A Wedding DJ's Guide to Clare

A good number of the Clare weddings I play have at least a few guests flying in through Shannon Airport, which changes the shape of the weekend in ways a purely local wedding doesn't. Here's what I'd think about if I were planning a wedding in Clare.

Guests Flying Into Shannon

If part of your guest list is flying in, your evening timeline needs a bit more flex built in -flights get delayed, hire cars take longer than expected to collect. I plan the night's structure so a late arrival or two doesn't throw off the first dance or the speeches, rather than running to a rigid schedule.

Ennis as Your Base

Whether your venue is out toward the Cliffs of Moher and Lahinch, or closer to Ennis itself, I treat the two very differently for load-in and setup. A coastal venue usually means a longer, more exposed carry for equipment; I plan for that in advance rather than discovering it on the day.

What I Bring to a Clare Wedding

• A full sound and lighting rig, sized to your venue -not a scaled-down version for a smaller room.
• Flexible timeline planning for weddings with flying guests or tight travel windows.
• 30 years of reading a crowd, from big hotel ballrooms to small coastal gatherings.
