Dance it Up!
One thing to consider if you are getting married, I find that having a DJ is the best of both worlds. Having a live band is great, but who is there to MC and make sure the flow is going right. With a DJ, they are your point person and make sure your reception flows and things happen on time. OR that's what you are paying them for aren't you?~! Before you sign that contract, make sure what you are getting what you want.
Top 6 things you should have from your DJ
1. Meeting with them to tell him your yes songs and no songs. So if your aunt request the chicken dance they know it's off limits. (telling her kindly the bride and groom aren't taking requests)
2. Make sure the DJ isn't the party. Most people don't need and like for you to tell them to come dance. Their music should do the talking.
3. Make sure their equipment isn't too flashy and loud. (I know Grandma would appreciate you not sitting her next to the speaker too...)
3. They should meet with you also to go over your schedule. Since they MC most of your reception they should make sure the names of the wedding party are right, they know the song to your cake cutting and last song. Having a schedule set up makes sure you are both on the same page.
4. Can they work longer than you paid them? Sometimes your party could go a little longer and your dad may want to bring out the check book to show off his moves! Discuss beforehand to make sure with your venue and DJ!
5. Make sure you have a contract, even if you hire your friend. You always want to make sure you have something in writing, so if they are sick and can't show up they have a back up. Or you could get your money back!
6. DJ's make your party. If they are good they should have your party dancing all night long and want their business card for your next event!
I have been to too many weddings where the DJ ruined the wedding. If you know your crowd pick out your DJ accordingly. Look at their reviews online, testimonials or on www.weddingwire.com. If you go to a wedding or party and like the DJ make sure to get their contact info. Everyone's style is different, but sometimes you get what you pay for!
