Why Hiring a Wedding DJ is a Great Idea

(from Blue Sky Atlanta Entertainment)

When wedding guests think back about your nuptials, what memory stands out the most? A national poll found that 81% of wedding guests remember the reception most.*

The right entertainment either makes or breaks a wedding party.

                                         That’s why there are several reasons why hiring a professional DJ is worth the cost.

#1. Professional Expectations - The biggest advantage to using a wedding DJ is that he or she is a professional. DJs can read the crowd like an iPod never could, and they can adjust the music to fit the moment. Not enough people on the dance floor? A professional DJ knows tried-and-true songs that get wedding guests out of their seats.

#2. Mammoth Music Library – Nobody beats a DJ when it comes to music selection. A live band is limited in how many songs they know; an iPod is limited by its storage drive. Professional wedding DJs have access to thousands of different songs spanning all musical eras. Whether you want to hear ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’ during the father and daughter dance, or whether you want to move to the hottest tracks, use your DJ to help pick out the right tunes. A good wedding DJ listens to what you want and selects songs that meet your musical tastes.

#3. Big Sound – There is a world of difference between professional sound equipment and a pair of speakers used at home. Wedding DJs bring their own sound systems and they know how to set up for the best acoustics. No iPod or amateur DJ can match what a professional owns. While a novice DJ may have equipment that looks impressive, chances are that he or she doesn’t know all the controls.

#4. Flexible — A wedding DJ can work around your schedule. A DJ can come early, if needed. If you think your guests want to party past midnight, You can find a DJ who is willing to stay late.

#5. Extra Savings – Professional DJs are generally cheaper than a live band. Musical groups have more members, which means you may need to spend more money to pay them all.

#6. Disaster Protection – Novice DJs don’t belong to professional networks, and if there’s an emergency on your wedding day they can leave you high and dry without a replacement. If a Professional DJ gets sick, however, They will make sure that a qualified, talented replacement DJ performs at your wedding. No last-minute cancellations without a replacement:

 

Furthermore,  A wedding DJ, however, is prepared for equipment failures. They’ve designed a plan that can save your wedding reception in the event of any technical disasters.

 

Why should you choose a wedding DJ? And how do you choose a great one? Check out these tips for your wedding day:

 

1. A wedding DJ makes for a stress-free reception. The last thing you want to worry about on your wedding day is making sure that the music sounds good. If you hire a wedding DJ you won’t have to worry about that at all. The music is pre-recorded and is very unlikely to face any hiccups along the way.

 

2. There is a pre-set playlist. DJ’s allow you to give them a set list of songs you want played at the wedding. If you hire a good wedding DJ they will ask for your favorite songs and will be sure to play them throughout the wedding. Additionally you won’t have to worry about “R-rated” music being played that could offend your guests.

 

3. There is little to no coordination needed on your part. Wedding DJs have all the equipment that is necessary to make the reception run smoothly. They’re experienced at performing at weddings, so they don’t need to be micromanaged and they don’t need to be given too much direction. They’re professionals who can get the job done with minimal oversight.

 

4. You can always add music to your playlist. DJ’s have an endless supply of music at their fingertips, and if you forgot to request one song you just knew had to be played at the wedding, do not despair. Your DJ more than likely has it in his computer.

 

5. DJ’s bring more than just music. Most wedding DJs include lights that set the mood for the party. Some even include a karaoke machine. They are all in one entertainment and work their hardest to get everyone out on the dance floor having a good time. They are professionals and most have done hundreds of weddings across their career. Experience coupled with the right equipment makes for the perfect reception!

 

6. DJ’s guide your guests through the wedding. In addition to playing music and setting the mood, most DJ’s tell people when to get on the dance floor, what is going on during the reception, and are also responsible for introducing the couple for the first time. All of this is important, and pretty much impossible without a DJ.

 

7. They amp up your guests. If you want your wedding to be a party, then a DJ is the way to go. They have the charisma and passion to make your guests have a great time. Because let’s face it, after the ceremony is over all you are going to want to do is party.

 

8. A DJ can make your wedding day easier. If you don’t have a wedding planner, then a DJ is absolutely necessary to keep everything moving along smoothly throughout the wedding. Imagine trying to run your iPod to make sure the mood is set for dinner, then run back to cut the cake, then go back to change the song to the first dance. It’s ridiculous! You have to have someone in charge, and a wedding DJ will fit the bill nicely.
