Choosing Your DJ- Chris Startt
Chris was a joy to work with. He was very profession, and had a wide variety of music that fit the crowd. He was not tacky but had a good sense of what should be played that will bring the crowd in to whatever mood that is appropriate for the time.
When a bride chooses a DJ...... The most important day of a young lady's life is her wedding day. This, above all days, should be the perfect day.Hiring a dj should be one very important aspect of that day. As important as picking the venue, the photographer, the caterer, and the florist. We all know that the ceremony is most important, but what about the reception?...The place where all gather for food, drink, and celebration. Picking the right dj is paramount in getting the party livened up. Most good dj's get work from word of mouth and personal recommendations. Others advertise.
When hiring a dj you will need to know some basic things
- will you be getting the person you talked to, or an employee of that dj company
- does the dj play a complete variety of music choices
- when will the dj arrive
- when does his time start
- what attire will he wear
- ask for references- follow up and check them
- does your dj use lighting
- does the dj carry back-up equipment in the event of a failure
-does the dj help in setting up events during the evening -dances,cake cutting, ect
- would you be able to bring your own music
- will your dj arrange to meet with you personally to go over the agenda
-in the event of an emergency would your dj have a back up plan in case he was unable to work for you
These are things you would need to be aware of when hiring a DJ.
Remember, the cheapest isn't usually the best. If you want to go cheap than that is usually what you will get.
A good DJ will work well with the caterer, the photographer, videographer, and client, to make sure all things run smoothly at the reception. A lot of these trades will recommend good dj's. Keep that in mind also.
The most important thing to remember is that if the Dj does a poor job at your reception, that is all the guests will remember of your day. A good Dj will only make the memories better.
