Wedding Planning Tips

The preparations for your special day will definitely exhaust you, and since you are ready to invest a good amount of money for a perfect wedding, you should get only the best services. Your wedding DJ is a key figure at your wedding, because if you have quality music and an entertaining show, everybody will feel good. Entertainment is not only about playing 300 musical pieces from a USB connected to a laptop, but it is something more than that. You should choose a professional DJ for your wedding if you want to see people dancing joyously and having fun all night long at your wedding.

First impression always matters

You should never book a DJ online from a company, without actually meeting him in person. There are many companies that promise you a highly entertaining show with the best DJ in town, and then on your reception day you will realize that you don’t like the music, you don’t like the DJ himself, and all your efforts might be in vain because of the unpleasant atmosphere at your wedding.

Therefore, make a list with a few companies, and ask to meet the DJ in person. Watch his character, the way he speaks, because such little things will make you understand a great deal about the person and whether he is professional or not.

The conversation should flow smoothly and should be an indicative of the type of person you are dealing with

Ask a few things to get an idea whether he is the perfect entertainer:

• How is he going to be dressed at the wedding? Most of the professional DJ’s will wear elegant tuxedos, after all a wedding is a truly special occasion and not a rap concert.
• Will they put at your disposal music lists, so that you can choose what you would like to hear on your special day, and of course what you wouldn’t like to hear at all. A badly chosen song, which for you brings about painful memories, could ruin your good disposition, so you need to keep in mind this aspect too.
• Ask him if he can provide you with a short video to see how the announcements are made- there should be a nicely formulated and voiced announcement before each of the following events: the grand entrance, cutting of your wedding cake, the toasts, and so on. If you don’t like what you see or hear on the video material provided, it is probably time to skip to your next choice on the list. Also, keep an eye on the announcements made for dedication requests and any other special announcements during the wedding.
• Do they have included in the price any specials? Such as lighting shows, Karaoke Shows, different games to entertain the guests, extra surprises such as a bubble machine, etc. All these little things will make your wedding grand!

Summing it up

• The DJ should come up with interesting recommendations during your conversation. He has seen and heard many things (if he is a professional!), so he can make your wedding even more special.
• He should be a pleasant personality, listening to your wishes, and actively taking part in your conversation. If he is interested in offering you the best, he will at least ask you what the theme of your wedding is.
