Tips for choosing a DJ for your Wedding

• Professional wedding DJs are usually independents
  who own their own equipment, or they contract out
  through an event services company that provides
  the sound and lighting systems. These companies
  handle a variety of functions including corporate
  events, private parties, and weddings.
• When dealing with professional DJ services, ask
  them to provide at least two references or
  testimonials from previous clients. Check out
  their social media pages for customer reviews, as
  well as photos and videos of previous events.

• If you are dealing with an independent DJ, ask
  them about their previous experience, and if they
  have previous clients you can get a reference
  from. More importantly, ask about their
  equipment, and whether they have a back-up
  solution if their primary DJ system breaks down.
  A DJ from an event services company will almost
  always have back-up equipment available if
  something unfortunate happensthis isnt
  necessarily the case with independent DJs.
• Of course, you should speak to friends and family
  members about their experiences with wedding DJs,
  and get their recommendations as well.
• A basic DJ package for a wedding reception
  generally includes the following services

• Music for the cocktail hour as guests arrive
• Background music for the dinner service
• Music for the wedding reception dance
• A basic lighting package for the dance floor
• The cost of a basic package will depend on
  several factors, including the size of the venue
  and the number of guests attending. Larger venues
  require more powerful DJ systems to provide the
  appropriate sound levels.

Pro Tip

• The event manager at your reception venue is a
  well-informed source of intelligence on local
  wedding DJ services. They see dozens of wedding
  receptions every year, and are usually happy to
  share their observations and recommendations with
  you.
• Beyond the basics, there are other features that
  many DJ services can provide. Here are some
  examples of things you can shop around for when
  choosing a wedding DJ

Advanced Lighting Packages

•  DJ lighting can be as simple as a sparkling
  mirror ball and a few colored spotlights, or it
  can include elaborate banks of LED illumination
  and trellis-mounted lighting effects. Just be
  aware that the bigger the light show, the higher
  the bill will be.

 Audio/Video Extras

• Depending on where you hold your reception, you
  may need the DJ to provide a wireless microphone
  for toasts and speeches. Another popular A/V
  extra is a video screen or projector so you can
  show a photo montage or a specially prepared
  video to your guests.

Add-ons

•  Some DJ services have a variety of small add-ons
  that can add a lot to your special evening. How
  about some glow sticks to hand out to the young
  children in attendance? Or a handheld cannon
  that showers the newlyweds with a rain of
  streamers and confetti during their first dance?
  Some DJs will run an entertaining mini-event
  before or during the dance, usually a game
  involving the bride and groom or the members of
  their wedding party.
