wedding timeline, the DJ you’ll hire, and the music that will be played. Having all this planned out is not a guarantee that you will have the ideal wedding. There are still a lot of mood-setting things to do. Getting the right energy during the reception when your guests eat or try out your fun wedding activities is essential. Having everything planned out is necessary, but you must also have the right kind of energy at your wedding reception. A professional wedding DJ and a well-placed dance floor to help set the right mood for your guests is what you need here! Consider Your Venue
Consider your reception venue layout and how to create the proper ambiance. While this might be difficult, your wedding DJ can work with your wedding planner to generate the right energy at the reception. If your wedding party is in the middle of the room then placing your DJ in a corner will not be a good idea. Consider also your guests too. When conversing, they obviously won’t want to yell at each other just to be heard, so keep your speakers and DJ at least ten feet away from the dining area. Strategically Place Your Setup Bar and Other Wedding Activities While your DJ provides great music, having other things going on in the same room can help to keep the energy flowing at your wedding venue. If you want to move activities to another room or spot keep a bar in the main room. You want something that will keep your guests dancing, and sweet music and sweeter drinks are perfect for that! Your bar should be set up far enough from the dance floor so guests may order a drink without difficulty, but close enough that they don’t have to walk too far for the drinks. Better yet, have the servers walk around and pass out drinks. Music and dancing make great entertainment on your wedding day. Only a professional wedding DJ can make this possible. We would love to entertain your guests and throw a fantastic party for your big day! DJ XTC Entertainment is a professional wedding DJ in Toronto and the Great Toronto Area!

There is absolutely no question that all business took a huge hit in 2020. One of the many industries severely impacted by the pandemic is the wedding industry. As COVID numbers increased, many Toronto couples were faced with a very difficult decision. To continue on with their wedding day as planned, host a compromised reception with only a few close friends and family, or to postpone their nuptials until large groups couple could gather again.
Although the end of the pandemic isn't here, it is luckily in sight, and there may be a day in the future when everyone is having a great time at large weddings without masks and hand sanitizer. Unfortunately, that time hasn’t come yet and we might be looking at another year or more of protection from disease. That doesn’t mean that we can’t still celebrate love and the joining of two families. However, it does mean that we should be taking extreme precautions in order to celebrate safely. It only takes one person to make everyone potentially unsafe. Regardless of the group that you fall into, there are guidelines to follow to guarantee that everyone is having fun and staying safe. Wedding Planners A huge part of a planner’s job is to stay informed and up to date on restrictions and guidelines. They are an excellent reference for getting current information and tips for what to expect on your wedding day. They keep informed and know standard procedures. It is in their best interest, from a liability standpoint. Wedding Planners can also be used as guides to the guests on the day of your wedding. It’s important to have a someone in charge of maintaining covid standards, and a wedding planner is a perfect person to fill that role. Since it’s their job to ensure that your wedding day runs as smoothly as possible, they have a responsibility to make sure that each guest is following the policies put in place. And a good wedding planner won’t have any issue telling any guest to wear their mask whenever they aren't not eating. The Wedding Couple Communication is always key when it comes to having a COVID-friendly wedding. And since everyone is gathering to celebrate of the couple, they should be the ones regularly updating everyone on the policies put in place. It’s important to extensively communicate with your guests and vendors to ensure that everyone is on the same page. Also, if any guests or vendors are not willing to abide by the rules you have put in place, make it known that they will be removed from the event. This is to ensure everyone’s safety and to make sure that everyone can enjoy themselves. Do some research and ask questions of your vendors beforehand. Find out about their policies and views on the pandemic and make sure they perfectly align with yours. A disagreement with what is acceptable is not worth the headache. The Guests Each and every guest is responsible for their personal safety at the wedding. If you’re a guest attending a wedding during COVID, it’s important to know exactly how to handle the protocols. Most times, clear instructions for the wedding day will be laid out on the couple’s wedding website or other communications. But if you’re ever unclear about COVID guidelines during the wedding, do not hesitate to send a message to the couple. Just like you have a duty to abide by the rules, they have a duty to keep their guests informed. And most importantly, respect the decisions they make. Yes, it might not be fun dancing with a mask on, but if it’s what makes the couple comfortable enough to enjoy their wedding day, it is not something that should be up for debate. At the end of the day, if you are ready to have your dream wedding, if you are willing to be flexible, and are ok with a unique but safe wedding day then make sure to limit your guest list, choose an outdoor venue, try to keep socially distanced from others as often as possible, and stock each table with hand sanitizer and masks. You can still have the wedding day of your dreams with proper planning.

Some of the US States & Canadian Provinces have started to open and loosen restrictions after COVID-19. There have been directives regarding the number of people that can gather. There have also been rules regarding weddings & events. Some areas have contended that although weddings can continue, that there should be no dancing to make sure that we don't once again infect large groups. What if they say there is no dancing allowed for your wedding? Should you cancel your DJ/MC?
NO and here's why ... Your DJ takes care of the music during your pre-ceremony, ceremony, cocktails & dinner. Ok, there's no dancing but the day will be lacking without the effects of music during all these parts of your big day. You most certainly want your friends and family to hear your vows during the ceremony. It would the DJ providing sound support & mics that makes sure that everyone feels included in the day. The guests should be focused and in the moment. Your MC in turn will be in charge of managing all the events in your timeline, to make all announcements and introducing the speeches. There is nothing worse that being in a wedding and not knowing what is actually happening next. If there is no dancing then of course dance floor lighting is not necessary but what about decor & uplighting? Uplighting with enhance and transform the plain walls in your venue to something that is unique to you and your partner. Along with maintaining your timeline will be the particular parts that make it up. Those special moments that many of us love at weddings aren't the same without someone to announce and clarify exactly what is happening. A DJ will be able to come up with fun activities to keep an otherwise drab event moving along. An experienced DJ won't be thrown off if something isn't running on time in the kitchen.
