the ceremony is the whole reason you’re here. and the music? it’s what makes people tear up. what gives you goosebumps when you hear that first note. what makes the moment feel real.
at The Wedding DJ Man of NYC, we don’t treat the ceremony like an afterthought. we set up early, we plan every second, and we make sure the sound and music are locked before the first guest even sits down.
you pick the songs – or we help you build them. we’ll walk you through each part:
pre-ceremony (as guests arrive)
processional (walking down the aisle)
entrance (bride, groom, or both)
mid-ceremony background (if needed)
recessional (walking out)
we don’t just hit play. we cue each track at the perfect moment, fade the volume just right, and make sure the transitions feel natural. no awkward stops. no fumbling. no “wait is it starting?” moments.
we bring a full second sound system just for the ceremony. this means we’re not dragging the same speaker back and forth between spaces. we set up wireless mics for the officiant, groom, and if needed – a handheld mic for readers or vows.
you don’t want guests in the back straining to hear your vows. or the officiant yelling. we make sure every word is crisp, clear, and smooth. we use lapel mics (those little ones that clip on), and we test everything ahead of time.
one time in Central Park, we had a pop-up style wedding. couple told us two days before. no power, no planner. we pulled up with a battery-powered speaker, wireless mic, and the bride walked in to “Can’t Help Falling in Love.” tourists stopped and watched. sounded perfect.
another in Greenpoint, rooftop ceremony – windy day. officiant had a soft voice. our lapel mic cut through it all. every guest heard the vows. no static. no feedback. bride’s grandma hugged us after.
in the Bronx, we mic’d up a trio of readers doing custom poetry. each got a separate mic so they didn’t have to pass anything around. we faded the background music under their voices like it was a podcast.
this ain’t just about equipment. it’s about peace of mind. when you walk down that aisle, you shouldn’t be wondering if the speaker works. or if your guests can hear. or if the music’s playin’ the wrong part of the song.
you should be in the moment. and with us on it? you will be.
we make your ceremony feel like a scene from a film – soft music, clean audio, smooth transitions – no stress, no surprises. it sounds like love.
