3 tips for finding a DJ for a Multicultural Wedding
Do your homework
Your wedding will have a blend of people and unique cultures that will likely not be all together in one space ever again. It’s important that you get it right! Not every DJ can handle the musical and social challenge of 2 different strong cultural backgrounds.
Make sure your DJ has plenty of experience rocking parties for all types of crowds. Ask around, ask questions, research on Instagram and get referrals from wedding professionals.
Provide a list
Even if you hire the most talented, most dialed-in DJ, they’re still going to want to know the deep-cuts, the family jams, and songs that your extended family and friends love.
This list is essential to being able to bridge the cultural gap and build an experience that feels like home to both sides. It will help break down the barriers and allow them to cut loose on the dance floor!
Be Intentional
Guests, especially extended family or old friends you don’t see often, may not know what to expect at your wedding. Be open and intentional: Share your ideas that you want them to know about. Ask large groups coming from out of the country for their musical input.
Be clear with your DJ what you want to get out of the dance party and what your boundaries are. If there are traditions to be included, be sure to mention them so that the moments can be set up and live forever in film and on screen.
