Dance The Night Away
| Q | We're looking for a DJ for our wedding but are feeling overwhelmed by the amount of choice available. What should we do to help narrow down the options? |
| A | Ravi Chagger says: Choosing the right DJ for your wedding can feel overwhelming, but these tips will make the process easier. Before you review the online presence of DJs, which is the preferred method, start by calling a few DJs directly for a feel of their approach. If you have specific music preferences, different to your typical wedding, ask if they're comfortable delivering your style. While many DJs know what works at weddings, your big day should reflect your taste — not a generic playlist. Consider your venue. Check if the DJ is familiar with it and ask about setup requirements. Many venues impose restrictions, like using their in-house PA systems, dancefloor or may have a sound limiter installed. Clarify these details with the venue before you proceed. Once you've shortlisted options, ask direct questions: Can the DJ share an example playlist? Are they willing to meet or conduct a site visit? How do they engage with crowds and manage requests? Ensure they have backup equipment and contingencies. Also, enquire about other suppliers they work with — you might secure a package deal. Always review their contract carefully to confirm pricing, setup, and terms. Following these steps will help you filter your options and select a DJ who creates an unforgettable soundtrack for your day. |
