Expert Tips for Choosing the Right DJ!
There are a number of mistakes that people usually make when they are looking for wedding DJs. This is mainly because they do not know what things should be considered when looking for the right one. If you do not want to end up with a ruined night, do a little research on some of the factors that make a professional disk jockey stand apart from those who do not have the sufficient skill and knowledge to be good at what they do. Most of the people who are on tight budget look for professionals who have low fees.
However, you should not be fooled by cheap prices as the quality of these DJs’ services are probably not as good. On the other hand, do not go rushing in for the first expensive wedding DJ that you see as not all of the pricey ones are good. Make a good and thorough research on the subject and consider some of the tips that I will now discuss if you want to have a really memorable wedding.
Specialization in Wedding DJ Services
You should never get a party DJ that does all trades. You might think that you are lucky for coming across a DJ that does all types of services, but the first thing that you have to look for is a wedding DJ who has made this their specialty.
This is quite important factor as there are some DJs who are really great but can perform well only at birthday parties and not on wedding events. When you are looking for a wedding DJ, make sure that this is the main thing that they do for a living. Just because they are good at being a DJ does not mean they are a good wedding DJ.
Experience of the Wedding DJ
It is also very important that you know for how long your disk jockey has been performing on such events. You should ask them about how much their experience is. Most of the professional St Louis DJs have their own websites which you can visit and see more information about them.
This information usually includes how much experience they might have, but if they have not included it always ask them. You have to look for one that is more experienced in the area of weddings as they will know how to entertain the people there.
Testimonials from Previous Clients
Most of the better St Louis DJs have a testimonial page on their websites. Go there and check out some of the feedback that their previous customers have left so that you can see what the general opinion about this person is. If you see that there are just too many negative comments, then you should just let it go and look for another wedding DJ who you can hire for your event. Do not waste any more of your time.
Public Liability Insurance
Depending on the country or state that you are living in, most of the DJs are required to have some sort of public liability insurance. Remember to always ask them for a copy and check it. You can either ask them to send it to your email or on paper, it does not matter.
However, if the wedding DJ that you have liked is not able to provide you with a copy of this insurance, this means that the company they are working for is not insured and are not working with any professionalism in mind. This does not mean that they are not good but it sure is a thing that you should consider.
Availability of the Wedding DJ
Take a look at what the working schedule of the DJ is. A big part of DJs work only during weekdays, and since a wedding can only be held during the weekends find a DJ which offers their services during these days. You might find this a bit of a daunting challenge, but in the end it will surely be worth all the effort that you put in. If you are not sure whether the wedding DJ would be available for the weekend, the best way to find out is to personally ask them.
Price of the Wedding DJ
The pricing of the St Louis DJs should be the least of your concerns, but is nevertheless an important factor. You might have to spend some additional amount of money in order to hire a DJ. However, given the fact that this will help you make your day truly memorable you should be ready to do it.
Starting the Search for a Wedding DJ Early
Start your search for wedding DJ St Louis in advance in order to ensure that you come across one that you like and is free during the weekend that you are going to hold this special event.

Thanks for the tips for finding a good DJ. It’s interesting to think that finding someone who does all types of service isn’t actually good. So, if I am helping to plan a bar mitzvah for my cousin, I guess I will only look for a DJ who does those.
My fiance and I are planning our wedding for this summer. The music is an important aspect of the wedding, and we want to make sure we find the right DJ. As you said, it’s important to do some research and find what makes one DJ different from another. We will be sure to do thins. Thanks for sharing!
My fiance and I are getting really excited for our upcoming wedding. She put me in charge of the music for the reception, and I want to make sure the DJ I find is perfect for our event. I didn’t realize that a lot of DJs don’t work on the weekends, that could pose a big problem for us, because our wedding is on a Saturday. I will have to be sure to ask my potential DJs if they work any weekends.
