Your wedding reception date is locked in, the ceremony location and dance hall are reserved, and a few of your other wedding vendors. Congratulations, you believe your major wedding decisions are already made right? Well, not quite! You could think that selecting a great DJ for a wedding will be as easy as a Google search, asking just a few friends and checking some DJ websites. All things considered, most disc jockey would be acceptable for your wedding reception right? Consider this. There is a large difference between disc jockeys and DJ companies. Certainly not just in the price of the DJ service, but also in the quality.
How do we figure out what DJ to decide on? We've taken our years of experience to compile a listing of some of the best 10 questions to ask a DJ company. We feel these questions are especially vital and frequently overlooked. Getting answers to these questions will advise you on the variations in the level of DJ's you are considering for your wedding.
1. Is the DJ insured for both liability and theft? We estimate that a lot disc jockeys are not insured! Plus more and more venue locations are requiring verification of insurance from a DJ.
2. Exactly how long has the wedding disc jockey company been in business?
3. The potential DJ should have a written contract for you to sign. Will it be worded fairly for both parties? Note: A DJ performance agreement needs to have simple, clear and understandable language and be no longer than a few pages. If it seems like you are buying a house with a long, hard to understand contract, we advise getting a different DJ.
4. Are going to they organize and announce the bridal events, first dance, etc.? Will they be your MC in your wedding?
5. Could they play interactive games and dances with the guests if you desire that? Can these games and interactions be up to date? If they mention the hokey pokey or Macarenakeep looking for other DJs!
6. What precisely makes them better or different from other DJ's?
7. In the event that the disc jockey becomes sick, has a vehicle failure, a family member emergency or for whatever reason can't arrive on time to your wedding and reception, exactly what will happen? Is there a knowledgeable DJ ready for taking their place in the last minute?
8. Are they experienced? Exactly how many wedding dances have they done?
9. In the event there's an equipment malfunction, can they have backup equipment available on site?
10. Can they provide you with complete and recent references: names, contact specifics, numbers, etc. of previous wedding clients?
Any other questions or concerns that you have need to be addressed by the potential DJ. When you finally settle on which entertainment team you want for your personal wedding, you need to reserve that date immediately. Why, because some of the popular wedding DJ's are booked well in advance on busy wedding dates, sometimes by a year or more. If you wait too long, you may need to settle on another choice. Best of luck with your search for the best wedding DJ for you and congratulations on your upcoming marriage!
