DJ GIG LOG: Wedding at The Woodwinds (Event Prep Tip)

#DJRachel #WeddingDJ #WoodwindsCT
Organization and event prep are so crucial to having successful events. This GIG LOG highlights the importance of doing a venue walkthrough and having a game plan. On the day of this wedding, another party was in the main reception room which I knew about. This meant my setup time was cut back significantly. My wedding started at 4:00PM which means guests usually arrive around 3:30PM. The party in the other room went on until 2:30PM, so there was only about an hour to get things ready. The only way to get this done was to stage things in zones and then prioritize what I need to do now versus what I can do later. What made this even harder was the room wasn't completely cleared out by 2:30PM, so I had to navigate around people, balloons, trash, and tables left in the room. To date, this was the second tightest setup time I have had, and ended up buttoning things up during cocktail hour. It all worked out perfectly, but was a crazy setup! As a mobile DJ, you have to be flexible and rely on organization to navigate these obstacles.
