🎤 The Things DJs Say Over the Mic (And What We’re Really Thinking)

Because behind every smooth announcement is a DJ screaming internally.

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

Being a wedding DJ means mastering the mic. We’re the voice that guides you through the night—from grand entrance to last call. But let’s be real: every time we speak into that mic, there’s a 50/50 chance we’re internally panicking, stifling a laugh, or trying very hard not to roast your drunk cousin.

So today, I’m pulling back the curtain and giving you the real translations of what we DJs say over the mic… and what we’re actually thinking behind the booth.

🎤 1. What We Say: “Ladies and gentlemen, let’s give it up for the new Mr. and Mrs.!”

What We’re Thinking:
Please clap. Seriously. Please clap.
That was 45 minutes of timeline shifting, one last-minute name update, and me whisper-screaming “WHERE IS THE GROOMSMAN WITH THE SPARKLERS?”

🎤 2. What We Say: “Dinner is now being served. We invite tables to come up one at a time.”

What We’re Thinking:
I’m begging you—don’t all rush the buffet like it’s Black Friday.
Yes, I see you, Table 9. You were told “wait,” and you just made eye contact while holding a bread roll.

🎤 3. What We Say: “Let’s keep this dance floor packed!”

What We’re Thinking:
If one more person asks me to play Nickelback during Crazy in Love, I’m pulling the fire alarm.

🎤 4. What We Say: “This next one’s for all the lovers out there…”

What We’re Thinking:
…because I just played five bangers in a row and people are visibly wheezing. This slow jam is for hydration and/or emotional regulation.

🎤 5. What We Say: “We’re taking guest song requests all night!”

What We’re Thinking:
…but not yours, Chad. If your request starts with “It’s not really a dance song, but…”—congrats, it’s a hard pass.

🎤 6. What We Say: “Let’s make some noise for the newlyweds!”

What We’re Thinking:
Please don’t just awkwardly woo. I need volume. I need hype. I need the energy of a WWE intro, not a polite PTA meeting.

🎤 7. What We Say: “Can we get the bridal party to the dance floor?”

What We’re Thinking:
…where are you people? I’m stalling. The dance floor is waiting. If you’re in the bathroom or vaping by the barn, I will find you.

🎤 8. What We Say: “We’re going to slow it down for just a minute…”

What We’re Thinking:
Your grandparents are adorable. The flower girl is getting trampled. Half the bridal party needs electrolytes. This is for survival.

🎤 9. What We Say: “We’re about to wrap things up with one final song…”

What We’re Thinking:
…which means I’m going to play three more songs, because none of you are leaving and someone just screamed “ENCORE” while holding a beer over my gear.

🎤 10. What We Say: “Thank you all for an amazing night!”

What We’re Thinking:
Please don’t request “Free Bird.”
Please don’t ask for just one more.
Please don’t spill anything while hugging me.

Also, I love you all… but I’m now deaf in one ear and emotionally drained from yelling over 37 guest-requested remixes.

🎧 Final Thought:

We may sound smooth on the mic, but trust me—we’re up there juggling timelines, crowd energy, five song requests, and someone’s rogue uncle trying to karaoke Pony.
