What happens when things don’t go as planned on a wedding day? My cohost and Fantasy Sound brand manager, August Yocher, takes over the mic to interview our incredible DJs—Norman Anub, Glen Riggs, and me, Kevin Dennis—as we share our wildest wedding day saves and tips for avoiding disaster.
Weddings rarely go off without a hitch, and that’s where an experienced DJ becomes your secret weapon. In this episode, my cohost and Fantasy Sound brand manager, August Yocher, steps in to interview Norman, Glen, and me about some of the most unexpected curveballs we’ve faced on the job and how we managed to save the day.
We cover everything from blown circuits caused by espresso bars to last-minute ceremony relocations due to extreme heat. Glen recounts a chaotic moment when the power went out mid-reception, while Norman shares how he saved a toppling wedding cake just in time.
August keeps the conversation lively, asking about our strategies for handling unplanned speeches, drunk guests, and even the occasional missing vendor. I share a story about stepping in as an officiant when one didn’t show up, proving that flexibility is key in the wedding business.
Throughout the discussion, we highlight how professionalism, teamwork, and a little humor can turn potential disasters into unforgettable moments for our couples.
