What should a dj wear to a wedding

I just think that due to all the demands of a DJ that that is going somewhat overboard, just as the dj showing up wearing blue jeans and t-shirt would be under dressed. What are your thoughts. I think the DJ should wear at least dress pants, a dress shirt and a I tie. Wearing a suit and a tie is not going to take away from the wedding party any more than any other guest wearing a suit and a tie, but wearing a polo shirt WILL because you'll stick out like a sore thumb by being dressed too casually.

And why are you so concerned about people thinking you're a guest? Besides, I think they'll figure out pretty quickly that you're the DJ when they see you behind the DJ table.

I understand your need for comfort while setting up and tearing down, but at least change shirts for the reception. How much hard labour are you doing once the reception starts that would make wearing a dress shirt constrictive?

Once everything is set up all you're doing is DJing, not moving cinder blocks lol. Most guys I know dress casual during setup when nobody's around and then change clothes before the reception.

I think the reason no one has said anything to you up until now is that wearing a polo shirt is not disastrous so most people wouldn't say anything, but that doesn't mean it's appropriate.

I think they just don't have the heart to tell you that you're underdressed. Maybe in your area weddings are more casual but where I'm from the DJs always wear at least a dress shirt and tie, or a suit. If we want to be taken seriously as professionals then we have to look the part. If it's warm then no suit jacket so just smart trousers and shirt.

When I see a photographer wearing a T-shirt I think it looks a little strange, hell, even the bar staff in most venues wear shirts! To be honest, i don't think many people care, you're just the DJ after all.

When the party gets going you do become a bit more of a focal point and I don't think I'd really feel in the party mood to party if I was wearing a polo shirt. I could see myself wearing a blue, red, green,etc dress shirt and tie to match the wedding colors. Just no white shirt! LOL This area is casual and a jacket or tux might be a bit too much. Being a cool inner city Melbourne venue, Rupert normally attracts couples and vendors with style!

The classy winery venue Coombe Estate in Yarra Valley calls for a classy affair! Want to see more of this wedding? Some dress codes are a semi-formal type of vibe! You can read about this real wedding for Georgia and George. Botanical wonderland Glasshaus Inside in Richmond is full of lush greenery. See Eddy rocking a more casual open shirt, jacket ad chino combo below — the choice of light blue was deliberately made to complement the dark green surrounds.

Just stick to your beliefs and you will look drop-dead gorgeous. When you have an important gala event, photo-shooting, celebrity show, or matinee during the day, you must dress elegant and luxurious.

On the other hand, if you were to DJ in a club, a simple pair of flats or fashionable sneakers will do the trick. Stunning ballerina flats, or moccasins, will help you dance and stand all night as you DJ. To look cool and send inspiring vibes to your audience, wear whatever makes you feel comfortable but at the same time unique.
