Wedding DJ strategy is more than a playlist. Jon “Sugar Bomb” Ardito breaks down how professionals engineer a dance floor, read a room, and balance requests with momentum so the night never flatlines. From beatmatching and key selection to MC tone, client preferences, and venue variables, Jon explains the real craft behind unforgettable receptions.
We also dig into building Sugar Bomb Entertainment in Philadelphia, managing corporate events, protecting work-life balance, and how the pandemic sparked a practical approach to personal finance and options trading.
