An absolute pleasure to kick off a busy 2025 wedding season celebrating with Sarah & Paul at a resplendent which, as always, looked amazing, the rustic theme was exactly what Sarah wanted and she couldn't have been happier, a beautiful intimate ceremony & wedding breakfast followed by a busy evening (and a secret rave), lots of dancing, love & laughter.

Thank you to all the friends that wished me a happy birthday for Tuesday, sadly it didn't quite go to plan, I started feeling really ill on Monday night which meant I spent my birthday in bed feeling old and very poorly, yesterday was pretty much the same, thought I'd got over the worse of it only to feel rough again today, it must be a sign I'm getting old, 32 yrs old is taking its toll. 😜

Finding the perfect wedding DJ isn’t as easy as it sounds! 🎧💍

Anyone else feel like it’s a total rollercoaster trying to find a DJ who gets your vibe, shows up on time, and can actually read the room? 😅
From endless Google searches to 50+ unanswered emails (thanks for ghosting 🫠), it’s easy to get discouraged.

The struggle is REAL....but here’s the thing: when you find that DJ who nails your playlist, keeps the energy high, and gets everyone on the dance floor, it’s SO worth it. 🔥✨

Pro tip: Always ask for references, check reviews, and trust your gut! And never underestimate the power of a great DJ to turn your wedding from beautiful to unforgettable. 🙌🎶💃

The Decline of Courtesy in Hospitality: A DJ’s Perspective

The hospitality industry has always been about creating memorable experiences, as a DJ, my role is to provide the soundtrack to these moments, bringing joy to weddings, parties, and events. However, in recent years—particularly since the pandemic—I’ve noticed a worrying shift in behavior that’s affecting not just the industry but the people within it.

Patience has become a rare virtue, whether it’s impatience with staff at bars or a quick temper towards gentle reminders about venue rules, the hospitality sector has become a hotspot for tension. As someone on the front lines, I see this unfold in real time, and it’s deeply concerning.

The Impact of Alcohol on Behavior

It’s no secret that alcohol lowers inhibitions, but lately, it seems to do more than that, it often brings out an ignorance that leads to rule-breaking and, worse, mistreatment of staff. One of the most common issues I encounter is partygoers bringing drinks onto the dance floor, while it might seem harmless, the reality is quite different.

Spilled drinks can lead to sticky floors, damaged equipment, and, most dangerously, broken glass that could harm someone. When this happens, the party halts, the music stops, the lights come on, and the entire atmosphere collapses while the mess is cleaned up……It’s a buzzkill for everyone involved.

DJs Are the Messengers, Not the Enforcers

Here’s where the disconnect lies, as DJs, we are often tasked by venue management & owners to constantly remind guests of the rules, such as keeping drinks off the dance floor, but when we use the microphone to make these announcements, we’re sometimes met with hostility.

I’ve personally experienced being shouted at, ignored, or even insulted for simply doing what I’ve been asked to do, I t’s important to understand that DJs are not the enforcers; we’re messengers trying to ensure everyone has a good time without unnecessary interruptions.

A Simple Reminder Goes a Long Way

It’s worth taking a moment to consider the consequences of ignoring simple guidelines. Venues have these rules in place for good reasons—to protect their property, their staff, and their guests. When DJs step in with reminders, it’s not to nag or police the party; it’s to keep the celebration running smoothly.

Imagine a wedding where the first dance ends abruptly because of a spilled drink, or a birthday party that’s disrupted by broken glass. These moments can cast a shadow over what should be joyful occasions, and they’re entirely preventable with just a bit of cooperation and respect.

A Call for Change

The hospitality industry has faced unprecedented challenges in recent years, and those who work in it—from DJs to bartenders to waiting staff—are doing their best to make events special, but we can’t do it alone, we need a collective effort from everyone to bring back patience, kindness, and understanding.

So the next time you’re at a party or event, remember the people behind the scenes working to make it unforgettable. Follow the rules, treat staff with respect, and most importantly, enjoy yourself without creating problems for others. Together, we can bring back the spirit of celebration without conflict.

Let’s make hospitality hospitable again.
