How to Hire a DJ ?

Your wedding DJ is significant when it involves the flow and overall feel of your big day. That’s why it’s important to form sure you are doing your research and choose wisely. Today, A DJ, is here to share his expert advice with us. With 30 years of experience behind the turntables, He knows a thing or to about what to seem for when you’re checking out the right wedding DJ.

  What are some good inquiries to ask a DJ before hiring them?

-How early does the DJ arrive?
-What is your procedure should the DJ get in an accident on the thanks to the event?
-Is there a backup DJ? What happens if you arrive and realize you’ve got a faulty speaker?

-What happens if your computer breaks down within the middle of the night?
-Do you play songs live or are you only throwing on an iTunes playlist or automated DJ program (which anyone can use)?
-Are you screaming on the microphone constantly or is it professional, minimal and informative when needed?
-Do you play the stereotypical wedding songs (YMCA, Celebration, We Are Family, Macarena, etc…) or will you create my wedding different and unique?
-Will you’re taking requests from the guests throughout the night and the way will you filter those to coincide with the bride and grooms’ tastes?
-Do you play songs with explicit lyrics?
-Do you stick with the timeline times specifically or does one bend and mold the night to suit the gang as required (and how)?

Are you able to make a playlist or tell the DJ what to play and what to not play?


A good professional DJ should cater the event to the clients and guests. HE/SHE isn’t there to point out off their musical tastes. Yes, an honest DJ will add their own style and flavor to place the night together musically, but within the end the clients and guests are those the DJ is playing for and any and every one appropriate requests or ‘do-not-plays’ should be honored within the end of the day .

What songs does one got to detect for your DJ before the wedding?


All specific songs for dances, intros, etc., should DEFINITELY be picked out before the marriage . As far because the cocktail, dinner, and dancing music cares it really depends on the DJ. Some DJs want to possess all their music able to go before the event. I however, wish to have a general idea of what the client wants, also because the ages, ethnicity, dress, and amount of alcohol consumed by the guests. i prefer to possess a general idea then show up and skim the gang accordingly. I probably steel oneself against the client and guests personalities quite I do the music that i will be able to play. If you want to hire me Contact me here.

What are a number of your favorite first dance songs?

I could list 1,000,000 songs that are great for a primary dance, but I feel that song must be something special for the couple. Again, I suggest they stand back from the stereotypical ones that everybody seems to use (Etta James – eventually , Armstrong – Wonderful World, etc) and pick something unique to them

How can a few make sure that their reception is fun for everybody attending?

HIRE knowledgeable DJ and don’t SKIMP on this money-wise. There are two things I tell people constantly when watching a DJ and pricing.
1)You get what you buy .
2) If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
you’ll be far better off finding and spending some extra cash on knowledgeable DJ who wants to urge to understand you and cares about you and your crowd and needs to remain in touch with you than you’ll a man who features a ridiculously low price or a package affect unlimited hours & lighting/photo booths. Plan on spending $1500 average on knowledgeable DJ. this might be more, but if you go much less than this price you’re sacrificing your quality and once the marriage is over, you can’t get that quality back. The DJ can make or break your wedding as they’re the one who not only sees the whole room, but controls it. Find someone you connect with who actually cares that your day pops without a flaw.
