Every bride wants her wedding to be the most perfect day of her life, which is why she keeps a checklist a mile long for everything from the wedding cake to the wedding photographer to the wedding DJ. So what does every bride need to know about her wedding DJ? What questions should she ask? What are the most important things to consider when hiring a professional wedding DJ?
Here’s a checklist for brides-to-be on how to find the perfect DJ for your perfect day.
Things to consider when hiring a professional wedding DJ
- How many events has your DJ done? There’s nothing wrong with hiring a newer DJ for your wedding, provided he or she knows what they’re doing. You don’t want a DJ who spends three hours setting up, leaving you to rely on a phone or a playlist to keep music going for your guests.
- Does your wedding DJ return correspondence within twenty-four hours? A professional DJ makes sure that, while a call back may not come within the hour, it will come within a day.
- How low is too low for a wedding DJ’s price? While you don’t want to break your budget hiring a wedding DJ, you do want to pay for real service, and you want that service to be amazing on your big day.
- Will your wedding DJ spend some face time with you? It’s important that your wedding DJ takes the time to talk with you in person, so you can get a feel for his or her style, help them understand your style, and make sure the two match.
- Is the person you meet at the DJ company’s office the same person who will be DJing your event? Often a DJ company has someone who is the front face of the organization but does not actually perform wedding engagements. See if you can speak with the DJ who will be there on your big day.
