Why do we arrive so early?

Mobile DJs typically need 3 or more hours to set up for weddings because they have several tasks to complete before the event starts. Some of these tasks include:

1. Unloading and setting up equipment: Mobile DJs typically transport their equipment to the event site, and they need time to unload, transport and set up their sound system, lighting, and other equipment.
2. Testing equipment: Once the equipment is set up, the DJ needs to test everything to ensure that it is working properly and to make any necessary adjustments.
3. Coordination with venue and other vendors: The DJ may need to coordinate with the venue and other vendors to ensure that the sound system and lighting are set up in the right location and that there are no technical issues.
4. Consultation with the bride and groom: The DJ may also need to meet with the bride and groom before the event to go over their music preferences, the timeline of events, and any special requests they may have.
5. Preparation of music and announcements: The DJ will also need time to prepare their music library and make any necessary announcements.

These tasks require a significant amount of time and attention to detail, and that is why mobile DJs typically need 3 or more hours to set up for weddings. By allowing enough time for setup, the DJ can ensure that the event runs smoothly and that the bride and groom and their guests have an enjoyable and memorable experience.
