It’s very
important to understand your audience if you are a mobile DJ. For example, you
really don’t want to arrive at a hard rock wedding with only a disco mirrorball
and a Kylie Minogue record do you!? Yes this example is a bit extreme but you
catch our drift – Be very prepared for the wedding gig with BOTH the right
lighting and the right records. Never thought about the lighting in this way
before? Well we’re here to make sure that you understand that it’s not only the
records that a DJ plays that will affect the performance but also the lighting
too.
DJ Lighting crowd 1 – The Rocker style crowd
This is the
easiest crowd to set your DJ lighting up for. They want to see a band style
lighting set up. Plenty of Par Cans coupled together with a strobe or two and
make sure you have a lot of smoke effects. They’ll be happy with that, it’s
been proved over many years.
DJ Lighting crowd 2 – The modern young couple
If it’s a
modern young couple that are tying the knot then you’ll need to give them more
of a night club lighting experience. This is always quite easily achieved. There
are a number of DJ package lighting guides for you to check out that will help
you in selecting the kind of beginner dj equipment hat will get your younger
customers up and dancing and maybe even giving you a nice tip as well. This
will normally consist of laser lights, strobes, LED RGB lights that are DMX
controlled.
DJ Lighting crowd 2 – The older customers
So the last
example in this post on DJ lighting packages is when you may have an elderly
couple getting married. Do they want the
heavy strobe and smoke of the rock wedding or the nightclub style lighting? No
of course they don’t. What the elderly customers want is a more ambient set of
lighting with a classic mirrorball or
even light screens of yesteryear.
