DJ who can mix tracks for a wedding

[dinkdankdo10 10]

Hi, I am looking for a DJ to play at our wedding but dont want a run of a mill DJ who plays CDs with lots lights, smoke machines and who talks over the tracks.

 

I am looking for someone who can mix the tracks (not necessary dance) and add samples, extra beats etc.

 

can anyone help ???

Thanks

It is of course up to you but I've seen wedding where 'specialist' DJ have been employed.

I've yet to hear of one that was enjoyed by the guests.

I've been given strict play lists before and watched the people leave the room in a biblical rush.

 

Remember the wedding is a party and one attended by a mixed bag of people.

 

Up to you but the reception is the bit your guests will remember.

thanks but I am not looking for someone to play dance music. I am looking for someone to play the usual stuff but mixing it in and dropping bits in after a chorus etc..... heard it at another wedding and it was unreal !
