Hiring a DJ is easy. But hiring a great one that is right for you is a little harder. You need to put a little more time into getting the most qualified and best one for you.
Remember: “The entertainment you choose for your wedding or party is responsible for at least 80% of your events success and the memories you will have for the rest of your life”
Many people make a large investment in their wedding. Entertainment only represents 5% - 10% or the smallest part of your budget. Even so, many couples make the fatal mistake of bargain hunting to get the cheapest entertainment they can find. Again your entertainment is responsible for producing the results of 4 - 5 hours of the party or wedding day. Don’t skimp on the most important part of your event!
The DJ’s that are more experienced and professional will also tend to be a little higher in price.
Some Credentials You Should Look For Are:
Anyone can be a DJ, but not necessarily “everyone” has the ability to do it “extremely well”
Here are a few questions that may be helpful to ask your potential DJ:
What makes a DJ really special to you is the knowledge they possess in making song selections that really motivate your guests. Having a natural instinct in reading a crowd is essential to success! Natural talent includes a sense of timing, style and variations of presentation. So for example, DJ’s who are also real musicians would possess this talent and understanding of music. These DJ’s naturally understand how to use music to motivate any crowd.
Think of it this way; Playing a top hit is important - But picking one out of 12,000 top hits that will make the crowd dance into a frenzy is a discernable skill.
