Questions To Ask Your Wedding DJ

Is it already time to start thinking about your wedding DJ? Then you are up for a fun ride!

The music will be the heartbeat of your big day, so you’ll want to make sure that you get the right person for the job. But it can be difficult to know where to start. With so many questions to ask, how do you know which ones are the most important?

To help you out, we’ve put together a list of the most important questions to ask your wedding DJ before you book them:

1. How many weddings have you done?

This is a good question to start with because it will tell you how experienced your wedding DJ is. Moreover, it will show how much experience they have in handling situations that might come up at your own event.

2. What kind of music do you play?

This question is important because it will help you determine if your DJ’s taste in music aligns with your own. You’ll want to make sure that they’re able to play the type of music that you and your guests will enjoy dancing to.

3. Do you take requests?

It’s important to know if your wedding DJ is open to taking requests from you and your guests. You’ll want to make sure that they’re flexible and willing to play the songs that will help create a fun and festive atmosphere at your wedding.

4. What kind of equipment do you use?

This question is also important because it will give you an idea of the quality of sound that your wedding DJ will be able to provide. Make sure to ask about their speakers, amplifiers, mixers, and other pieces of equipment so that you can get an idea of what they have available.

5. Do you have any references?

It will allow you to hear from other couples about their experience with the DJ in question. References can be very helpful in making a decision about which wedding  DJ to hire.

6. What’s included in your services? 

The answer to this will clarify what exactly you are getting for your money. Make sure to ask about the number of hours they will be working, whether they provide music during breaks, and if they have any other services that might be included in their fee – or maybe an upgrade such as uplighting or a photo booth.

7. Can I see some photos of past events that were similar in size and scope to mine? 

This final question will give you a good idea of what to expect from the DJ in terms of their setup and how they interact with guests. It’s always helpful to see some photos so that you can get an idea of their style.

Now that you’ve got all the questions answered, it’s time to book your wedding DJ!
