We had Ed DJ our wedding and our guests had an absolute blast! Ed was very easy to communicate with leading up to the wedding, and goes through all the minute details with you. We created a playlist for the night, but when the dance floor opened up we realized not many people were dancing because our music selection didn’t have enough of a “party” vibe (it was a lot of country which was not our guests’ cup of tea). But Ed was able to switch gears and play ONLY party songs when I asked him to scratch our plan, and the dance floor came alive!
The only detail that I wish would’ve gone smoother were COVID protocols. Our venue required masks to be worn by vendors all night, and we also had quite a few guests who requested this. We had assured them our vendors would stay masked. I did agree with Ed that while he was at his booth he did not need to wear a mask, but there were several instances throughout the night when he left his booth mask-less (i.e. lining us up for the grand entrance, coming on to the dance floor to encourage his to sing and dance). Per museum policy, our guests are not required to wear a mask for our reception; I also asked all of our guests beforehand if they were vaccinated, of which 99% were, and informed all guests of this info so they felt comfortable not wearing a mask at our reception. So, our Covid-sensitive guests did not wear one since they were assured vendors (who may or may not be vaccinated) would wear them in close proximity. I had quite a few guests express this concern with me afterwards that Ed came on our dance floor mask-less and that they had to therefore walk away to keep a distance.
Long story short, I recommend hiring Ed if you don't have strict Covid protocols. Otherwise, perhaps hire All Access DJ and request for a DJ who is able to adhere to guidelines.
