Every wedding has a signature music that guests remember for a long time. Whether that is the song that plays when you walk down the aisle or the one you dance your first dance to. The music can set the tone of the event. To be honest, it can make or break your wedding party. This is why it is so important that you hire the right DJ for your special day. You do not want someone inexperienced or unprofessional, and the only way to ensure that you get the best DJ service is by properly vetting your choices. The more knowledge you have of them, the better prepared you will be to make the right decision and find the perfect DJ for your wedding. We have made a list of a few questions that you can ask to find out if someone is the right musical fit for your wedding.
- What is the style of music that you usually play?
You need to know if their style of music matches the vibe that you are looking for in your wedding. If you are planning an elegant and intimate dinner party with your family and friends, then a DJ who plays EDM is probably the wrong choice. So, you need to find out their style so that you can decide if they would be ideal for your event.
- Can we watch your live performance?
The best way to get an idea of what to expect from a DJ is to watch him or her perform live. A live performance will tell you what your wedding reception will feel like. So, you can ask your prospective DJs if they would be willing to have a mini concert of sorts, for you to experience their music. Or if possible, attend an event in which they will be playing.
- Do you customize the experience for each couple?
Your wedding DJ must be able to create a beautiful playlist for your wedding based on who you and your partner are as a couple as well as individuals. It should be based on your style, taste and vision for that special day. So, you need to ask your DJ if he or she is flexible enough to incorporate your and maybe even your guests’ requirements into their playlist.
- Will you bring all the necessary equipment?
Most DJs come with their own equipment, including consoles and turntables. However, you still need to ensure if you have to rent any. This will help you avoid unnecessary pitfalls on the day of your wedding.
- How many hours will you play for?
Since you will be paying for their service, you need to know what it is that you will receive. Some DJs have a minimum or maximum amount of time that they will play. But beyond that, you should know if they will take any breaks and if they do, for how long, and if they have any backup plan for the breaks. Are they able to provide music and equipment for Ceremony, Cocktail and Reception?
