Your wedding date is scheduled, the ceremony location and reception hall are reserved, not to mention some of your other wedding services. Congratulations, you think that your major wedding decisions are actually made right? Well, not exactly! Anyone could assume that looking for a great DJ for your wedding would be as common as a search on the internet, asking one or two friends and checking some DJ websites. Of course, most DJ's will be acceptable for your wedding right? However, there is a large distinction between some DJ's and DJ companies. Certainly not just from the price of the DJ service, but also in the quality.
Exactly how do you determine what DJ to settle on? We've taken our experience to compile a list of the best 10 things to ask a potential DJ company. We feel these questions are particularly crucial and usually overlooked. Asking these questions will reveal the differences in the standard of DJs you are considering for your big day.
1. Can they be insured for liability and theft coverage? Our organization estimates that most DJ's are not insured! In addition, some wedding party locations are now requiring proof of insurance from your DJ.
2. How long has the wedding DJ company been in operation? Will they still be around when your wedding date comes?
3. Will your DJ have a written contract for you? Can the agreement be worded fairly for both parties to sign? Note: A DJ performance agreement needs to have simple, clear, and easy to understand language and be no more than the usual page or two. If it looks like you are purchasing house using a long, difficult to understand contract, we recommend selecting another disc jockey.
4. Will they organize and announce the special events, dollar dance, etc.? Will they function as the MC for your entire reception?
5. Will they get your guests involved in special dances and game if you wish? Are these games and interactions contemporary? In the event that they mention the hokey pokey or Macarenakeep looking!
6. What precisely makes them better or different from other DJ's?
7. If your DJ becomes sick, has a vehicle issue, a kids emergency or can't make it to your wedding, what is the alternative plan? Is there another talented DJ ready to do your wedding on short notice?
8. Are they an experienced wedding DJ? What amount of weddings and ceremonies have they performed at?
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!
