When looking for a
wedding DJ you need to decide first and foremost what kind of wedding you want. Is it going to be like
any other wedding? Or do you want your wedding to be exciting, fun and full of
surprises?
While you think about
that, here are some important questions to ask your potential wedding DJ:
It is
important that the dj is available for your wedding day. Some DJ companies will
have disc jockeys available for multiple bookings, but if they are not
available a good dj will recommend someone else for your wedding.
All the professionals have a written contract; this protects you and the
DJ Company. It ensures they show up on your wedding day and perform all
stipulations agreed within the written contract.
Meeting in person is very
important, most DJ’s will be happy to meet with you. It is important that you like your DJ as you
may need to correspond frequently about your wedding.

4. Who will actually be our disc jockey for our event?
The BIG companies have a bunch of DJs, it’s best to meet with who is
doing your event before you sign.
5.
Do you have a playlist
and will you work with my playlist?
Most DJ’s have a playlist but they can create a custom one based on the
couples likes, dislikes, and suggestions from their family and friends. Wedding
Disc Jockeys won’t have much of an issue with the majority of your songs, but
the DJ should always go through their list and they may note some songs that
may not get people dancing. (But the Final decision should always yours)
Wedding DJs love requests,
a good DJ has the ability to decide if a request will keep people dancing or
kill the dance floor. But remember there are a lot of good songs in the world,
and not enough time to play them all ;)
Wedding DJ’s need to have backup equipment: i.e backup computers and backup sound equipment

8. Do you have up lights that
will go with our wedding color scheme?
Most companies have a
variety of colors for their up lights and won’t have any trouble matching your
color scheme.
9. Do you offer MC Services?
It is a standard option
for most wedding disc jockeys that they offer this service. However, not all
DJ’s are comfortable in the role of master of ceremony and it is important to
confirm if the service is available.
If your wedding DJ seems
excited about this question being asked, then odds are they have done something
a little extra for brides and grooms in the past and it was a lot of fun (i.e.
A flash mob, choreographed dance or a surprise song sung for the bride/groom.)
