When planning a wedding, you always want to find entertainment ideas that are out of the ordinary. After close-up magic and cocktail workshops, the latest trend is the vinyl bar.
Based in Paris, Jour Précieux DJ offers this unique entertainment option, perfect for giving your cocktail party an atmosphere that is elegant, dynamic, friendly, and surprising.
A new trend for an original wedding
The concept behind the Vinyl Bar is simple: your guests become the DJs at your reception. They choose their favorite tracks from a selection of 400 of the best vinyl records, 33s and 45s, albums and singles, carefully chosen from among timeless classics. We then play them live on our turntables equipped with Ortofon Concorde cartridges, for a warm and authentic sound, amplified by a JBL Professional column speaker system.
Why choose a vinyl bar for your wedding?
An interactive musical animation
Unlike a traditional playlist or imposed background music, the vinyl bar lets your guests take control of the atmosphere. They can browse through the album covers, discuss their memories of the songs, share their nostalgic tastes, and create the soundtrack to your wedding themselves.
It's fun to bring music back to life, to touch the record and watch the vinyl spin. It's a little ritual that restores all the magic of analog sound.
A retro-chic decor that charms
With the vinyl bar, aesthetics are as important as the music. The space is decorated in a vintage, retro style: carefully displayed vinyl records, a welcome sign, wooden crates, turntables, and a mixing desk take center stage.
To enhance the overall effect, two vintage Edison filament projectors warm up the space with a warm and elegant light. A small string of fairy lights also adds a friendly and festive atmosphere. A vintage decor is enough to create a refined and coherent ambiance that fits in with any type of reception, whether outdoors or in a reception hall.
A playlist for all generations
Vinyl isn't just for enthusiasts. With over 400 collector's records available, the vinyl bar offers a varied repertoire: funk, soul, disco, pop, rock, jazz, hip-hop, reggae, French and international pop, electro-house, not to mention the essentials from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s.
It's nice to listen to tracks that aren't necessarily played during the ball, but which are perfect for the cocktail party, as a warm-up. This musical complementarity creates an ideal balance: a relaxed and friendly atmosphere at the start of the evening and maximum energy on the dance floor.
There's something to satisfy all generations, from grandparents to the youngest guests, and create a unifying musical atmosphere from the start of the reception.
Professional equipment for impeccable sound
As wedding DJs in Paris, we place particular importance on sound quality. The vinyl bar is equipped with high-end professional equipment:
-Turntables fitted with Ortofon Concorde cartridges, guaranteeing optimal precision and faithful reproduction of the warmth of vinyl sound.
-JBL column speakers with built-in subwoofers for powerful, clear sound, perfect for outdoor or indoor cocktail parties.
-Professional mixing desk, ensuring smooth and harmonious transitions.
This technical choice ensures your guests a high-quality musical experience, far removed from compressed music or music played on simple portable speakers. Analog sound brings a unique roundness and warmth that makes all the difference, appealing to even the most discerning ears.
When should you install the vinyl bar?
The vinyl bar is particularly suited to wedding cocktail parties or receptions. After the emotion of the ceremony, your guests need a moment of relaxation and conviviality.
Rather than overly intrusive entertainment, the vinyl bar offers a soft but participatory musical atmosphere that perfectly accompanies conversations, photos, and the first drinks.
This entertainment creates a natural transition to the rest of the evening, setting the stage for a lively dance floor led by our team of professional DJs.
