How to choose the best DJ for your wedding?

The trend of hiring DJs at weddings is very common and almost everybody hires one. The choice of DJ should be made wisely while taking under consideration a number of factors. First of all, you should visit those DJs who are well known and who are certain to make the event livelier according to your desires. You can consider DJs whose performance you have already seen in another wedding and admired. You can also ask your friends to recommend some good DJs who have enough knowledge about them. You should not take any risks while making this choice because music is one of the most noticeable parts of a wedding.

After shortlisting two or three top list DJs, you should visit them yourself if you find time to do so; otherwise, you can also ask any reliable friend to do the job. Then you should definitely go for the best of them. After that, you must tell him about all your requirements related to music, such as when to play party music, when to play romantic music and so on. You can also specify the songs for different events of the wedding, like the music when the bride and groom enter the lace, when they cut the cake or do any other traditional activities. Similarly, for the reception and dances at the entrance and at the end of the wedding; the complete theme should be set and the DJ should be told about all the musical requirements clearly so that there are no mistakes made later.  

You should also specify the number of hours you will want the DJ to work during the wedding. Moreover, if there is a chance of the event getting finished late at night, he must be informed about that earlier as well. All the related matters should be sorted out and the charges must be finalized before the ceremony. If you want some additional services from the DJ, like focusing the spotlight on the bride, there would definitely be some additional charges but you should try considering the packages for weddings offered at affordable rates.  

On the wedding day, you should ask someone to check in on the DJ every once in a while to make sure everything is working nicely. The DJ should also be offered food and should be treated with respect like the other guests. It is okay to trust the choice of the DJ for the songs to be played randomly at the event at the time of dinner, as he knows about the music that is suitable for that specific time. However, you can also provide him with your own playlist that you like. All these things must be kept in mind while hiring a DJ in order to enjoy only the best services and make the wedding ceremony even more memorable.
