Kicking Off Wedding Season… and Witnessing a DJ Disaster
•
Jared Judge
In this episode, Jared kicks off the 2025 wedding season with a stunning mountain gig—and a reminder that professionalism always matters. He reflects on how doubling his soloist rates was a game-changer, shares how he problem-solved a ceremony-to-cocktail transition like a pro, and recounts a cringeworthy run-in with a DJ who wasn’t quite ready for prime time. This behind-the-scenes peek at what it takes to thrive (and stand out) at high-end weddings is packed with lessons—and a little bit of gig gossip too.
