Common House Richmond Wedding & Event DJ

Historic Urban Character

Preserved tin ceilings, exposed brick, handcrafted tables, rich wood floors, eclectic furnishings, and downtown energy create a distinctly Richmond setting for weddings and private events.

Celebrations Up to 150 Guests

Published venue information lists seated ceremony and reception capacity up to 150 guests. Final capacity depends on the selected rooms, layout, and event format and should be confirmed directly.

Full-Service Food and Beverage

In-house catering, full bar service, curated wines, craft cocktails, event furniture, professional waitstaff, and included basic A/V help simplify the planning of weddings and corporate gatherings.

Outdoor Ceremony

The open-air Courtyard and second-floor Madison Wing offer distinctive ceremony settings. We can provide a dedicated ceremony sound system for guest arrival music, the processional, the entrance, vow microphones, special ceremony moments, and the recessional.

• Prelude and guest-arrival music
• Wedding-party processional selections
• Couple’s entrance music
• Microphone support for the officiant
• Audio support for vows and readings
• Recessional and post-ceremony music

Madison Wing or Rooftop Cocktail Hour

Cocktail-hour music sets the mood while guests enjoy the Madison Wing, rooftop skyline views, refreshments, and conversation. A separate audio solution can maintain the atmosphere without depending on the reception system being in the same location.

• Personalized background music
• Independent volume control
• Smooth ceremony-to-cocktail transition
• Wireless or compact equipment options
• Music matched to your wedding style

Union Hall Reception

Union Hall combines natural light, preserved tin ceilings, handcrafted tables, flexible layouts, and room for formal dining or a vibrant cocktail-style reception. We balance speech clarity, musical coverage, and dance-floor energy for the selected layout.

• Wedding-party introductions
• First dance and family dances
• Wireless microphones for toasts
• Dinner music and formal announcements
• Professional reception sound
• Dance-floor entertainment

Weather and Rain Planning

Outdoor weddings need a flexible audio plan. We work with your confirmed venue plan and wedding timeline so equipment placement can accommodate the designated ceremony, cocktail-hour, and reception locations.

Final rain-plan spaces and logistical decisions remain subject to Common House Richmond’s policies and your coordination with its event team.

No Venue Power Required

Our battery-powered ceremony equipment can operate independently of venue electrical service. That provides additional flexibility when the ceremony is positioned in the Courtyard, Madison Wing, or another venue-approved indoor or outdoor setting.

Clear Vows and Readings

Proper microphone planning helps guests hear the officiant, personal vows, readings, and other ceremony elements without distracting from the setting.

Precisely Timed Music

Ceremony entrances require attention. We prepare the selected tracks, organize cues, and coordinate timing so each entrance and transition feels intentional.

Your Wedding DJ

Your music should sound like you. We use your preferences, must-play songs, do-not-play requests, special dances, guest profile, and overall vision to prepare a soundtrack that feels personal rather than copied from another wedding.

• Personalized planning
• Must-play and do-not-play requests
• Ceremony and reception selections
• Clean music when requested
• Cultural and family traditions
• Guest requests based on your preferences

Your Wedding MC

A professional MC helps guests understand what is happening without overwhelming the celebration. Announcements are planned around your timeline and delivered with the energy appropriate for each moment.

• Wedding-party introductions
• Special-dance announcements
• Dinner and toast transitions
• Cake-cutting announcements
• Dance-floor invitations
• Final-song and send-off guidance

Venue Coordination

Equipment placement, arrival, setup, sound levels, breakdown, and enhancement placement are planned around the venue’s current requirements and the spaces included in your event.

Planner Coordination

We use the confirmed wedding timeline while staying prepared for reasonable real-world adjustments. Communication helps formal events happen when the couple and wedding team are ready.

Photo and Video Awareness

Before announcing major moments, we help allow time for the photographer and videographer to prepare whenever possible. The goal is a smoother experience and better documentation.

Music With Purpose

Song choices are guided by your vision and the energy of the celebration. We work to connect generations and styles while protecting your must-play and do-not-play preferences.

Natural Energy

The reception should not feel forced. We use pacing, transitions, and music selection to invite participation and help the dance floor grow naturally.

Your Kind of Celebration

Whether you want an elegant evening, a high-energy dance party, or a blend of both, the entertainment approach is shaped around the experience you want your guests to have.

Intelligent Spotlighting

Spotlighting can help draw attention to introductions, special dances, cake cutting, and other important moments while adding a polished visual element to the reception.

Wireless Uplighting

Uplighting adds color and depth to approved reception areas. Colors can be selected to complement the wedding palette and the natural character of the venue.

Dance-Floor Lighting

Dynamic dance-floor lighting adds movement and energy after the formal moments are complete. The lighting can develop alongside the reception’s energy.

Custom Monogram

A personalized monogram can display names, initials, or a custom design on an approved surface, creating a visual detail unique to the couple.

Dancing on a Cloud

A low-lying cloud effect can create a romantic setting for the first dance and memorable photographs. Use is subject to venue approval and appropriate placement.

Cold-Spark Effects

Cold-spark effects may add a dramatic accent to selected moments. Their use always depends on venue authorization, site conditions, safety requirements, and an approved location.

Photo Booth

An interactive photo booth gives guests a fun activity during the reception while creating shareable keepsakes and candid memories.

Video Guestbook

A video guestbook lets friends and family record personal messages, congratulations, stories, and advice in their own voices.

Personalized Videos

Personalized video experiences can add another meaningful visual element to the celebration and help tell the couple’s story.

Setup and Placement

• Confirm the ceremony and reception locations
• Plan safe equipment and speaker placement
• Maintain clear guest and vendor pathways
• Protect equipment from weather exposure
• Confirm load-in and breakdown requirements
• Review enhancement locations before the wedding

Venue Policies

Sound levels, production effects, electrical access, equipment placement, delivery times, and end times remain subject to Common House Richmond’s current policies.

Couples should verify all venue-specific details directly with Common House Richmond. We then adapt the entertainment plan to the confirmed requirements.

Personalized Service

Your wedding should never feel like someone else’s template. Music, announcements, timing, lighting, and enhancements are planned around your priorities.
