Give Your Wedding Reception Some Life with a DJ

Your wedding reception should be exciting and a place where you and your guests can relax and enjoy each other. Deciding on the music for your reception is vital for setting the atmosphere at the reception. It is undoubtedly one of the biggest decisions that you are going to have to make in planning. The wedding dj you choose is going to have set the mood and tone of your reception and make sure everyone has a good time. Also, your wedding dj has to make sure you are the center of attention through out the evening.

There are more than 15,000 disc jockeys in the United States. This is small guide that can help you find the dj that will make your wedding reception something to remember. You don’t want to make a choice that you are going to regret.

- Ok, this is probably the simplest advice there is….. If you have been to a wedding just recently and really had a great time dancing to the dj, pick them. Go ahead and go with what you know, at least you won’t have to be afraid of the music you might get.

- If you are friends with people that are a little more party oriented, ask them if they know of a good dj. But, only do this if they enjoy the same type of music you do and if you really trust the advice you get from your friends. Otherwise, do not risk taking the chance.

- You can go online to pretty much any wedding planning site and look at their recommendations. Most will have at least one decent wedding dj that you can contact.

- Try to see the wedding dj in question, in person. If you can’t ask for a video recording of an recent event, a cd sample, or at the least a few photo’s of events they have hosted. A dj that is used often won’t have any trouble finding something to give to you and will keep track of their work.

- Be cautious of prices that are really low and really high. More often than not, you will end up frustrated at spending any amount of money because the quality is awful. Experience is key for a wedding dj, so ask about the amount of work they have done.

- Make sure that your dj’s voice isn’t going to drive you crazy. You are going to have to listen to them blaring into the microphone all day, so it is extremely important that you like the tone of their voice.

- If you have talked to your wedding dj and like them, as for a few references. He or she might be great at the interview, but could end up getting drunk or hitting on ever walking thing that passes by their booth at the reception.
