Finding an amazing disc jockey (DJ) for your wedding is no walk in the park as there are so many things to consider. However, before hiring that DJ, you must be able to provide adequate answers to the following questions to demonstrate his proficiency.
1. Are you a full time DJ?
It’s important for you to know that the DJ you want to hire isn’t just a one-dimensional part-timer who may not put enough time into the job. He must be involved full-time with quality experience spanning multiple events. He must be a true performer who can handle difficult audiences without stress and satisfy them.
2. How do you deal with song requests?
You need to hire a DJ who knows how to strike a balance between the couple’s song requests and those of the guests so that both parties are adequately satisfied.
3. How do you personalize the musical experience of each couple?
He should be able to provide a soundtrack for your wedding that depends on your taste, style, and vision for the day. He should be able to voluntarily accept his music lists that he should play and not play because you are supposed to be in control of the music that will be played that day.
4. Can I hear some mix samples and mixes of different tracks?
It should be able to blend songs harmoniously to the point that you don’t even notice. There should be no artless silence between songs as this will make your party boring.
5. What sound equipment do you work with? Do you have backup?
The equipment a DJ uses is just as important as the musical instruments. Your turntable, microphone, mixer, computer, etc., must be up to date to get the best mix for your party. It is also important to have backup equipment to protect against unforeseen circumstances.
6. How do you get the crowd going?
DJs have plenty of bait to encourage guests to take to the dance floor. You can request a video of past performances to gauge the skills of the DJ you want to hire to entertain guests.
7. Why should I choose you as my wedding DJ?
Providing a satisfactory answer to this question will go a long way towards proving that you are about to hire a competent DJ. He should be able to tell you what makes him unique in the industry and this will help you make a vital decision that will make your wedding a success.
