Hello Planners!!!
DJ Lucas London here. I’m thrilled to be working with you and look forward to creating a memorable and enjoyable day for our shared couple. Collaboration is key!
Do I have any food preferences?
I do prefer vegan options if they exist and are calorically significant. (I need more than iceberg lettuce) but otherwise surprise me! I am happy with everything. Chicken, steak, fish etc.
Do you need a timeline of events, or will you create one with us?
I have a musical timeline that I provide to every bride and groom. It’s a Google Doc they fill out, allowing us to dive into fine details. I cross-check their timeline with yours to ensure everything aligns perfectly. I’ll also ensure you have a copy. If you don’t already, let me know, and I’ll add you to the document!
What time will I be arriving?
I plan to arrive 4 hours before guests begin arriving. If you can share when that is, we’ll use that as my arrival time.
When will you perform sound checks?
Sound checks are quick—no more than 10 minutes—and ideally, I’ll complete them about 1 hour before guests arrive to ensure everything is perfect.
Do I need a table?
No thank you! I have my own set up. Please take a moment to check it out here
Do you have any layout requirements?
Yes, my equipment needs to be centrally located directly on the dance floor—not in a corner or off to the side. Dead center placement ensures the best energy and engagement. I discuss this with every bride and groom before booking, and they understand the benefits of this arrangement. They are expecting this setup and have authorized me to make adjustments if necessary. I am happy to collaborate on possible ideas and I’ll bet we can come up with something great. If I’m not already centrally located let’s schedule a call to talk about it.
How will you coordinate with other vendors, like the photographer, videographer, or caterer?
Aside from you, I do actively communicate with the photo + video crews to ensure we are landing shots and that they are ready for the various event transitions. I don’t typically communicate with catering or the venue as much.
Power requirements?
I need at least one 15amp dedicated circuit. This is simply one standard outlet. The same as you’d find at your own house. A 20amp is better but a 15 amp will do the trick. This does need to be dedicated though. No string lights or heating lamps etc on the same circuit. In the event of a generator being implemented, I need it to be an inverter generator. This is very important. A standard generator is not suitable for fine electronics.
Do you take breaks?
I do not. Once we start the wedding I’m there from start to finish. Other than a quick vendor meal!
Is there anything else you need from us before the wedding day?
Honestly, the most important thing to me about a wedding day is creating the right vibe. I am 100% at your service and here to support you in any way I can. This approach applies to every wedding I do—it’s all about teamwork. The less stress we create for each other, the happier the day feels, and that positivity translates into a great experience for the couple and their guests. Which is why we’re there :) Look forward to working with you!
