Why We Do 5 Hour Weddings
When we sit down to with clients for their consultation, the most asked question is, “how long will you be there?” It may come to a surprise to some people, but we don’t offer unlimited time for our weddings.
Why Only 5 Hour Weddings?
As a DJ, the sole purpose of our job is to provide musical entertainment for you and your guests. We are there to keep the party going and get people dancing. Keeping that in mind, our services only run for about five hours at a time. To be blunt, “unlimited time” is a total gimmick in our eyes. Most reception parties start around 6 o’clock and wind down around 9 or 10 o’clock. When was the last time you danced all night long? It’s a very rare occasion when five hours of entertainment is not enough for a wedding party.
Accidents Happen At Weddings
Another reason why we don’t offer unlimited time is because we don’t know what will happen once we get there. Issues can arise with the venue such as the air conditioner going out or a fire hazard. In Kansas City, Missouri, the weather is so unpredictable. Serious storms that could require an evacuation will result in us having to leave also. It doesn’t happen very often, but we have had to leave weddings early before in the past.
But on a less daunting note, there is usually at least one person at the reception who has a little too much to drink. Which is fine! It is a party after all. But even though we are hired by you, we take our safety very serious also. As the night goes on and guests drink more, things might get a little out of hand. With our five hour window, we can make sure that everyone is comfortable and the party goes smoothly.
