What To Consider When Booking A Wedding DJ Austin TX

By Douglas Sullivan


Planning a wedding means worrying about things that you don't usually worry about. Unless you have had the chance to plan a number of very large events, making plans for your special day, you will want to look at hiring a wedding DJ Austin TX in order to provide music for your guests to dance and party to. Here are a few things to consider when hiring a DJ.

Many people make the mistake of thinking that they can save money on a DJ. The rise of music streaming services and compact disc burning software makes some couples think that they get away with renting a sound system and looking after the tunes themselves. They may find that they get part way through the evening without guests getting up and dancing. A professional can really help make sure that the party is fun and entertaining for everyone.

If you are looking for a way to save money on your DJ, you might want to find out if your reception venue can provide one for a fee. This can be good for a number of reasons. One is that if the DJ is employed by your reception space they are likely going to be familiar with the equipment that is available and the acoustics of the reception space.

If you have been looking at reception venues you know that they can vary quite a bit from location to location. A larger space can mean that it is difficult to fill the room with sound while a smaller venue can mean that guests may have a hard time being overheard. Does a potential service provider have the equipment needed to entertain guests at an outdoor venue if you decide to go that route?

If you are having your reception in the same space as your ceremony you might want to find out if the DJ can play music while you walk down the aisle. An increasing number of couples are choosing to do this. It can be easier to get the song you want. Just remember that if you want a specific song you should communicate this to the DJ you hire well in advance so they can be sure to get a copy for you.

A good DJ will discuss important songs with you but may want to have more input over the rest of the music. If you have your own preferences, make sure you communicate them when you are interviewing different service providers. You may want to find out when you need to get any song request lists to your DJ so that they have time to look up more obscure songs.

While you may just want to give your DJ a list of songs and let them deal with how the rest of the evening will go, you may find that you are unhappy with your reception experience. Giving even basic information such as what the schedule will be, who will speak and when the speeches will happen, and if there are any songs that you do not want to hear. That way you get the kind of reception experience you want.

There are many places to look in order to find potential professionals. Wedding shows can be a great place to look and you can also find entertainment companies by looking online. If you have had a friend who was recently married you may want to speak with them to find out who they recommend and who they suggest you stay away from.
