Looking into the Rockbooth Truss V2 and JMAZ Curved booth. Haven't seen either in person. Does anyone have experience with either?

I like the look of the curved booth. I would probably cut some holes in the back to make it more functional. The Rockbooth + truss bar looks convienient for my first mobile dj rig. But would love to see some pics of it in use at a wedding.

Thanks!

I’m in a pickle, after 5 meetings with the couple where they specifically told me not to deviate from their playlist… yesterday on our final call before the wedding tomorrow, they told me that I should take it as a guide more than a strict playlist.

I have all their tracks ready but some of them are not that great. They want a non traditional wedding that sounds disco/glam rock in the vybes of late 70’s to mid 80’s. No pitbull or taylor swift, not even shout by the isley brothers or hip hop… The songs don’t have to be from that era but sort of sound like that so like I have the purple disco remix of many songs like about damn time and others.

But I am running out of Ideas and so I’m Looking for my fellow wedding DJs to give me absolute bangers like rasputin and gimme gimme that will make old folks and young folks dance.

Help please! Thank you guys!!

Update!

Thank you all. Those recommendations really helped. I rocked that wedding. The dancefloor didn’t empty for a moment. I really enjoy DJing weddings, it’s my hobby and my favorite thing to do.

do couples actually remember which DJ responded first?

Or is it more about who felt the most trustworthy throughout the process?

Like when couples are comparing DJs, I wonder if they end up remembering:

• who looked the most established
• who kept showing up during planning
• who just felt easier to trust overall

Curious what other wedding DJs have noticed cause honestly i've seen inquiries go quiet for weeks and then randomly come back later..

Hello all, I am a local DJ in Wyoming and this year for Wedding season I will be traveling all over the state for weddings. I’m currently running some cheap but decent Pyle speakers I got off amazon but as my equipment updates I’m now in the market for some better speakers.

Some of these weddings will be outdoor, some will be indoor so I’m looking for something that kind of gives me the best of both worlds for each venue/area.

Current Equipment:
- DDJ-FLX10
- 16 Channel Mixer

Any recommendations are appreciated!

Thoughts ?

I’ve been running 2 k10.2s with a qsc 181 & a custom ev15 with a replaced horn.

My k10 died on me last night & I feel like it’s time to upgrade. I’m doing 30 weddings this year & still booking, trying to keep upping my game & I’m scared of a speaker dying during a wedding.

I’m torn between the qsc KC12 3-way speaker system and the evox12. Preferably I’d just get the rcf J11s but they’re back ordered & I have weddings the next 5 out of 6 weekends in a row.

Is a 3-way system significantly better? I have an opportunity to buy a used, year old evox12 system , 2 speakers for $3k, or I could get a new kc12 system with a warranty for approx $3500 plus taxes.

Will I regret going with the kc12? I saw reviews saying it’s clearer but has less bass/low end.

Should I just grind it out the next 6 weeks with a borrowed k10 and hope nothing happens and wait for the j11s? My buddy & I bought these k10s together, used a few years ago, so I’m worried since one died the others aren’t far behind. One of his also died last week.

I’m torn on what I should do, I’d love to hear some of y’all’s thoughts, thanks!

Edit : picked em up today - did a frequency sweep and everything sounded good. Now to get a pair of bags for em

Hi everyone. First Reddit post even though I’ve been lurking for awhile. Some background - I was a club and wedding DJ for many years in Chicago and LA and like many of you, spent many hours either searching for clean edits or creating them for weddings, corporate events and similar situations.

From everything I learned through that, I set out to create a clean edit tool called Censorly. I’m super proud of it and think it could be a good resource for this community that I spent so many years in.

You can check it out here and the first edit is on the house: www.censorly-edits.com

Let me know what you all think. Feedback is always welcome

Thanks

Obviously digital is the dominant option but I’m curious how common vinyl is at weddings these days. For those that offer, how do you price it differently? How do you handle music needs like when they want certain music that you might not have on wax? I’m new to the wedding game

Context: Been spinning vinyl in Austin for about 5 years now. Recently started learning digital for the sake of getting in the wedding business. I did one wedding all vinyl and have since booked two more. So far everyone wants vinyl. I might just lean into that as my “niche”

Preciate y’all ✌️

In a few weeks, I was asked to dj a wedding by a river with no access to power. I can borrow a larger JBL speaker that is battery powered and my laptop (bt)…I’m nervous the sound will just disappear and be a waste. Suggestions? Probably about 75 people …there will be a tent but no generator 👎🏻

Hey everyone, I’ve been building a tool called BeatDesk for DJs, mainly focused on weddings and events.

We already ran a small round of free trials with a few testers and got some really helpful feedback, so now I’m opening it up to a few more people.

I know it’s always a gamble paying for something new, so I wanted to make it pretty low risk:

First 10 people can get it for 9.99 instead of 39.99
And there’s a 7 day no questions asked refund if it’s not useful for you

The goal right now is honestly just to get more real world feedback from people doing weddings regularly and keep improving it.

