Things to Consider When Booking a Wedding Reception DJ

Most DJ’s like to include the requests of the wedding guests too as well as those requested in advance by the Bride and Groom. Remember when booking a DJ you are also paying for his/her experience as an entertainer so please be prepared to allow a little flexibility and continuity in your personal music choices and any request list which you may chose to provide your DJ with.



At most weddings it is often a custom for the Bride and Groom to choose the first dance and this signals the start of the actual evening function. At some weddings the Bride and Groom may also choose a second track too. This can be used to invite other guests onto the dance floor to join the happy couple, or for the Bride and her father to share a dance.



When choosing a Mobile Disco do not just base your requirements and expectations on price alone. At many Wedding Receptions, large amounts of money have usually already been spent on the venue, the venue décor, flowers, food and of course the wedding cake and other services such as a photographer. Some may think nothing of spending hundreds on extras such as a chocolate fountain whilst skimping on the entertainment. Whilst these areas are also important many clients do make the mistake of booking a cheaper wedding discos as a way of saving money and are then disappointed with the results.



It is false economy to just book the Mobile DJ who comes in with the lowest quote. Don’t forget that the evening’s entertainment will play a big role in the success of any Wedding Reception and an inexperienced DJ, or one who doesn’t turn up at all, may ruin an otherwise perfect day. Equally a DJ who plays too loudly or who plays unsuitable music may chase away your guests early and ruin the enjoyment of those who do remain until the end. When booking a wedding reception DJ you are paying for the difference between a jukebox in the corner and a professional entertainer and the latter will of course expect a professional fee for their services.
