Did you know that most marriage proposals (approximately 39 percent) take place between Thanksgiving and Valentine's Day?
To hire a DJ for a wedding reception is as important as other tasks. Music adds more enjoyment and magic to the evening. Music can create happiness and joy in the occasion.
These are important questions to ask a DJ:
- What equipment do you use? If you need a sound system for the ceremony, can you provide this as well? (You want professional equipment that is loud enough but not overpowering.
- Are you a DJ that will stay in the background making necessary announcements or will you be visible and more of a performer? (It's usually the couple who should be getting the attention, but some couples do enjoy a DJ who is the center of attention.)
- What will you wear? (Make sure he knows how you want him to dress.)
- How is the music selected? Do you have a wide variety of songs available? Can I have a list of songs I do not want played?
- How do you handle the events of the evening? (It's important to know how the transitions from one activity to another will occur.)
- How often will you need to take a break? Will music be playing during these breaks?
- Some DJ companies have more than one DJ. Which DJ will be at my wedding?
- Will you be bringing a table that will need a tablecloth?
- Will you play music as the guests are arriving and during cocktail hour and meal?
- Do you provide a wireless microphone to use for speeches?
- Do you have liability insurance?
- How early will you be there to set up?
- Do you have references we may contact?
