How to pick the best wedding dj

Written By James LaRusso

A wedding dj is truly a special person. Weddings are one of the few functions where you will have many different generations of guests in attendance. Guests as young as infants to as old as Great Grandparents may be in attendance. Its important to find a dj that specializes in weddings. Its important that he knows how to play to many different age groups and nationalities present. You want a consistent flow of interaction on the dance floor all night. Dj’s should play music that makes everyone feel comfortable and welcomed at your wedding. A wedding dj expert will also know the traditional parts of your wedding and how to time each dance set around those traditional customs. Its important that your wedding dj work closely with the banquet manager to ensure perfect timing of your dance songs around each course that is served that night for your wedding. Once each course is finished it is imperative that the dj quickly get everyone back out on the dance floor. Ask your dj what his secret to success is in getting the guests back out onto the dance floor after they have finished their course. Ask your wedding dj what percentage of his business is geared to weddings. We find that a dj who services wedding primarily instead of other types of events are usually the most proficient at managing a wedding. Weddings have many elements to them so finding the right wedding dj is important. Ask them how well them know your style of music and how amenable they are to playing those songs. Its important that a wedding dj be flexible with his music play list and play your requests also. A great wedding dj should be fun, have a great personality, be professional and be knowledgable of all types of music.
