OK then. I'm a big fan of DJ interactivity, particularly at weddings. Most DJs in my market tend to turn up, play great music (usually too loudly!), take a few requests, make a handful of announcements and then call it a night. I like to add a bit more tasteful fun into the night.

Therefore, I'll reveal this one wonderful gem to you once a few of you have had a decent guess at what's going on in this picture. I took the picture just after getting the ball rolling. Brides love this and just look at all of the faces!



So what's happening here?

First round of the always popular "Al Jolson" competition?

Or the Bride is picking the winner of the "most sunburned guest" competition?

Shes asking if anyone has a condom !

Just had a meeting with a bride and groom, they want just music, no mic work,games or skits, just music ! £500 i will shut up !

Are you doing a Mr & Mrs interview? See how well they know each other?
Or is she about to play a game of under the blanket?

Looks like a Mr and Mrs to me !! dunno how that would play in the UK ive never done it or know anyone that has here, I can imagine its pretty funny though.

There singing to her, i would take a guess and say the top gun song, You've lost that love and feeling now its gone gone gone, woo wooo woo wo wo wo wo

And on and on!!

Am i close, took a guess as i have had people ask me to play this so they can sing!!

I reckon you are showing them all your Richard` or more apparent , your `wedding tackle`.


Ste

they are waiting for somone to remove her garter ........ or she is picking someone to remove it for her...

its the old "Whos got the biggest forehead" competition.

The girl standing up, visible over the grooms(?) shoulder has been excluded as she'd win instantly.

Have you just announced that this is a spoof wedding and that the bride and you are going to shack up together?

Easy - You've Lost That loving Feeling.

She's told the guests that for years the groom thought it was the first hole down from the back of the neck.

Welll Richard

Chubby Bunnies...............


the marsh mellow eating game?????

The bride has just told them a very sad story about how she can not pay for the wedding and has asked for volunteers to pay. Only one volunteer at present. Everyone is on their knees pleeding she doesn't ask them for money

Close?

Ollygeorge & DiscoDirect are bang-on! I stopped the music early in the evening, asked the Bride to take a seat in the middle of the dance floor on a chair I had ready and gathered all of the men around her. Once they were good and close (that's her new husband behind her), I started the Righteous Brothers "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" and got them to serenade her. After 60 seconds or so I change the song into a big hit like "Brown Eyed Girl" and get on with the night. Try it some time!

Woo woo woow oo ..


I was right

How did you know that?

What other successful interactives are being done at the moment?

I do limbo competitions, sketch involving wedding guests as actors and comedy folk dancing lesson ! Unfortunately they are for the norwegian market and probably wouldnt work anywhere else. I only do these at weddings where it is arranged beforehand and the crowd are up for it !

All sorts of audience interaction as I read the crowd, including the above example. Anythying that is appropriate for the time and moment.

Richard, we tried it at an 18th birthday party last night - BRILLIANT!!! She was lovin' it

That's great Brian. Thanks for sharing the photo!

Isn't it fun?

Whilst we're sharing I sometimes play the Mummy game - as recommended by Kazz (I think) in the Kids Games section. Get as many teams as you can consisting of between two and five members, nomintae a mummy for each team and the others have the length of one song to wrap them up like a mummy. Get the crowd to vote using your arm as the clapometer (idea from Paula I think).

If they are really up for it - and you have to be very careful here - you can use whipped cream as embalming fluid....ahem. It obviously introduces a lot more mess so only use this selectively.

Once the game is over give out two bin liners, another idea from Kazz, whichever team brings back the fullest bag of rubbish wins a prize - sweets and glowstuff for kids, champagne for adults.

Can't see you doing this Rendezvous! Toilet rolls and tuxedo's don't compliment each other too well!

Sounds a brilliant idea, and I particularly like the idea that it worked at an 18th. I'm really tempted to try it this weekend at the 21st I'm doing for a girl.

Any other tracks that anyone can think of. I initially thought of McFly - It's all about you for this 21st birthday girl.
