Your wedding is a very special occasion that takes a lot of time, energy, and money to plan! The entertainment that you choose should reflect your
personality and style.

A party is by definition an “entertainment function,” and a great DJ entertainer will keep your guests involved and entertained throughout your reception!

There are many different types of DJs (Club, Radio, Teen Dance, Mitzvah, and Corporate), so be sure to ask what types of events their company usually performs at. Once you’ve contacted a Wedding DJ, that you like, be sure to schedule an in-person consultation so the DJ can learn more about your
wedding vision.

Services A Professional Wedding Entertainer Provides Personalized Pre-Planning: Most performers will meet and stay in touch with
you to organize your time line and to customize your music requests.
Professional DJ Equipment: Ask if your DJ will bring an appropriate sound system for the size of your function space, and if they bring backup equipment
with them?

Music Library and Programming: Your DJ entertainer can create an elegant atmosphere or will keep your guests on the dance fl oor by playing the right
music at the right time to give your party personality and timing! Requests should be welcomed.

Master of Ceremonies: The #1 fear in America is public speaking; so having a polished Emcee (or “spokesperson”) is essential to making your
announcements in a timely and considerate manner, and engaging your guests to participate in the festivities.

Entertainment: Look for a DJ who will create a “Family Friendly Environment” and one who will provide the level of interaction that you desire.

Coordination: While most wedding DJs do not offer the same level of service as a professional wedding coordinator, your entertainer will play a major role in
making sure your reception runs smoothly.

If you are interviewing with a larger mobile DJ company or an Entertainment Agency, make sure to meet with the person they have selected for you
BEFORE you sign the agreement.

During your DJ search, you may notice that there is a wide range of pricing options. The reality is that every DJ company offers different levels of planning,
expertise, experience, talent, and commitment.
