One important aspect of any wedding celebration is the music. Not only does it set the tempo and vibe of the entire event but it also allows you create an atmosphere that will personify your and your significant other's unique personalities. No matter what choice of musical genre you opt to have at your wedding reception, it's important to book a wedding DJ that will compliment your requests and ideas. Below are 25 important questions that you need to ask as you interview each of your wedding DJ vendor choices. A professional DJ should be able to answer each of these questions with a precise answer.Will you personally be the DJ for our reception?
Have you performed at our chosen wedding venue before?
If so, how did that go and what difficulties did you experience?
How many weddings have you performed your services at?
Do you also Emcee the reception?
What does that consist of?
What time do you arrive to setup your equipment?
What is your attire you will be wearing during your DJ service?
How many songs do you have in your music library?
What format is your music in? (i.e. records, cassettes, CD)
Do you provide cocktail/ dinner music?
Do you provide a wireless microphone for speeches?
Do you bring backup equipment with you?
Can we choose from a song list?
Are basic effects lighting included?
Will you need a tablecloth or linens for the DJ table?
Is a deposit required? If so, how much?
When is the deposit due?
When is the final payment due?
What percentage are the taxes?
Is gratuity included in the price?
Are there any additional charges not mentioned? (i.e. travel)
Will you be available to eat a meal while DJing?
How many breaks do you take?
Do you provide a written contract and guarantee?
Most importantly, remember that one of the most important resources you can use to narrow down your DJ choices are local reviews from area couples that have used their services before. Wedding Wire and Yelp are great tools that every bridal planning couple should look into. Good luck!
