The music at a wedding can make the difference between a good wedding and a great one, and that’s why it’s so important to choose your wedding DJ wisely. This article discusses some of the major factors to look for when choosing your wedding DJ.

1) No Friends If if your friends volunteer, they should under no circumstance be allowed to DJ. Chances are they will have had a few drinks throughout the day so they’re DJ’ing skills (if they have any!) will be comprised. They are best of mingling with all the other guests and enjoying themselves.

2) Listen to the DJ play a gig

It might be difficult to attend a strangers wedding to hear a DJ play but most reputable companies should be able to provide you with a CD or video of a recent set. This will give you an idea of the music they play.

3) What type of DJ are they?

It’s vital that the DJ you choose has experience of DJing at actual weddings. This will mean they are aware of the type of music they need to play to get the party going. Drum and Bass probably wouldn’t do it!

4) Make sure the price is clear

Make sure the DJ is fully aware of what time the wedding party could go on for. There is nothing worth than a DJ stopping the party early. Also clarify if the DJ is supplying the lighting and speaker equipment.

5) Always ask for references

If you have any doubts about the DJ, ask to see some references from previous clients.

6) Approach several companies

It’s wise to get a number of different quotes from rival companies. This will help ensure you are getting value for money and not getting ripped off.

7) Payment Conditions

Don’t pay for the DJ upfront if it can avoided. Most will accept 50% before and 50% after the gig.

The Wedding DJ can make or break a night. Following the above tips should remove a lot of the risk involved and help make sure you have a night to remember for all the right reasons.
