Wedding Entertainment
Current info about wedding entertainment is not always the easiest thing to locate. Fortunately, this report includes the latest wedding
entertainment info available.
Picking out a disc jockey for your wedding entertainment can be very key to the success of the event. Below are some questions that
should always be asked before saying ‘how much do you charge?’
1. What type of party experience does your DJ have? Is he or she experienced enough to handle unforeseen circumstances that may
arise. They should offer appropriate music during certain times. Dinner and cocktail music should be played during the meal and
change to dance or upbeat music after, when the couple feels is appropriate. Additionally, the DJ should work well with other
professionals, such as the caterer and photographer.
2. What type of events does your DJ regularly play? Obviously one would prefer the answer ‘weddings.’ Many disc jockeys
serve other markets and only do weddings when one comes along. Weddings are unique from proms or clubs and should be treated that way by
entertainers. There is certain etiquette that needs to be displayed in a wedding entertainer, and an inexperienced DJ can end up ruining
your wedding reception.
If your wedding entertainment facts are out-of-date, how will that affect your actions and decisions? Make certain you don't let important
wedding entertainment information slip by you.
3. Can the DJ provide local references? The key to a disc jockey service is repeat business and word of mouth advertising. Ask for
phone numbers or email addresses of past customers and have questions prepared to ask them about their experiences with the DJ.
4. Is the disc jockey’s price a good value? Shop around but don’t settle for the bottom line. There are bargain DJ services
where you get more than your money’s worth. There are also services that will charge you too much. Watch out for companies that will
try to take advantage of a couple preparing for a wedding.
5. What type of equipment will your DJ use? Make sure there is all professional equipment, no home speakers and home-built
lights. You are hopefully hiring a professional who takes his job seriously. Make sure they have made an investment in
equipment. Only expect the best. No bride and groom should have to worry about the microphone or speakers dying in the middle of
their reception!
6. Will the DJ play a wide variety of music? You want to find a DJ that will entertain everyone at the reception. The music
library should contain everything from big band , oldies, disco, country, rock, and should be on digital compact disc. They should also
offer to purchase any of your special songs that they do not have in their music library. Also, ask for a sample music listing.
As your knowledge about wedding entertainment continues to grow, you will begin to see how wedding entertainment fits into the overall scheme of
things. Knowing how something relates to the rest of the world is important too. James Mahony is the founder of The Wedding Handbook - A site dedicated to Weddings
