Ipods are a nice when listening to your music in the office, your car, through a headset but are they good for entertaining at your wedding? Since the advent of the Ipod, I have only heard one bride say that she went to a Utah wedding where there was no Utah DJ but used an ipod and it was successful. I talk to photographers that attend weddings where Ipods are connected and they say that they don't work for getting guests up on the dance floor. Ipods are nice if you only want background music, however, if you want your specialty items announced such as your cake cutting, bouquet toss, garter toss, first dance, father daughter dance, dollar dance, introduction of the bride and groom, toasts, etc. you may also want a trained DJ/MC with at least 3 years of experience helping you to make your wedding a success. A trained DJ/MC can transition the music for each item of the night as well as make classy announcements making you look like a star on your wedding day. The alternative would be to have your aunt, mother, or even yourself yelling across the room, "It's time to cut the cake"! How classy is that? A trained DJ in Utah or other cities can be your announcer, coordinator, DJ, party motivator, and lighting technician. I understand that many brides these days are on a tighter budget than usual, especially brides in Utah, where I'm from. You could also rent some professional DJ equipment and have a friend make the announcements for you. Professional DJs with little experience are bad enough, but try using a friend with little or no experience. He will not only make himself look bad but will make you look bad in the process. By time time it's all said and done you will look back at all the hassle and all the money you spent trying to save money and say, "I should have hired a professional DJ". On your wedding day, it's all about making your day perfect. Don't make your wedding day a disaster by trying to do it yourself or by having a friend do it.

I DJ in Utah and most DJs around here have a master list of his songs for you to go over that are in his collection. Ask your DJ if he has one. Your DJ can play in between 65 and 75 songs within a 4 hour period. You may not want to pick all of the songs to be played during that time period. Although, some brides do. This can be time consuming and your selection may or may not be pleasing to your guests. Some brides will give the DJ a list of many songs that they want to hear but instruct the DJ to use his discretion to keep people dancing. Most brides pick some songs to be played during dinner and/or during the reception but have the DJ take song requests from the guests as well to ensure they are also listening and dancing to what they want to hear. In addition, the DJ can use his experience to "tune in" to what will get your guests up on the dance floor. Some brides leave it all up to the DJ and would rather not have the hassle of picking music either because they are not very musically inclined or other reasons.
