If you are getting married soon, one important decision you will need to make is who you will choose as your DJ. Figuring out who should play at your reception can be a difficult task because there are so many different factors to take into account-from their style and expertise, to the type of music they play and whether they have all the right equipment.


Choosing a DJ for your wedding can be an overwhelming task. There are so many DJs to choose from, and it can be difficult to know which one will work best for you. Here we’ll break down the 5 most important things that you should take into consideration when choosing a DJ.


5 questions to ask


1) Do they offer the type of music that is right for me?

The first thing to do is determine what type of music you want. If a DJ isn’t familiar with the style of music you’d like to have at your wedding, then that DJ might not be a good fit for you. It doesn't matter if they're the most famous or well-respected DJ - if it's not their style then they probably won't provide the right music for you.


2) How much does their package cost?

Consider how much their package costs and if it fits within your budget. You don't want to get quotes from DJs who are too expensive because it could force you into spending more money than you were planning to. There are talented DJs in all price ranges, so know your budget and get several quotes.


3) What do other people say about them online?

Check online reviews for the DJ in question; you can find these on their website, social media sites, or even google search results. You'll want to look at customer reviews and see if they were satisfied with the service of the DJ before deciding whether or not to book them.


4) Can I see some references before booking them with my venue?

Compare a few DJs before making your final decision. Ask them for references or reviews. How long have they been DJing? How many weddings have they served? You'll want to get as much information about potential DJs upfront before booking with one of them because it can be a lengthy process (especially if the DJ is from out of town).


5) Will they provide all equipment needed (or at least make sure everything is in working order)?

You'll want to ask about equipment. Is it included in the quoted price? Make sure that they have everything in working order so that your big day will go off without a hitch!


Whether you're looking for someone who specializes in your favorite type of music or just want one who will provide the best customer service and have all the right equipment on hand, it's important to take your time when choosing a DJ for your wedding. Once you've found someone perfect for you, make sure they're available on your date before booking them with your venue!
