Handing Your Party Over to the DJ

Being a DJ comes with great responsibility - it is so much more that just playing music. It is an art and should be approached with care and precision.
Recently I coordinated and entertained at a wedding in Jamestown, Rhode Island. The MOB (Mother of the Bride) was extremely nervous about the guests' enjoyment. She said there was an older crowd who would prefer to sit all night rather than be on the dance floor dancing.
I proceeded to tell her that this was a common concern and with the right planning and coordination, we will make the best out of any situation. Good thing DJ's come with a bag of tricks! With a fun game and thoughtful instruction, I was able to get the whole party on the dance floor, Grandma included, the entire night.
Here is what she sent me the morning after the wedding:
"Absolutely awesome job. You'll certainly get some future jobs from this. Everyone loved the trick you used to get us up on the dance floor and kept us there all night. I've never seen some of our friends dance that much!"
