Disc Jockey entertainers are by far the most popular form of wedding entertainment because they have such a high degree of versatility. This versatility allows them to play music from every era, catering to you and your guests, so that everyone can get involved and have a great time. However, not all DJs are good DJs. Making the correct choice for your reception can lead to an elegant day filled with moments to remember. So here are a few suggestions to help you make the right choice.

Deal only with a professional DJ company. Professional DJs have the knowledge and expertise necessary to carry out a flawless reception. These companies have a much better track record for reliability. For example, if your scheduled DJ were to become ill, a professional DJ company has the resources to provide an equally qualified substitute. Make sure your DJ can offer you the quality, reliability and experience you expect and deserve.

Shop around! Your wedding day is the most important day of your life. So don’t limit your options by not seeing what is available. If you don’t already know of a DJ company, ask your friends and family members for referrals. Ask why they think the DJ is good and how you may contact them. Next, ask other wedding professionals (i.e. caterers, wedding planners, bridal shops, etc.) whom they would recommend. The American Disc Jockey Association (ADJA) is another excellent source for DJ referrals (www.adja.org). The ADJA is a national organization whose objective is to increase the overall level of professionalism in the DJ Industry. I suggest that you contact these companies that have been referred to you and request printed information as well as a price quote. The printed information should include a pamphlet, business card and a list of Frequently Asked Questions with their answers. Also inquire about any additional services (lighting, props, etc.) the DJ Service offers. Make sure these companies treat you in a courteous and professional manner.

Allow enough time to plan so your DJ can reserve that special date for you! Get a signed contract. Don't be afraid to ask questions. If possible meet with the DJ before the event so he can tailor your reception just for you. Know with confidence your professional DJ is the best.

Congratulations and may every happiness be yours.
