The Importance of a Professional DJ at your Wedding

A wedding is said to be the one event that will stay in a couple's consciousness for their entire lives. It is an event that is symbolized by true love between two people. The success of a wedding reception has lots of variables, but one certainty; did EVERYONE at the wedding enjoy themselves!  Entertainment preparation is thus imperative to execute the perfect wedding.

In addition to all the thousand details that you need to keep up with in planning your wedding, insuring that you have a great professional DJ should be at the top of the list. You may think anyone can play music, but keep in mind this will be the entertainer at your reception contributing to over 80% of the success of the wedding.  He will be interacting with not just you but your guests and the other on-site vendors.

There are two aspects of wedding music that need to be addressed when planning your big day. First you may wish to select certain music for your professional wedding DJ to play during the actual wedding ceremony. Next, the wedding reception; it's pretty much anything goes when it comes to selecting wedding music, provided it's tasteful fun and appealing to everyone.  Don't just hire someone and tell them be here at 6. Be sure he fully understands what is expected of him and that he keeps your vision and expectations front and center!

He should be able to give you advice and suggestions for improving the tone and atmosphere of your wedding.  An experienced professional DJ knows what works and what doesn't at a wedding as many have performed at hundreds.  He should be asking questions like the size of the crowd, the median age of the crowd and how interactive would you like him to be; he should also be getting a feel for the type of atmosphere that you want portrayed at your wedding.

Be sure you and your professional wedding DJ have a plan in place to ensure success.  Sit down with the DJ prior to the ceremony and go over details such as what he should be doing for the all the important events that will be taking place during your wedding and reception.  He should have a detailed planning form for you to fill out and listings of his music for you to build a suggested playlist from.
