Picking the Right DJ Music Makes or Breaks Your Event!
Party planning takes a lot of work! When planning a party, you spend a lot of time deciding on decor and menu offerings. You also carefully include friends on the guest list that you know will contribute to the mood and bring out the best in the crowd. You also need to pay attention to the DJ music. Music provides the background that sets the ambiance of your event. Careful selection is necessary to get the desired results. Don’t just rely on someone else’s mix. Take a minute to assess your party, the guests and the mood you want to create.
When you are working with children, there can a lot of difficulties. First, kids have an unbelievable amount of energy. When choosing DJ music, you need to determine whether you are going to play off that energy or calm your young guests down. Depending on what the particular activity is, you may want to vary the mood throughout the event. If a game is being played, choose upbeat tunes. For the gifts or food, put on something that is a bit more mellow. Another thing to play close attention to the is the content of the music. Try to keep the values of your guests in mind. Even if you find something appropriate, you may have a more conservative family coming. If you unsure, ask a friend or family member whose opinion you trust.
For an adult party, you have a lot more leeway. Your choices in DJ music will vary all the way from classical to hard rock. If you have a diverse guest list, it’s a good idea to avoid extremes on either end. Easy listening, contemporary or top 40 pop are probably good choices. If you are throwing an event celebrating a life event, choose songs that celebrate life and triumphs. Themed parties call for special music such as disco or 50’s sock hop. Take the extra time to tailor your playlist to your intended mood.
There are a ton choices when it comes to DJ music and only you can be sure what is the best choice. Even if you hire a professional DJ, you will still need to work closely with a professional to ensure that the final product is just what you had in mind. Good music will always be noticed and can really make your event shine. Please always remember the food and music! Don’t disappoint!
