How the music of
a wedding gets built
What you learn from actually running weddings, written without decoration: what a DJ really costs, where each song fits into the timeline of the day, which mistakes empty the dance floor, and what happens to sound when the party is outdoors. These four were written in Spanish for the Madrid market and translated here; the figures are Spanish figures and are labelled as such.
None of this is disguised advertising. If you read it and then hire somebody else, you will have hired better. That is the point.
