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. Exactly how long has the DJ company been around?
3. Will the potential disc jockey use a written contract? Can this agreement be worded fairly for both parties? Note: A DJ performance contract needs to have simple, clear and understandable language and be no more than a couple pages. If it feels like you are buying a house using a long, difficult to understand contract, we advise choosing a different wedding DJ.
4. Will they organize and announce the special events, dollar dance, etc.? Will they function as the MC for your entire reception?
5. Could they play interactive games and dances with the guests if you desire that? Can these games and interactions be up to date? If they mention the hokey pokey or Macarenakeep looking for other DJs!
6. Just what exactly makes them better or distinct from other DJ companies?
7. In the event that the disc jockey becomes sick, has a vehicle failure, a family member emergency or for whatever reason can't arrive on time to your wedding and reception, exactly what will happen? Is there a knowledgeable DJ ready for taking their place in the last minute?
8. Are they experienced? Exactly how many wedding dances have they done?
9. In case there's an equipment problem, do they have backup equipment located on site?
10. Will they give you complete and up to date references with names, contact details, and numbers of previous wedding clients?
Every one of your questions or concerns must be addressed by the potential DJ. As soon as you make a decision on the company you want for your wedding entertainment, it is advisable to reserve that date quickly. Why? Because some of the popular DJ's are booked years in advance on busy wedding dates. If you wait, you may have to settle for your second or third choice. Good luck on your hunt for a great DJ and congratulations for your upcoming wedding!
