Dress for Success

Yes, this is an old classic saying. But it couldn't be more true. If you are DJing a club, do you go in wearing a tuxedo,? No. So, if you are DJing a wedding reception you can't wear your favorite polo and call it a day.


A wedding is a formal occassion and hopefully our young couple will only have one of these occassions. So things you need to do to prepare:







  1. Shave. You can't go into the reception with a 5 o'clock shadow


  2. Iron your tuxedo shirt.


  3. Wear a tuxedo. Look over your tux before the gig. You may need to get it drycleaned.


  4. Wear cufflinks and shirt buttons. This might be a small detail. But it is a difference maker.


  5. Tuxedo shoes. It is not 1983, don't wear tennis shoes with your tux.


That's it. Have respect for the people you are working for. Do the right thing. If you do, you will be noticed and recommended.
