This wedding didn't go as planned 😬 (DJ gig log)

Not every wedding turns into a packed dance floor… and that’s okay. In this gig log, I take you behind the scenes of a wedding that didn’t exactly go as planned. Strong winds forced us to move the ceremony indoors, we ended up relying on the venue’s sound system, and the dance floor never really took off. But this is the reality of being a wedding DJ—every crowd is different, every event has its own vibe, and sometimes success looks different than you expect. In this video, you’ll see how I: • Adapt to last-minute changes • Work with unexpected setups • Handle quieter crowds professionally • Keep things smooth even when the energy is low Whether you're a DJ, planning a wedding, or just curious what these events are really like, this is a real look at the job—beyond the highlight reels. 👇 Chapters: 00:00 - Introduction 01:12 - Charging EVERYTHING 02:25 - Loading Up/Setting Up 03:14 - Change of plans? 04:22 - New Ceremony Plan 05:32 - Next Steps 06:55 - Grand Entrance 07:43 - Funny moments 08:08 - Bouquet Toss/Garter Toss 08:39 - First Dances 09:01 - Dance Party…? 10:01 - Send off 10:14 - Post wedding thoughts Like my setup?
