Your wedding music is of the utmost importance for the success of this huge event in your life. Regardless of whether you want a small wedding in New Mexico or a very luxurious, large event, you want to hire a DJ who will actually entertain every single guest.

What are some of the most important things to keep in mind when looking for the right wedding DJ? We have gathered some of the most important questions you should ask – read on and find out more.

·       How many weddings have they worked? We know there are a lot of young talents who might not have a lot of experience in mixing music for weddings. However, if you want to be absolutely certain of how qualitative a DJ’s services are, ask them how many weddings they have worked (and not necessarily how many years they’ve had in the field).

·       Have they ever worked your wedding venue? This is important because the acoustics of one venue may be completely different from the acoustics of another venue, and your DJ should know what kind of equipment is best suited for your particular location. If they have never mixed music in your wedding venue, you might want to make sure they take a visit down there before the Big Day.

·       What is their style? You want your wedding DJ to be on the same page with you on a variety of topics because, after all, they will not only mix music, but they will also announce the biggest wedding moments. Talk to them about their style and, if possible, watch recordings of weddings they’ve worked.

·       How many hours will they play for? Most DJs play for a given number of hours (this will be specified in the contract) – so if you want them to mix music for more than that, be sure to negotiate it with them from the very beginning. Otherwise, any overtime will be charged extra – and you probably don’t want this kind of surprises at the end of your wedding day).
