You’re in the planning stages of your wedding and realizing that a DJ may be more expensive than you thought, can you skip it?
Here’s a few reasons why you may want to splurge on a DJ, and a few instances where it might be ok to not have a DJ. 

Less Work 
Without a DJ you’re going to have a lot of work to do at your own reception. Guests will ask for their favorite song (repeatedly) and if something goes wrong, you’ll need to leave the dance floor to fix it. 

More Dancing
Unfortunately getting your friends and family on the dance floor is not as easy as putting together a Spotify playlist. A DJ will be able to read the crowd and skillfully change and blend songs to meet demand. 

Better Announcements 
Part of a DJs job is letting your guests know what they need to do and where to go. And as a professional, they’ll make sure those announcements, like your epic first dance, are made right on time.

Those are reasons why you should have a DJ, but there’s a few times when you may be ok DIYing your music:

1. You’re inviting less than 50 guests
2. You’re not planning on dancing
3. You really can’t make your budget stretch!

Hope that helps make an important decision in your wedding planning. 
We can help you complete your perfect day by giving you an experienced DJ for your wedding.

​Namaste and Hello to all the music lovers out there! At DJ XTC Entertainment, we are thrilled to shed light on the vibrant and joyous celebration known as the Sangeet. For those unfamiliar with this magical event, we're here to guide you through the festivities and show you how our DJ and MC can make your Sangeet an unforgettable experience. So, let's dive into the world of music, dance, and love!

What is a Sangeet?
The Sangeet is a pre-wedding celebration originating from the Indian subcontinent. It is a night of music, dance, and merriment, bringing together the families of the bride and groom to celebrate their union in a spirited way. Traditionally, the Sangeet was an intimate gathering of close friends and family, but in recent years, it has evolved into a grand extravaganza.

DJ XTC Entertainment's Role:
​As your Sangeet DJ, we bring the beats that will make your guests groove. Our expert DJs curate a dynamic playlist blending traditional Indian songs with modern hits, ensuring that every moment is filled with infectious energy. From Bollywood classics to the latest dance tracks, we create a musical journey that caters to the diverse tastes of your guests.

MC: Master of Ceremonies:
In a Sangeet, the MC plays a vital role in keeping the festivities flowing smoothly. Our experienced MC takes charge of the event, guiding the guests through various performances and interactions. They introduce family members, provide context for special moments, and engage the audience with their charisma and humor. The MC's role is to create a lively atmosphere that encourages everyone to let loose and enjoy the celebration.

Set Boundaries: Communicate with your loved ones and vendors about your desire to disconnect on your wedding day. Let them know that you'll be unavailable for non-emergency matters, allowing you to focus on the precious moments unfolding.​
​
Delegate Responsibilities: Assign trusted family members or friends to handle any last-minute details or potential issues that may arise. Having a support system in place will alleviate stress and allow you to fully enjoy the day without distractions.

Digital Detox: Consider implementing a digital detox plan by temporarily disabling notifications and stepping away from social media platforms. This will free you from the constant stream of updates, allowing you to be present in every moment of your wedding.

Unplug and Unwind: Start your day with a few moments of mindfulness and relaxation. Consider practicing yoga, meditation, or simply taking deep breaths to center yourself. This will help you stay calm, grounded, and fully present throughout the day.

Hand Over Devices: Entrust your phone and other devices to a responsible friend or family member. Let them be the point of contact for any urgent matters, allowing you to be fully engaged in the festivities without the temptation of constantly checking your phone.

Enjoy Intimate Moments: Set aside special moments for just you and your partner. Take breaks throughout the day to share quiet moments, exchange heartfelt words, or steal a dance together. These private moments will create cherished memories that you'll treasure for a lifetime.

Embrace Mindful Eating: During your wedding reception, savour each bite of your carefully curated menu. Engage all your senses as you relish the flavours, textures, and aromas of the delicious food. Being present while enjoying your meal will enhance the overall dining experience.

Dance and Celebrate: Let go of any inhibitions and immerse yourself in the celebration. Dance like nobody's watching, laugh wholeheartedly, and embrace the joyous atmosphere. Allow the music and the company of loved ones to uplift your spirits and create unforgettable memories.

Practice Gratitude: Take moments throughout the day to express gratitude for everyone who has contributed to your wedding. Acknowledge the love and support surrounding you, and make a point to personally thank each person for their presence and participation in your special day.​

Be in the Moment: Above all, remember to be fully present in every moment of your wedding day. Take mental snapshots of the sights, sounds, and emotions that surround you. Immerse yourself in the love, happiness, and magic of the day, allowing it to create lifelong memories.

Disconnecting on your wedding day is a conscious choice that will allow you to fully embrace and cherish the moments that unfold. By setting boundaries, detaching from digital distractions, and being present in every moment, you'll create a truly immersive experience. So, take a deep breath, let go of outside worries, and let your wedding day be a magical journey that you'll remember fondly for years to come.

Your officiant takes on a major role on your big day so your decision isn’t one to take lightly!Here are a few things to consider when deciding who would make the perfect officiant:

Who do you know?
The first step is to consider if you already know a good fit. This could be someone from your current or previous place of worship, a friend, or someone in your community. 

Do your research!
Check out a potential officiant’s credentials and references. Your officiant is a legal role so if they don’t have the right certifications or licensing your vows could end up null and void! Yikes.

Do they speak well? 
Your officiant needs to have the confidence to speak clearly. Ask for a video from another wedding to see whether this is someone you want to oversee your big day!

Get personal…
Plan to meet your officiant a few times to get to know them better, and for them to get to know you. This also gives you a chance to find out if you have aligned values. 

Special obligations
Some officiants require premarital counselling, online training sessions or other meetings so be sure you’re ready to meet those expectations.

Hopefully this will help you to narrow down potential officiants for your special day. Looking to narrow down your search for a Wedding DJ/MC? We would love to chat - contact us today!
