Syracuse Wedding DJ - Geoff Herbert

Thumbs up for wedding photographers! 👍📸💍

As a DJ who’s done nearly 500 weddings in Syracuse and Upstate NY, I’ve worked with many different photographers. I know how important it is to coordinate with them on the schedule, announcements and formalities, as well as making sure to create great moments on the dancefloor for them to capture.

And while I put in a lot of hard work before and on the day of a wedding, I know that their job doesn’t end until they finish editing and curating all those gorgeous photos afterwards. So please, say thank you and high-five a wedding photographer the next time you see one!

Payola? A fun twist on the Dollar Dance at weddings is a Pay-to-Play list - guests can donate $$ to the couple’s honeymoon fund and hear some silly songs.

Lumos! Love the floating candles at Mara & Matthew’s wedding.

The only magic I can do is playing great music, but I try to put on an invisibility cloak to stay out of photos during the First Dance. (Here I’m hiding behind the DJ table.) ⚡️❤️

Wedding tip: Invite your favorite people!

This may seem obvious, but when making a guest list couples often feel obligated to invite extended family members or work colleagues, which sometimes means fewer friends. If you can invite them all, go for it, but if you can’t, choose the people you love the most that will make the party truly fun and memorable.

Wedding DJ tip: On hot days, play a few more slow songs than usual. Give people time to catch their breath, cool off and keep smiling all night. 🎵☀️

WEDDING VENUES - Here are 3 questions every couple should ask before booking their venue / DJ:

1. Where is the dancefloor?

If the DJ isn't near the dancefloor, it's less likely people will dance. (It's also more likely grandma will be sitting in front of a speaker, complaining about the volume.)

2. Is there a volume limit?

Some venues have decibel restrictions for DJs / bands, especially if they're in a hotel or an outdoor space with noise ordinances. (Remember: Guests cheering/singing along adds to volume too!)

3. What does the lighting look like at different times during the event?

If there are windows, then it'll look bright/different with daylight. At night, if there are no dimmers or twinkle lights, you may only have two options during dancing: Bright lights or super dark. Ask your DJ about uplighting, which can splash different colors around the room to match your vibe, flowers, bridesmaids' dresses, etc.

BONUS QUESTION: Does the venue have its own sound system?

Honestly, it doesn't matter in most cases. DJs should still plan on using their own speakers, because house systems are often quieter and more suited to background music than announcements, speeches and dancing.

I love being a .

"DJ DeafGeoff is the best wedding DJ you can ask for. His booking process and pre-event practices are detailed yet simple and quick. During the big day he was professional, quick to act and adapt based on the guests and mood. Three of our guests (who have attended multiple weddings) all shared that they believed Geoff to be the BEST wedding DJ they have ever worked with / experienced. Most of all, his smile and personality make him an exceptional 'plus one' to your wedding/event. I would work with Geoff 100 times over and if I ever need another DJ, I'm calling him first." - Sahara & Chris
