What Weddings Have Taught Me About People

Nothing staged. Everything real

And why music is only the beginning.

I became a DJ because I love music.I stayed because I love people.

Over the past few years, I’ve played at weddings across Spain, Croatia, Italy, and Germany. And beyond all the tech, lights, and BPMs, one truth keeps hitting me: Every wedding is a mirror.

A mirror of how we love, celebrate, cry, laugh, and connect.

1. Nothing is perfect – and that’s exactly what makes it beautiful

There’s no such thing as a flawless wedding. Something always goes off plan.

And honestly? That’s often when the magic happens.

A forgotten speech, a sudden rain shower, a tech glitch.

What stays is how we respond: with laughter, lightness, and realness.

I've learned: People are at their best when they let go. What weddings taught me about people

2. Every culture has its rhythm – and still, we dance together

Arab, Balkan, queer, Catholic, secular –in the end, there’s always that one moment when everyone moves to the same beat.

I’ve learned: Differences aren’t walls – they’re invitations.

3. Music can hold grief, even when no one’s mourning

Some weddings are bittersweet.Because someone’s missing.Because families carry stories.Because love sometimes takes a long road.

I’ve played songs that brought people to tears –not from sadness, but from depth, memory, and healing.

Music isn’t always the party. Sometimes, it’s the language we need.

4. The best applause is none at all

My favorite moment isn’t when someone shouts “DJ Leo!”It’s when people completely forget I’m there.

When no one’s on their phone. When grandma dances.When two people hold each other and everything else fades.

That’s when I know: I didn’t perform – I held the space.

Final Thought - what weddings have taught me about people

Yes, I’m a DJ.But more than that, I’m an observer, a listener, a host.

I get to step into your world for a day –and that means more to me than any light show or playlist.

Because in the end, it’s not about the tech. It’s about whether people feel seen, carried, and connected.

And when that happens, music isn’t just sound. It becomes memory.
