The 5 R’s - Why you need a Four Folk DJ at your wedding:
Whether you are looking to sing at the top of your lungs to “Girls Just Want to Have Hun” by Cyndi Lauper, get your shuffle on with “Party Rock Anthem” by LMFAO, sway with your loved one to Ed Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud” or break out the crowd pleasers with the wedding classic “YMCA” by the Village People, the entertainment you and your partner choose for your wedding reception can be make or break.
When it comes to planning your wedding reception, making sure you and your guests enjoy the night is crucial. Music is all about creating a vibe and you want to make sure that only good vibes get the invitation to the party. That’s why having an experienced DJ at your wedding is a great option.
Now it may be tempting to give the title “DJ” to your Uncle Joe or your next-door neighbour Gen Z’er that claims to “know what the kids like”, or even leave it to chance with a Spotify playlist, but it only takes one bad song to clear the dancefloor and ruin a good time. We reckon you’re much better off going with an experienced Four Folk DJ to get the party pumping, and to prove it, here are our 5 R’s about why you should hire a professional for the soundtrack of the biggest day of your life.
Read the room
This is one thing that a Spotify playlist will never be able to do for you. Arguably one of the most important skills of a good DJ is one who knows how to read the crowd and compliment the mood. It is a skill developed with experience - and our in-house DJ’s have been hand-picked because they know what they’re doing. A Four Folk DJ will know when to play the songs that gets everyone up out of their seat for a boogie, or the slow romantic couple songs, old school classics that your granny will love, the sing-along songs (did someone say “I Want it That Way” by the Backstreet Boys?), and even the Macarena! And if your crowd isn’t vibing with a particular song or genre, our Four Folk DJs have the skill and technique to transition songs without any awkward pauses or skips so your dance floor will never skip a beat!
Right Gear
Let us help you take something off your ever-growing wedding planning list. When you hire a Four Folk DJ we provide a full service - our Four Folk Packages come with a sound system, decks, speakers, microphones and dance floor lighting. No need to worry about whether your speaker will be loud enough for all of your guests to hear your beats, or if you are getting the right microphone for your speaker - we will handle it, we will even set up and pack down for you! No need to worry - we have your back.
Requests
We understand that everybody’s taste is different, and there is a no better feeling than shaking your booty with your best friend to that song you both love, so our Four Folk DJs welcome requests. They have a wide range of music at their fingertips ranging from the latest Top 40 to the old school classics to keep any age group dancing all night.
You can also be as involved as you like with the music played in the lead up to the wedding. We love it when couples send through a playlist or music suggestions so that your DJ can base their setlist around your vibe. Also feel free to send us “Do not play” lists as we understand these are just as important as the “Do play” lists (some people really love “Wagon Wheel”, some people don’t!). You can rely on us to handle these requests with the utmost professionalism.
PRO TIP: wanting to put together a list of songs that your guests will want to hear? Pop a “Song Request” section in your RSVPs for your wedding!
Reliability
Traditionally DJs are notorious for being a bit loose - they might even show up late or pull out altogether! Luckily for you, hiring a DJ from Four Folk gives you security and peace of mind, because our team of DJs offer a professional, well presented service. In the unlikely event that your DJ can’t make it - we’ll have another Four Folk DJ able to jump in. Like we said we want to make sure you have the best day ever!
