He is one of our favorite DJs in France and he is answering here a few frequently asked questions for you… What are the moments of a wedding day for which the couple could or should choose a specific tune? The main moments of the day are: • The entrance of the bride and groom in the dining space. If the couple would like a musical entrance we can of course make it a memorable moment for them and their guests, that will set the tone of the evening. • The second key moment would be the first danse, which will be launching the dancing party. It is a moment that reflects the couple and conveys lots of emotions. • We can also plan a special music for the presentation of the wedding cake. “C’est si Bon” could be a good choice! What are the lighting possibilities to enhance the beauty of our venue at night and our decor ? We can embellish your event through various decorative or technical options : • Aesthetical lighting of your event : around the tables, above the tables to bring a special light on your centre pieces, artchitectural lighting of the venue • Decoration : Lounge furniture, screen to project your event as it unfolds, stage and stage backdrop, dressing of rooms and spaces… We are also able to create bespoke furniture, for example a bar to your colours or with your monogram on… Do we need a Deejay even though we already have a live band? Another option is to create a musical recall to announce each speech, a bit like a jingle so the guests know something is coming. Yes, a Deejay is essential for the second part of the evening as your band will only play for 2 to 3 hours. Also a Deejay can play any type of music and the latest hits you and your guests will expect : Rock, Disco, House, Latino… 100% Night Fever! What style of music choose to make sure all of our guests have fun? What is the first dance song you hear the most or like the best? For us at Discotecnik, the Deejay must sprinkle his set with some fun and personal tunes chosen by the bride and groom, all in a smooth blend of technique and control of the musical repertoire. Short and varied musical series express themselves through back-andforths of different decades (80’s, 60’s, 70’s, 90’s,…), mixing the tunes everyone knows, from all generations. Glory of Love by Otis Redding and At Last by Etta James are ones I am frequently asked to play. In a more contemporary style, You and I by Michael Blublé has the first place in the charts… But why not try a poetical moment with And I Love Him by Esther Phillips? What original musical entertainment do you offer ? Contact : We can offer a Live Deejay performance bringing a real show on the dancefloor. Sax, percussion, singer… anything is possible ! Another possibility is to have a live band for the start of the evening, followed by a Deejay performance until the little hours.
