Check out this write up on the Exquisite Weddings Magazine website about a recent guest speaking session I had with Rachel Welland her team of ladies from Bliss Events.  It was an hour or so of talking DJ'ing and I brought the Dj players along so they could get a chance to check it out first hand.

THEIR TIPS FOR FINDING THE RIGHT DJ:

Questions to ask your DJ
1. How long have they been DJing? How many years have they been working weddings – specifically?
2. Do they have any videos of themselves emceeing at a wedding? (this can help you know if you like their emcee style)
3. Do they provide lighting (i.e. dance floor lights, uplighting, gobo light, etc.)?
4. What is their back-up plan in the case of equipment failure?
5. Can they provide a sound system and microphone for the ceremony also?
6. Do they have a list of suggestions they can share with you of special dances (Father-Daughter, Mother-Son, etc.)?
7. What will they wear at your wedding?
8. How do they feel about taking requests? (note: if you do not want them taking requests, they should be comfortable telling the guests that and not taking requests)
9. Will they want to have a final meeting or phone call with you shortly before the wedding?
