FINDING THE RIGHT DJ

November 19, 2014germel boado

In my opinion, THE most important vendor at a wedding is the DJ. A good DJ not only keeps the party moving, but they also carefully curate the perfect moods for each moment. The quality of the DJ's abilities sets the tone in a lot of ways. With all these moving factors, it's a good idea to know what to look for when finding the right DJ.

I've asked a few of my fellow peers to list 5 qualities that make a great DJ. Read their responses below.

Please feel free to share and/or comment on this post!

1. Music selection / knowledge - can this person handle any music format, genre etc

2. Professsionalism - Will they be professional at the event, and dealing with with client

3. Equipment - Will there be issues during the event? Is their setup clean and neat. Can they provide the extra services you might require?

4. MC - Will the DJ be the MC as well? Is he comfortable doing that? Does his personality mesh well with the tone you want to set for the event?

5. Skill - Are they boring? /Are they a club dj, just play songs etc...
