Don’t iPod DJ Your Own Wedding!

A new trend that’s often talked about on “weddings on a shoe-string” websites is using the iPod to DJ your own wedding.

PLEASE DON’T DO IT! It’s a clumsy and wholly inappropriate tool for the job at hand. You have a gap between tracks which, coupled with a 10 second fade out on lots of contemporary songs, can leave your guests standing around the dance-floor like lemons.

If you’re thinking of going the DIY route, use iTunes or some other kind of DJ software on a laptop. This provides a far easier means of searching a database of songs and allows for changing playlists on the go.

You’ll then have to rent a top-quality sound system. The home stereo that sounds deafening in your lounge just won’t cut it in a large hall. Then there’s the venue in-house sound system that you might think is a good idea. It is not! Ceiling speakers are for elevator music.

Believe us, your wedding day is no time for fumbling with wires, speakers and iPods – you’re supposed to be enjoying yourselves!

We believe that iPods are great for background music between a band’s live sets or while you’re guests are eating. For that, they are invaluable.

Simply Swing’s Band and Disco Service

For our disco it’s a professional DJ program everytime. It’s run from a laptop computer and plays through our state-of-the-art Bose L1 sound system.

Brought to you at a fraction of the cost of an outside DJ – this is the way to DJ your “Wedding on a shoe-string”.

The weekend of 26th, 27th and 28th June proved to be the mid-summer ‘hot’ weekend with two events in

Wedding Band and Disco

Kent and one in West Sussex. It was good to be back at The Blazing Donkey in Sandwich, Kent for a summer ball followed by two great weddings.

Once again our Auto Disco Service proved a huge success at both the weddings. After the band performed it’s usual live sets, we ran the disco service through our PA system for the last hour of both Linda & Barry’s wedding and Pippa & James’ wedding. We have been offering this service for about two years now and it’s popularity is ever increasing. It’s such a cost effective option for people who want a swing band but know that many of their guests will be expecting a disco. We offer this at a fraction of the price of booking an outside DJ and we use exactly the same professional disco program as they do too!
