What to Look for in a DJ
A large portion of the success of a wedding reception rests heavily on the shoulders of the DJ.
-
While the common perception is that the DJ just plays music, today’s highly trained DJ professionals take on the role of event manager first, and music programmer second.
While not a wedding coordinator, premier disc jockey professionals carefully orchestrate your reception and pace it for maximum success.
-
Rather than just show-up and play music, the DJ takes the burden of timing and coordination off your shoulders, allowing you to relax and enjoy your big day.
A wedding reception requires the skillful experience of a master of ceremonies to manage.
-
Like the Academy Awards, your reception should be a mixture of artful timing, rehearsed audience involvement and the live performance of the stars (that’s you!) for complete success.
In hiring a DJ, ensure that they can provide a wide variety of your favorite music through a premium sound system that incorporates a complete back-up solution for your peace of mind.
-
For your protection a DJ should also be insured for liability. A membership in a professional organization such as the American Disc Jockey Assoc. also shows that your DJ is respected in the profession.
-
Lastly, all the details of your event should be provided in writing so there is absolute understanding by both yourself and your DJ.
-
Like an experienced pilot, your DJ should have a written checklist for your event so that there is no room for error.
National organizations have suggested that the average price for a DJ is $1,200 for four hours.
-
Those who seek greater levels of service or longer hours should expect to pay more. Be cautious of those charging less — particularly if the price is well below this. A bargain might not seem so sweet after a wedding reception is unsuccessfully managed.
