Why does a floor plan matter to a DJ? 🤔

This is one of the most common discussions and pain points among DJs.

There is a lot to consider here, but ultimately, there is a common consensus that DJs belong near dance floors. It seems logical, but ironically, more often than not, we are shuffled off to a corner or some awkward position so the cake can occupy a prime spot while we are forced to blast sound towards tables 4 and 6, or we are sometimes in a completely separate location from where the party is.

Yes, we have technology that allows us to put sound almost anywhere. However, we shouldn’t have to make ridiculous layouts work. Event professionals and venues should care about great outcomes for the couple and all their vendors. Layouts are a big part of it.

The truth is, at the end of the day, we do what we have to do. No contract requirements or agreement provisions are going to fix all layout problems. At the end of the day, we’ve got to make it work because that’s what we are paid to do.

That said…

There is a difference between seeing the dance floor and “feeling” like you’re part of the dance floor. This is why DJs push for a central location so hard.

There is a difference between looking at 90 people from a distance and feeling like part of the group. The little things shouted by the crowd, smiles, body language, pointing at us in approval, fist bumps, thumbs up, dance circles, or other unique moments happening on the dance floor may not be seen or felt because we aren’t where we should be—near the action.

This can impact the song choices we make, how we MC, or how we engage with your crowd. That’s why we care about layouts. It leads to better outcomes. It’s not about being the center of attention; it’s about making sure you and your guests are.
