Whether you hear wedding bells or some other instrument, having the best DJ for your wedding accounts for a huge part of your big day—maybe even more than you think it does.
Think of your wedding as a romantic musical. You need the right music to set the tone for everything. From walking down the aisle to getting down on the dance floor with your entourage, you need to think about choosing the right DJ to ensure you have a great time with your family and friends.
Questions The Best DJ for Your Wedding Should Ask You
This article breaks down the questions that the best wedding DJs should ask you. Yes, believe it or not, experienced wedding DJs also have screening questions for their potential clients! Sure, not all wedding DJs will screen clients, but we certainly do. We want to be sure that we’re the right fit for each other.
So if we feel like we may not be the best fit for your wedding, we’ll be upfront and let you know that. We’ve declined weddings because we want to know without a doubt, that we can carry out your wedding day vision. If you want Polka music all night, we may not be the best fit for you. haha
When you hear or read the questions below, they should be music to your ears because this means that the DJ knows what he/she is talking about! If they don’t ask, don’t fret. Simply look into these questions and give them the answers they need to know. After all, this is literally instrumental to your big day harmoniously coming together.
1. What’s Your Wedding Theme & Vision?
Hiring a DJ for your wedding means having a preset lineup of songs for your whole wedding event. This playlist has to cater to the theme of your wedding, such as some Texas country wedding songs, or regular Country wedding songs, Motown hits, etc. Whatever the theme, the best DJ for your wedding should know the appropriate music for your wedding theme and vision.
If you want to be more direct, you can also give the DJ a playlist of your suggestions. Maybe you want traditional wedding music like “Canon in D” for your walk down the aisle. Perhaps you want non-traditional wedding songs, so you suggest your favorite new ballad, instead. Whatever your vibe, be sure your wedding DJ understands your vibe and vision.
2. Do You Have a Playlist Started?
Now that the DJ for your wedding knows your theme, you may also want to give him/her some freedom by having a small playlist. If you have a Spotify account, you can create a playlist and share your couple’s playlist with the DJ. Then, you can “heart” or favorite the tracks that you like. This will give your wedding DJ a better understanding of your taste in music and what you want to hear on your big day.
This is especially important during the wedding reception. If you really want to do minimal planning, just let the DJ do his/her thing. The couple’s playlist will already be very insightful. Your wedding DJ may even surprise you with a song that you didn’t think about but wish you did. Whether your taste is in traditional or non-traditional music, let the DJ mix and make magic with the music.
3. What Songs do You Want for Your Wedding Ceremony?
Apart from your ideal reception music, you also want to consider the appropriate wedding ceremony music. Schedule a meeting with your wedding DJ and discuss your ideas. Go through the entire ceremony, if you want, and talk about how fast or slow you want to walk. You can also ask your significant other for suggestions or input.
Conclusion
For walking down the aisle to dancing as newlyweds, the DJ knows what beat and rhythm will help you ease in and move comfortably throughout the whole wedding. Choosing the best wedding DJ helps you relax and know that you’re in good hands. The best DJ for your wedding will really help set the mood for every portion of the wedding.
