Looking for the perfect DJ? Here are the top ten questions you should ask before making your decision!
1. are you available
Before diving into details, confirm the DJ’s availability for your wedding date. If they’re not available, there’s no point in continuing the conversation.
2. How long have you been DJing weddings?
Experience matters! Make sure the DJ has enough wedding-specific experience to handle your event smoothly and professionally.
3. Will you be the DJ at our wedding?
If you're meeting with a DJ company, confirm whether the person you’re speaking with will actually be performing at your wedding. If not, request a meeting with the DJ who will.
4. Do you take requests?
A good DJ should be open to taking requests. It helps keep the energy alive and ensures that your guests enjoy the music, but they should also filter requests to match the vibe.
5. Will you honor play/do-not-play lists?
If you have specific songs you want or don’t want, make sure the DJ will honor those requests. A good DJ will respect your wishes, whether it's a playlist or a do-not-play list.
6. Do you have a contract?
A formal contract is a must. It protects both you and the DJ by clearly outlining the services provided, payment terms, and other important details.
7. Do you stream your music?
The DJ should have most of their music on a hard drive, rather than relying on streaming services. This ensures no interruptions due to internet issues or slow Wi-Fi.
8. What is your cancellation policy?
Understand the DJ’s cancellation policy and ask for it in writing. This protects you in case you need to make changes to your plans.
9. What will you wear to our wedding?
The DJ's attire should match the formality and style of your wedding. Ask them about their dress code to ensure they fit in with your event's vibe
10. Do you carry liability insurance?
A professional DJ should have liability insurance. This protects both the DJ and you in case of accidents or damages at your wedding. If the answer is no, move on to another DJ.
Asking these questions will help ensure that you find the right DJ for your wedding and avoid any potential issues on the big day!
