Earlier today on Pinterest, I saw this great info gram from Premier Event DJs in Georgia. I see many Wedding DJ infograms and some are better than others. I think this one has merit and wanted to share it with you. I thought it might be helpful to you if I went ahead and answered therm as if you were asking me the questions yourself.

15 Questions To Ask Your Wedding DJ Before You Hire Them

1) I started as a DJ in 1980, believe it or not! I was not professionally performing as a Wedding DJ all of the years since, but have been a full-time Wedding DJ the last three.

2) About 80% of my DJ business is dedicated to being a Wedding DJ. The other 20% is performing as a Party DJ for Sweet Sixteens, Graduations, Birthdays and Reunions.

3) Yes I have many references from past clients who have loved my Wedding DJ and Party DJ performances! Just ask and I will connect them to you or you can view some reviews right now. I have some videos but they are mostly from Sweet Sixteens. You are welcome to view them as well.

4) I am fortunate that when I started as a Wedding DJ, we all were ‘traditional’ DJs who seamlessly beat-match. Today I am more known for my skills and experience as a professional Wedding MC in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.

5) Of course, you can choose your music, it is your Wedding! It baffles me that there are Wedding DJs that do not let you choose your music for your Wedding.

6) I will be performing at your Wedding or Party. If this is not the case, I will inform you of this during our first conversation, if I am not available but one of my excellent Wedding DJs are and would be a good match for your Wedding. You will know who is your Wedding DJ and it will be written into our DJ contract.

7) I typically have a second DJ with me about 75% of the Weddings we do. You decide in advance if you want to hire a one-person or two-person team of Wedding DJ and MC. I generally will recommend a two-person team for most Weddings but sometimes it is more than necessary, still your choice.

8) Yes, every good Wedding DJ should have several forms of back-up DJ equipment including emergency DJ equipment in case of power failures, you never know what can happen…

9) I use The BOSE L1 System with B1 Bass. It is amazing! My music is stored on my MacBook with several forms of back-ups for technical problems. My current DJ library of music is over 40,000 songs!

10) I would be honored to MC your Wedding! It is fun, exciting and helps me build connections to you and your friends and family. Of course, if you have a friend or family member you would prefer to MC, that is great too.

11) Yes my equipment is used by professional musicians and DJs who know the best. I only use BOSE for my audio sound and Shure wireless mics. By the way, The BOSE L1 System even looks good in your Wedding photos as a bonus.

12) My light show is simple and fun. I do not typically bring a real fancy light show because I want the focus to be on you, it’s your Wedding.

13) I generally do not take breaks. Some venues ask for the Wedding DJ to eat in another room. When this is their policy, I will put on a preprogrammed playlist of your music during dinner, but stay close enough to hear if there are any problems.

14) Overtime is paid in cash if you request this during your Wedding at $150/hour.

15) I have a Guarantee, all professional Wedding DJs should have some guarantee to give you complete peace of mind that I am as committed to your Wedding being amazing as you. Well maybe not as much as you, but you get the point. Do not pay me the balance if you are not completely satisfied with my performance as your Wedding DJ!
