Lighting your indoor or outdoor venue is incredibly important and something that should never be overlooked. Bunn DJ Company offers three different types of lighting: cafe lighting, dance floor lighting and uplighting.
1. Cafe (string) Lighting
Cafe lighting (also called String Lighting or Market Lighting) is beautiful, people love it. In outdoor venues, we will hang it in tents or over dance floors. We’ll also hang them in darker indoor venues like converted barns. They are meant to provide lighting at a downward angle and must be hung high enough so that guests won’t accidentally jump up and hit them. If you choose cafe lighting you should also strongly consider dimmers so that you can control the amount of light. Cafe lighting puts off a lot more light than people think and no one likes dancing on a very bright dance floor.
2. Dance Floor Lighting
Dance floor lighting is a great choice if you want to create that party atmosphere. It goes best with modern indoor venues. It also allows us to bring the house lights down a little bit lower and showcase the array of changing colors. When these lights are turned on, everyone knows it’s party time.

3. Uplighting
Uplighting looks great in both indoor and outdoor venues. We highly recommend it in hotels, ballrooms or convention centers. There is a stark difference between not having it and having it; it creates a finished and polished look from the traditional decor of those types of spaces. In outdoor venues, you can use it highlight trees such as large oak trees in Charleston. We do not typically recommend uplighting for use in a historic home or venue because of its modern look.

(Towards the end of the video you will see the color changing mode but that is not something we have to do, they can stay on the color(s) you selected for the entire evening. You can select any color(s) you would like)
As wedding DJs in Charleston, we have the privilege of working for many destination clients who have their ceremony and reception at the same venue. We frequently receive questions concerning the ceremony music, which songs to pick, what works and what doesn’t. We wanted to take the time to answer some of those questions for you to ensure that your ceremony goes smoothly.
There is nothing worse than being a guest at a wedding and not being able to hear the officiant or the vows. If that’s the case, then your guest will check out. The ceremony is a very important part, if not the most important part of your wedding day, so you want to make sure everyone can hear you loudly and clearly. Microphones are also important if your DJ or Videographer is recording your vows. Make sure that you have microphones, a speaker and a sound system – especially if it’s going to be outside.
The music for the whole day to be reflective of the couple. We tailor the music for the prelude ceremony just as we would for the cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. We always begin playing the music about 20 – 30 minutes before the start of the ceremony as the guests arrive. If our clients don’t give us specifics, we play classical, instrumental covers of modern songs by artists such as The Piano Guys, Vitamin String Quartet and Sleeping At Last for the prelude music. It’s a little bit more upbeat than Beethoven or Mozart yet still gives off a very elegant vibe.
The music should flow together. Having several classical songs and then have the bride come down to an Indie Rock song doesn’t flow. You want to make sure that everything matches from start to finish. Communicate with your DJ or your musicians to be sure the music is “matches” from start to finish.
Wedding of: Caitlin & Brad
Wedding Location: April 30, 2016 at Boone Hall Plantation – Charleston, SC

Exit Song: Firework – Katy Perry (to sparklers)
Living in Charleston, Caitlin and Brad knew they wanted to get married there and found their dream-venue in Boone Hall Plantation. Many of their family and friends had to travel to Charleston, but knew it would be worth the trip, and was it ever!
Caitlin and Brad were married on the steps of the Boone Hall Plantation home in a beautiful ceremony set to the sounds of a great string-trio. Guests and family members then made their way to the back of the house where they were greeted with some amazing hors d’oeuvres and drinks by Cru Catering. After some cocktails and food, everyone went to the Cotton Dock which was exquisitely decorated, complete with lounges and a fire pit for s’mores! I began playing a mix of oldies, classic rock, alternative rock and classic country. I then introduced the wedding party and the newlyweds to “Walking on Sunshine” by Katrina & The Waves. Caitlin then danced with her father, followed by Brad and his mother’s dance. Guests went inside where they were treated to some incredible fare.
After some great toasts and speeches by the Father of the Bride, Best Man, and Maid of Honor, Caitlin and Brad cut their cake. We then officially opened the dance floor with “I Want You Back” by Jackson 5.
When I spoke with Caitlin about the music for her wedding, she told me she “has terrible taste in music” in that she loves horrible pop/Top 40 music, and Kesha in particular. Regardless of what she thought of her music taste, I was going to be sure our bride was dancing! I played a mix of oldies and classic reception songs throughout the evening, eventually mixing into a steady stream of pop and current Top 40, and, of course, Kesha! We ended the night with the beautiful “Wonderful Tonight” by Eric Clapton and sent them off with sparklers to their classic car with “Firework” by Katy Perry.
This wedding was beautiful and so much fun! We were all blessed to be a part of this special day and I had a blast playing all of Caitlin’s “terrible Top 40”!
Thank you again Caitlin and Brad! It was an honor to be your DJ and congratulations again to the new Mr. & Mrs. Mogen!

