Finding the Perfect Wedding DJ

Sure, a classic, formal wedding can be glamorous and elegant, but your wedding reception, that’s your time to let down your hair, kick off your shoes and have a great time with your friends, family and of course, your new spouse. Go ahead, relax, be yourself, have fun and show everyone what a fun, dorky couple you really are. With the right music and entertainment, your wedding reception will surely be one no one will ever forget.

To do this, you’ll need to find a wedding DJ with lots of positive energy that will have you and your guests ruling the dance floor. To get the best, you’ll need to start searching for wedding reception DJs early, most event DJs book months in advance. Interview your DJ and find out what you need to rent. Some event DJs will ask that you rent your own sound system while others will provide it for you and charge an additional fee.

You will want to avoid hiring a DJ you cannot see or hear first from either a previous event you have may have attended or from watching a few minutes of video. You shouldn’t rush to select your event DJ either, many DJs have different personalities and you will want to ensure you find one that meshes well with your personality and wedding theme.

When interviewing wedding DJs, ask questions like whether the DJ is familiar with your wedding venue, if not this is by no means a reason to reject a DJ you like, but if experienced with the venue, the DJ may be better prepared to deal with any known technical issues the venue may have. Also, make sure that the DJ you interview will be the actual DJ spinning discs at your wedding. You would hate to get to know a DJ and hire them because you like their personality only to have a different DJ show up than the one you expected. This is why it is important to make sure your contract spells out exactly who your DJ will be.

In the contract, costs should also be clearly specified, including any additional equipment or other fees that you will have to foot the bill for. Plan for overtime in case your reception runs longer than expected. The best thing about wedding DJs is that you have a variety to choose from and can certainly find one to fit your budget. You can typically expect to pay somewhere around $400 for a DJ, but this of course varies from city to city and depending on your type of event and how long you will need the DJ for.
