Do you think DJing a wedding differs in any way from a regular DJ set - and if so, how? - or do the core principles remain the same?
The core principles of reading the room and keeping the crowd on your side remain when playing any DJ set. But at weddings you can really let your hair down and experiment with a vast amount of genres, and I find the fun in doing that a lot more than you would at a regular bar or club set. You can switch from rock to hip-hop to soul within a matter of minutes at a wedding.
