🎧 I’m Not Just Pressing Play—Here’s What I Actually Do All Night

Because this isn’t a middle school sleepover with a boombox and a burned CD.

Thank you for reading this post, I look forward to hearing from you soon!  :-)

Let’s get one thing straight:
Yes, I’m standing behind a table full of buttons, knobs, and glowing lights.
Yes, I look calm, cool, and collected.
But no, I’m not “just pressing play.”

In fact, if all I did was press play, your wedding would sound like a Spotify ad every three songs and end in Aunt Carol rage-requesting Michael Bublé at 6:45pm.

So allow me to pull back the curtain and give you a peek into what your wedding DJ (hi, it’s me, Loren 👋) is actually doing while the dance floor stays packed, the vibe stays flawless, and you think everything’s just magically happening.

Spoiler: it’s not magic. It’s multi-tasking.

🧠 1. Reading the Room Like a Mind-Reading Sorcerer

Every second I’m on that stage, I’ve got one eye on the crowd and one ear in the music.
Are people vibing or politely swaying like it’s a middle school slow dance?

If a song drops and energy dips, I pivot faster than a bridesmaid in 4-inch heels.
I don’t play the playlist. I play the room.

It’s part psychology, part performance, and part “do these people want ABBA or 90s hip-hop right now?”

Answer: Both. Back-to-back. With a flawless transition.

📝 2. Running Your Timeline Like a Stage Manager in a Headset

Think your wedding planner is the only one with the schedule?
Cute.

Behind the booth, I’m tracking every cue:

• ✅ Grand entrance? Ready.

• ✅ First dance? Queued.

• ✅ Bouquet toss, cake cutting, surprise serenade from the groom’s fraternity brothers? Already in motion.

I’m communicating with your photographer, videographer, coordinator, bartender (okay, that one’s for hydration), making sure your night flows smoother than a Bruno Mars slow jam.

And when things don’t go to plan? I adjust mid-beat and no one even notices.

Because I’m not just DJing. I’m orchestrating the vibe.

🔀 3. Live Mixing Like a Jedi DJ Ninja

You think I just hit play on a Spotify playlist labeled “Bangers 2025?”
No ma’am.

I’m beat-matching. Layering. Mixing. Adjusting tempos on the fly.
I’m blending “Can’t Stop the Feeling” into “Yeah!” into “September” into a custom request for the couple’s inside joke anthem from their third date—and it all sounds seamless.

Meanwhile, I’m making sure:

• The transitions hit right

• The drops actually drop

• And your mom’s not yelling “TOO LOUD” from her seat near the speaker

Basically: I’m doing math, art, and improv comedy… at the same time.

🎤 4. MC-ing Without Being “That Guy”

We’ve all heard “that wedding DJ” who sounds like a game show host hopped up on Red Bull.
Not here.

I’m guiding your night with the perfect balance of charm, clarity, and exactly zero cheesy catchphrases.

I:

• Announce entrances

• Cue up toasts

• Hyping the crowd at the exact right moments

• Keep the energy up without stealing the spotlight

Think: professional host energy meets favorite cousin who knows how to pronounce everyone’s name correctly on the first try.

🧯 5. Emergency Vibe Control

Someone spilled wine?
The power flickered?
A guest tried to plug their phone into my controller and play Cotton Eye Joe: Dubstep Remix?

Crisis mode activated.
I’ve got backup plans. Backup cables. Backup songs.
I once restarted an entire ceremony playlist mid-processional without breaking a sweat—while smiling and nodding at the flower girl like nothing was happening.

I don’t just press play. I press pause on chaos.

Final Thought:

When you book a wedding DJ, you’re not hiring a human jukebox.
You’re hiring the coordinator of fun, the guardian of flow, the curator of vibes, and the only vendor who’s with you from “Please rise” to “Last call for the shuttle.”

So next time someone says, “Don’t DJs just press play?”
Feel free to laugh, sip your champagne, and say:

“Only the boring ones. Mine runs the show.”