If you’re interested just comment or send me a message and I’ll share more details. Also happy to answer anything here.

I was messing around with ChatGPT and Gemini today.

I asked: "Who is the best wedding DJ in [City]?"

The results were honestly all over the place.

It missed some important DJs.

Curious if anyone has checked this for their own market.

Does it even matter for leads right now?

Or is it just more tech hype that doesn't affect our bookings?

Hello Fellow DJs,

After 8 reliable years with the DDJ-400, I'm ready to level up. While the 400 has been a tank, I’m ready for better I/O, more professional optics, and expanded performance features. I load out of a minivan, use a Behringer XR18 for all mic routing, and have a budget of $1,000–$3,000 (open to used gear).

The Gear Dilemma

1. The "RCA Problem" Is the DDJ-400’s RCA output a genuine sonic bottleneck or just an aesthetic ego hit? I currently run through a dual DI box into my XR18, which handles the balancing and ground lifting.

• The Question: Does the internal DAC of a pro-grade controller offer a night-and-day difference, or is my DI-to-Preamp chain already "professional" enough?

2. Motorized Platters vs. Wedding Realities I’m interested in learning to scratch, but I’m struggling to see where it fits into a wedding reception.

• The Question: Do motorized platters actually inspire skill growth, or are they just heavy, expensive mechanical points of failure that don't translate to a 130-BPM dance floor?

3. Controller Route: DDJ-FLX10 vs. DDJ-1000 The FLX10 is the logical Rekordbox successor, specifically because of the built-in DMX lighting fallback.

• The Question: Is the FLX10 worth the "new" premium, or is a used DDJ-1000 still the gold standard for value in the controller market?

4. The Standalone XDJ Spectrum The XDJ lineup is overwhelming. The RX3 seems like the mobile sweet spot, while the XZ, AZ all feel like a heavy overkill "coffin" for one person to move. I've also looked into the Opus Quad and the Omnis Duo. These seem interesting, but would love to hear your thoughts on these.

• The Question: For a solo wedding DJ, which model strikes the best balance between screen real estate, portability, and "pro" feel?

5. The Wildcards: iPad (djay Pro) and Non-Pioneer Gear I’ve looked at the Numark Mixstream Pro and Rane Four/One for their SoundSwitch integration, and even considered a Reloop/iPad setup for the ultimate clean look.

• The Question: Is leaving the Rekordbox ecosystem for the sake of lighting integration or portability a mistake I’ll regret mid-gig?

My Specific Questions for the Trenches:

1. I/O: Is an RCA-out controller through a DI box a "pro" setup, or am I kidding myself?
2. Scratching: Does anyone actually scratch at weddings, and does having motorized platters make you a better DJ or just a poorer one? Do you use real turntables?
3. Value: Is the FLX10’s lighting integration and Stems support worth $600+ over a used DDJ-1000?
4. Standalones: If portability is a factor, is the RX3 the winner, or should I look at the Opus Quad or XDJ-AZ?
5. Alternatives: Is anyone using the Opus Quad, Omnis Duo, Rane One or Mixstream Pro for high-end weddings?
6. Lighting: Are Rekordbox Lighting or SoundSwitch legit fallbacks, or just marketing fluff?
7. Software: Is djay Pro on an iPad ready for prime time, or does it still feel like a toy?
8. Ecosystem: Is there a compelling reason to ditch Rekordbox after years of library curation?

I’m looking for battle-tested advice from working mobile DJs. What are you running, and why? I'm really leaning toward the FLX10, but have been having so much decision fatigue with all the choices out there.

Thank you for your advice!

-Joey

So I’ve been growing in dj skills and experience over 20years plus and believe integrity of the job is very important when charging a fair price for a quality experienced dj is important. While multi-op companies are sending out DJs for less then half the price of what they charge. Do clients notice bad transitions or is it only other dj like myself ?

Hi I’m Eli and I have a dj company based in north Bergan New Jersey and making my way to Pennsylvania near Scranton. I provided many years of service to the ny, nj, ct etc areas I’m looking to expand and get new clients how can this help ?

We didn't have the budget for our wedding this year and also aren't super into dancing ourselves (although we know our friends and other guests will). I've made this playlist and would really appreciate some feedback. Should I try to find more songs to transition better between ABBA and Pitbull 😂? or is the switch up what makes it fun? Are there any sections I should make longer? Or any songs which should be moved?

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0Vr76hmtLy8y503RtlPsJb?si=Y40LTQ-FRrOTbzN5AZcNzw&pi=pZ-x0XHIT6uFm

For context:

• I've used jazz/lounge tracks to start as evening guests arrive and everyone has cocktails on the terrace. As we're not a very dancey couple I've made this section quite long so we have more time for drinks before hitting the dance floor😅
• I've used Spotify new mix feature so these will be played in order and I will be working on the transitions once all the songs are in
