Planning to have a DJ at your wedding?
What to ask/look for….
✅DJ & MC-ask them if they also will MC. Look for one that has a polished, clear and confident voice.
✅Microphone. See if they have the hookups for a microphone for your ceremony
✅ Ability to read the room. This one is HUGE! Observing the room to see who is dancing and what music gets the crowd going vs just playing a pre set playlist. If your floor is empty, they should know to change up the tone fast
✅ Mix and Flow. Do they take requests? Can they blend songs smoothly without any quiet transitional periods
✅ Expertise and Professionalism. They have professional gear and equipment as well as back up plans. They have lighting and extras to really bring the party. They work well with other vendors and can handle unpredictable moments or changes in the timeline.
A good DJ will be energetic, pump up the crowd, mix music with easy flow and keep the dance floor packed.
Keep in mind if the bride and groom leave the floor, others tend to as well. Your guests came to celebrate you and want to spend time with you. So if you want the dance floor full, don’t walk away too much!
