Has anyone of you guys done a wedding without a DJ? Or gone to a wedding without one? I'm not even sure how I would coordinate music at my wedding, as I haven't decided if I want to drop money on a DJ. I would need to find a friend to just play the music off a laptop during the wedding if I choose not to spend money on one; however, I feel that strips away their attention to enjoying the wedding.

I just put on a 90s rap playlist and we were good. You should make a playlist beforehand or get a friend to make one for you. Once the music starts, after at least the first dance, there's no real reason to turn it off, unless you do speeches, so it's not like it would be constant attention, just a few minutes on the hour to turn off and on.

Depends on how much DJs cost nowadays, i would consider it. My wedding was destination so i didnt have a choice, i had to make pre make my playlist and tell my buddy who was mc what playlists/songs to put on at which times. Had a song/s for the bridal party entering the reception and maybe another song for the bride and groom. Dinner music playlist, song for the first dance, garter toss, bouquet toss, playlist for dancing. I remember i made the playlist for that and i screwed up cause the transition between songs wasnt smooth so the people dancing would kinda stop when songs would change

My friends wedding had no DJ and it worked fine, it all depends on how you want your wedding to go. Sometimes it's nice to have an experienced MC/DJ running around coordinating stuff, but if your wedding isn't overly complicated that's less of an issue.
The main thing is to test/run through everything beforehand (fading in/out etc) and leading up to the ceremony have some kind of background music playing. My friends had a big bluetooth speaker that went into sleep mode right before the brides music was about to start. Overall just a minor hiccup that didn't matter but for other people that might be a big deal.

Stop anywhere that's not on the train tracks and 2 if there is an incoming train. That's how I would do it.
EDIT: Looked closer, you can stop at 1. That thing that looks like another train track is actually the skytrain, so yeah, just don't be an idiot and stay on the train tracks.

Yah that sign is just telling you the stop line is there for the railroad crossing when it's active... not to stop there when it's not active.

Don't do a wedding without a DJ. You are going to spend all that money on a wedding and skip the $1000 or so on a DJ?
Who is going to do the announcements? Who is going to be able to run the mics without feed back? Who is going to find that one track your wife and her maid of honor listened to a 1000 times when they where 14? What if the father changes his mind last minute and wants to do a father daughter dance. The maid of honor says they will just dance to the next song is. What she does not know is the next song is Sexual Healing by Marvin Gaye.
Know one is going to care if you have one less appetizer or you sent a little less on decorations but if the musics sucks guests will leave early.

Our layout does not have a dance floor, as we wanted space out more space for guests. Both our parents do not dance (not dancing type individuals).

Brother had a wedding during covid. No DJ. Loaded songs on a phone, made a playlist. Plugged into the venue audio system through aux. It was perfect. Switched to a light playlist during dinner time. Played their first dance song from it etc. Venue gave me the mic and showed me where volume controls where. I ran it no problemo. Why waste 1k if it's unnecessary. Load up some good tracks and let Er rip. It will be fine.

just ipod and playing music.
we have no dance floor either.
we planned since Nov and it was just up in the air.... so we decided to not go with it. And everyone has it in the contract, even if COVID is here and you cancel, we keep your money... FML.... so we're like gayyyyyyy
Obviously now we want one and it's fully booked.
I honestly don't care much about the dancing part even though I love dancing...

Since weddings are the topic in the past few posts I got a question of my own.
wedding day + limo's
Just about every company I've talked to so far says that their limo's are rented on a 4 hour minimum charge. I don't need a limo for 4 hours or can't think of any reason why anyone would need one for that long. All the weddings I've been to in the past where I've been part of the wedding party only involved a ride from the hotel/house to venue with maybe a pit stop somewhere in between to slam a beer. An hour tops.
Is there a company that any of you know of or have used in the past that went per hour without a 4 hour minimum?

^ I can't speak for the weddings you've been to, but most the ones I have been to the wedding party or just bride/bridesmaids arrives at the ceremony in a limo... and then departs to go take photos somewhere in said limo and it becomes the base of operations during photos... then they get dropped off at the reception.
So 4+ hours is pretty norm I think?

All the ones I've been part of the party were at locations such as stanley park rose garden, queen elizabeth, at lakes, and up in semi remote locations where there's a background that's overlooking mountains or the ocean. All of them were pick up and drop off, photos were all taken at the location where the ceremony is since they've picked that venue for a specific reason.