Karley & Henry’s Charleston Wedding

The Couple made the trip to Charleston, SC from Michigan with about 150 of their closest friends and family members to the beautiful, historic Legare Waring House at Charlestowne Landing.
After the beautiful ceremony, the guests made their way to the patio, which was gorgeously decorated, for cocktail hour and Palmetto Strings continued to play. Just before dinner I introduced the wedding party and the new Mr. and Mrs. Pletscher to Forever by Chris Brown. The wedding party made a tunnel for the couple then they all danced to the dance floor. Karley and Henry then had their first dance as husband and wife, followed by the parent dances.
Once dinner began I played a mix of bluegrass covers selected by the couple, by artists such as Beef Seeds and Pickin’ On Series, and some Indie Rock and standards. After dinner and some entertaining and heartfelt speeches by the Maids of Honor and Best Men, we opened up the dance floor. I played a mix of everything…and I mean everything! From 90’s & 2000’s pop and hip-hop like Backstreet Boys, Miley Cyrus, and Nelly, to some classic rock like Tom Petty, to today’s hits like Justin Beiber and Pitbull. We ended the night with Wagon Wheel, capping off a beautiful night.
Something very unique about this wedding was that the couple rented a “SpeechBooth” where guests would record video messages to them via a microphone connected to an iPad and they even made a really cool “The Pletschers” backdrop for it too! I am sure there are some classic videos the couple will cherish.
Thank you again Karley and Henry! It was an honor to be your DJ, and congratulations again to the new Mr. & Mrs. Pletscher!

The Bride and Groom met when they both spent two years in Kenya with the Peace Corps. This was a transformative and powerful experience for them both to say the least, and they wanted to bring some of those experiences to their wedding through the music for both the ceremony and reception. Elizabeth and Henry had their ceremony on the White Bridge Lawn, which was the perfect backdrop on such a beautiful day.
After the beautiful ceremony, the guests made their way to the Veranda for cocktail hour. Having a good idea of the Bride and Groom’s musical tastes, I played a mix of 60’s / 70’s, soul, and alternative rock, such as The Lumineers and Citizen Cope. I then introduced the wedding party and the new Mr. and Mrs. Bennett, who then had their first dance as husband and wife, followed by the parent dances and cake cutting. After dinner and some entertaining and heartfelt speeches by the Maids of Honor and Best Men, we opened up the dance floor. I played a mix of classic party songs but also threw in some great classic hip-hop songs such as No Diggity and Let Me Clear My Throat and some dance songs like We Found Love by Rihanna. Later in the evening, I mixed in some special, popular African songs from the Bride and Groom’s Peace Corps experience and they along with several of the bridesmaids rushed to the middle of the dance floor immediately!
We ended the night with Take Me Home Tonight, capping off a beautiful night. Elizabeth and Henry then exited to sparkles and I Lived by OneRepublic.
Thank you again Elizabeth and Henry! It was an honor to be your DJ, and congratulations again to the new Mr. & Mrs. Bennett!

We then got the dancing started, and I opened with a great mix of 70’s, 80’s, & Motown, and mixed in some country classics which the guests loved. I continued the same mix for the next hour but mixed in some more current pop, but the last 45 minutes I kept everyone on the dance floor with the wedding classics and sing-a-longs. There were some great MJ dance-offs by some of the groomsmen around that time as well which got the crowd going!
We ended the night with a mix of Friends in Low Places, Shout, Don’t Stop Believin’ and Take Me Home Tonight, which capped off a great night on what was a beautiful day.

We then opened the dance floor with the traditional Jewish dance, the Horah, to Hava Nagilah by David & The High Spirit.

When the last hour came we switched it up a little and I went into a 90’s/2000’s hip-hop set with some David Guetta and Calvin Harris dance songs thrown in, and no one ever left the dance floor.
We ended the night with Empire State of Mind followed by New York, New York by Frank Sinatra. Just before the last couple of songs, Ashley pulled out a box under my table and handed out the black and white “Sinatra hats” and glow sticks! Peter and Lauren were given a thunderous applause and guests were treated to some delicious Momofuku – Milkbar cookies to take with them.
This was one of my favorite weddings, and not one I, or the guests, will soon forget! Thank you again Ashley and Anna, and congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs. Lauren & Peter Sklaver!
