The cocktail hour was your favorite playlist on a Bluetooth speaker. The reception was a club. The dance floor stayed packed. Sixty-plus weddings, no formula.
Most wedding DJs cycle through the same 200-track playlist. We mix the way we mix on a Friday night at Output — read the room, layer transitions, build the floor over forty minutes instead of thirty seconds.
The sneaky trick of a great wedding reception is structure: cocktails as warmup, dinner as breath, first dance as a hard reset, and then a real two-hour DJ set that builds and peaks instead of bouncing between requests.
Two-person crew on site four hours before doors. Rig built, soundcheck, talkback with the planner.
Wireless lavs and an aisle-pickup mic. Curated processional + recessional from your pre-event consult.
The "Bluetooth speaker" set — disco, edits, soul, R&B. Bedded under conversation but still danceable for the first early movers.
Volume comes down. Wireless mic for the toasts, ambient lighting wash on the room. We are reading the timeline against the kitchen.
The hard reset. First dance, parent dances, a 25-minute open-format opener that builds toward the floor's first peak.
Two hours of DJ-led floor. Open format unless you've requested otherwise. Layered transitions, bedded peaks, room reads in real time.
Final 30 minutes, then load-out. Recorded set delivered to your inbox by noon the next day.
Everything baseline is included in the $4,200 wedding package. The below are optional adds — quoted separately and itemized.
VJ on monitor or projection wall, live-synced to the audio. Custom visuals built for the night.
For receptions that need a 5- or 6-hour set. Booked in advance, not on the night-of.
Conga / bongo player on the cocktail and reception floor. The single highest-leverage upgrade.
White or black sprung dance floor, 16×16 baseline. Quoted by sq-ft for larger.
A 60-minute custom mixtape delivered as a wedding favor. Branded sleeve.
Live sax laid over the DJ set on cocktail hour or reception. Crowd's favorite.
