Dancing at a wedding completes the wedding and a good DJ is vital if you want a successful and fun filled wedding and party.
Unless your wedding is small and at city hall, you will want city wedding DJs who will really get your wedding party going. Wedding DJs are fabulous in that they will play the right music for your first dance, and then, they will really get the party going for your guests. There is a real art to being a DJ, which means you need to choose the right DJ from the very beginning. A good DJ will do a whole lot more than just play a whole lot of good music at your wedding. Firstly, they will play the best music at your wedding, not just good music. They will do your wedding dance song. They will make announcements. They will introduce people who are doing speeches. They will speed up the tempo, or slow it down, as the atmosphere instructs. And they will ensure you have a fabulous time, you and your guests.
Choosing a DJ for your wedding
You need to get recommendations for a few DJs, preferably from friends who have already used wedding DJs, meet them, face-to-face or an on online platform to start off with, and talk about your wedding. You will know almost immediately if they are the right DJ for your wedding. They will be the one asking questions, finding out about the size of your wedding, the time of your wedding, the kind of wedding you would like to have, the age-group of your wedding, the music you love, the music your partner loves, and the music you think your guests will love. The DJ, and you should have a good conversation, will inspire confidence or should inspire confidence. If they don’t, find another DJ.
Expectations from a DJ
You have one big expectation and that is for your wedding to be a huge success. The other exceptions are that they get the music right, that they know when to do a slow dance, or slow dancing and when to do a bit of disco or rock n roll, that they act as a Master of Ceremonies if you want them to, and that they get the tone right. You are only going to have one wedding, hopefully, and you want to get all aspects of your wedding right. You want the right venue, right caterer, right flowers, right photographer, right decor, right seating and right music. You want it to go perfectly and if you are hiring everyone or everything directly, i.e. not through a wedding planner, you need to be super careful and really on top of everything. And even if you have a wedding planner, you need everything to be wonderful and so you need to double check on each little detail too. Don’t leave anything to chance.
We almost forgot to mention the wedding dress and wedding suit! Have a checklist for everything you need to do to make your wedding perfect, including finding the best city wedding DJs for your special event.
