Wedding DJ and MC
Beloved Entertainment handles both the DJ entertainment and the production elements in house. Wedding DJs mix live, using custom music edits and smooth transitions instead of playing songs back to back. Every DJ on the team is trained to the same standard. DJs also serve as MCs, handling announcements and introductions while keeping the microphone low-key so the focus stays on the couple.
