Finding The Perfect DJ

There are hundreds of wedding disc jockeys in NJ! But how do you find the wedding disc jockey that's perfect for you?

Choosing your wedding DJ can be a fun part of your wedding preparations. If your deciding between DJ or band the first thing you should consider is budget. Most wedding bands cost between $6,000-$10,000! So if that’s in your budget then good for you! Bands can add a really special touch to your wedding. But for the majority of you, a DJ is your best bet!

Below you will read some tips on finding the perfect DJ for you!

Ask your friends, and other vendors for recommendations.
  • Your DJ is the person who will set the mood for your whole night so it’s important to choose the right one. Ask around for recommendations! Check with your professional vendors because they are the ones who work with these DJ’s most often. Vendors know exactly who will bring the party and keep your guests dancing the night away!
Hiring a friend or hobbyist to DJ your event.
  • No matter what your budget is, it’s never a good idea to use a friend or hobbyist to DJ your event. As I mentioned before your DJ will play an instrumental part in your guests overall experience and you want them to have a great time! You want to be able to trust your wedding with professionals who know exactly how to get people out of their seats and enjoy the dance floor. If being a DJ was as easy as owning an Ipod, everyone would do it! Trust me when we tell you, the extra money you spend will be worth it!
CD vs. Digital
  • When meeting with DJ’s find out if they use CD’s or Digital Music. While some DJ’s still mix CD’s, you definitely get more for your money with a DJ who uses Digital Music. Your DJ has an unlimited resource of music at his finger tips throughout the night. So you’ll never hear, “I’m sorry I don’t have that song“.
Equipment
  • Make sure your DJ comes to your event with back up equipment. This is again why it is so important to hire a professional. I’ve seen it happen before, and you don’t want to be the wedding whose music skipped, speakers didn’t work right, or for goodness sake didn’t play at all! Electronics sometimes break at no fault of your DJ’s and you want to make sure your DJ is fully prepared to swap out equipment if something goes wrong! Most likely the equipment at your wedding will work fine but do you really want to risk being the wedding where it doesn’t?
