    DJ & Entertainment Planning Guide

    As an experienced luxury wedding DJ, I know exactly how to make the City View room sound and look incredible. Here is my insider advice for this specific space.

    Acoustics & Sound

    The tall ceilings and brick walls can create a lively acoustic environment. I utilize strategic speaker placement and digital sound processing to ensure speeches are crystal clear and the music is full and rich without echoing excessively.

    Social Booth Placement

    A Social Booth makes for a fun time. It is normally placed in the back corner, providing easy guest access and incredible entertainment without disrupting the elegant dining atmosphere on the main floor.

    Floorplan & Flow

    I recommend placing the DJ setup under the mezzanine. The layout allows for excellent guest flow between the bar, tables, and dancing area, keeping the energy focused where the action is.
