DJ/KJ Questions

DJ Information

* Your wedding will most likely require music to satisfy all ages and musical tastes so ask about variety and the policy on requests.
* Find out about equipment. A DJ should have professional sound equipment - not "home consumer" gear.
* If lighting is important to you, ask about special effects.
* A good DJ will take the time to explain how they will handle the details of the introductions, first dance, toast, blessing, cake cutting, bouquet & garter and special requested dances.
* They should be able to communicate well with you and should be willing to listen to your ideas and meet any special needs.
* Your DJ should be familiar with most of the music you want and should know how to organize the reception within your guidelines.
* Try to determine if your DJ has the ability and willingness to "read" and motivate the crowd.
* Most reputable DJ's will provide you with song lists and an informational planning sheet.
* Does he/she have the ethnic or “special” songs that you want played?
* Will he/she buy music for you or will you supply him/her with the sound tracks?
* When dealing with large companies meet with the DJ that will be performing at your reception.
* Ask if there is videotape of your DJ at a wedding that you can see.
* Ask if there are any references or thank you cards that you can see.
* Ask your DJ if he performs at a bar/nightclub so that you can see him in action.
