About booking a DJ

When booking a D.J. make sure you have plenty of time on your hands. The average person booking a D.J. should spend as much time booking the D.J., as that DJ will spend at their reception. There are many D.J.'s in CT, so make sure you take the time to interview several of them.

I used the word "interview" for a specific reason. Never should you forget that your D.J. (or any other service provider) is working for YOU, and only you. Without you, they're unemployed. The first thing that you should notice when speaking to a D.J. (usually over the phone) is whether or not they are kind and courteous towards you. Try to get a sense for how that D.J. will treat your closest family and friends.

You get what you pay for. Disc Jockeys in the Northeast net as much as $3,000 for a 5 hour wedding reception. Would you ever pay that much? If you saw their services you would. Your Disc Jockey is one of the largest factors on how well your over all day goes. Picking a cut-rate DJ might be the worst mistake you ever made.

Think about it. Your wedding lasts 30 minutes, pictures take an hour, dinner takes between 30-45 minutes. But the D.J. is the Master of Ceremonies for up to five, six, and in some cases 10+ hours! I'm sure you don't have to think very hard to come up with a memory of a wedding where the D.J. ruined the event.

Find a D.J. who cares more about you than themselves. Remember, you're the bride. Whatever you say goes. You're in charge of the volume, where the D.J. sets up, what they play, how many people they bring, etc.
