We understand that for most people, choosing a DJ is often difficult and confusing, yet it's the most important decision you will make for your wedding reception. Since everyone claims to be "the best", how can you really find out who is good, and who is an amateur? For a once in a lifetime event like a wedding reception, you should hire a professional. Don't take chances with "a friend of a friend". Although people mean well, lack of experience or skill will not prepare them to handle unexpected details that happen during every wedding reception. A professional has seen it all and knows how to handle any unforeseen circumstances that may come up.

First I recommend you start with a Wedding DJ Specialist. A DJ from a club or school dance may be great in those surroundings, but they're not necessarily right for your wedding. A Wedding DJ Specialist is just that ... he specializes in DJ'ing at weddings. Most Wedding DJ Specialists have played every sort of party and club imaginable and are usually the most educated and professional of all Disc Jockeys.

Second, if you can, meet with the DJ Company. While distances between the company and customer cannot always afford this luxury and sometimes needs to be done via telephone, but if it's at all possible, efforts should be made to meet in person. You must be sure you are comfortable with the DJ's style and see if it is a good match for you. After all, they will be representing you at your wedding reception.

Then, check the history and background of the DJ Company. Do they have references? And don't just take their word for it, call several of their references and find out WHY the client loved their DJ.

Finally, it's important to never make the mistake of choosing a DJ by price alone. If the DJ is not a good fit, but IS the right price, it won't matter a bit if he ruins your special day that you spent big money and many months planning. Remember ... you get what you pay for. A good DJ isn't cheap and a cheap DJ isn't good!
