Choosing Your Wedding DJ
The DJ at your wedding holds the power to either make the night one to remember, or chase every guest you invited straight back home. Here's what to look for when choosing your disc jockey...
The DJ
Very early in your journey you will learn that there are two options when it comes to looking for a DJ. You can either go a freelance DJ, who works for himself and usually plays as a part-time income generator. The other option is to make use of a professional DJ hire company, who specialize in DJ services. While there are pros and cons to both options, the big thing to remember is reliability. Should you hire an independent DJ, and he falls hill or is otherwise unable to make it on the day, you are going to be in a tough situation. The opposite would be true in the case of a DJ hire company, as they have backup DJs available 24/7 (or at least, should have) for this exact reason.
The Music
The next consideration, either way you choose to go - is the music. You may have a pre-defined idea of what music you want at your wedding, but remember that the music at your wedding needs to cater for the majority. That usually includes everyone from age 5 - 85. For this reason, make sure that your DJ has a good collection of music form the 50s to current, as well as any preferences you may have. This is usually where the professional DJ's outshine the beginners - in their extensive music collection, which has been built up over the years.
The Equipment
The third consideration to be made is that of equipment. Will the venue have its own audio equipment, or does the DJ need to bring his own. Either way, you need to do a little research in this department and have make sure that whatever equipment is being used is of industry quality, and that there is backup equipment available, just in case. You can request an equipment inventory from your DJ and take it to a local music dealer for an unbiased opinion.
Testimonials
The final element that you should be looking out for (err... requesting!) is testimonials. Any DJ or DJ hire company worth their salt will have a stack of testimonials. Request at least 5 contactable references as well who have recently had their wedding. Do your due diligence and ring them up to get some feedback. Unhappy customers are quick to talk!
And that sums up the essentials in terms of hiring a DJ for your wedding. There are of course, an endless number of questions that you can ask your DJ (and feel free to do so). Your wedding DJ, despite any acclaim or fame, is still a contractor, and you are the client - don't be shy to ask the tough questions!
