Noosa Wedding Music Dj Tips
Choosing the right wedding music entertainment on your wedding day.
Tips for choosing a DJ for your function will be one of the most important decisions you will have to make to insure the success of your wedding event. On your wedding day everything else can be perfect, but if the music or entertainment isnt good, your wedding guests won't be enjoying the party as much as they could be. Having to select the right wedding Music entertainment DJ can be confusing task. With such a wide range of wedding DJs in Australia to choose from, and all promising they'll do the best job for you on your wedding day. The big question, how do I pick the right Wedding music of Dj for my wedding day? If you read on then we'll provide some guidance for you to help you make your decision much easier.
How can I tell which wedding music Dj is best? Well lets make the first and most important point, the worst way you can choose your wedding music DJ is on price alone. There are wedding music DJs that are more expensive than others. The cost of a wedding music Dj can range from $200 to $1500 for a 4 - 6 hour wedding event. That certainly is quite a difference in price range, and how temping it is to choose the cheapest priced wedding Dj. If your budget only allows for $200 then you really have no choice except to pray that your wedding music Dj has had lots of professional experience performing for $200 a night. Well, ever heard of supply and demand. Yes thats right there is a reason some wedding music DJs charge more money than others. THEY'RE USUALLY WORTH IT!. More expensive wedding DJs have been in the wedding music entertainment for a lot longer than cheap wedding Djs. Experienced wedding music Dj's charge more because they have a lot of jobs, and they have worked up a good reputation in the wedding industry. In most cases wedding music Dj's on the low end of the price scale are new to the wedding industry, and are trying to get themselves established. Sure they could do a great job on your wedding day, and might be worth a shot if your party is on the informal side. But there will certainly be more risk with a less experienced wedding music Dj .
When you enquire and speak with wedding music Dj's, pay special attention to their professionalism over the phone. It tends to spill over into their wedding Dj style. One of the most important things to ask the wedding music Dj is, how much experience have you had with wedding receptions. If you are planning an event like a wedding, school dance, or company party, it would be normal to expect a professional DJ to have performed at least 25 of these events. A number in the hundreds is actually common for a wedding DJ who is professionally experienced and established in the wedding music industry.
Now we're not saying that Wedding Dj's with less experience won't provide a good service on your wedding day.
Ask the wedding music Dj if they are performing in a location where you might be able to see them.
The best wedding music Djs will always take certain requests from the audience and work them into their wedding day routine. BUT, don't always expect the wedding Dj to play every request. People can make requests that are simply inappropriate for the mood of the event. A good experienced wedding music Dj is not a jukebox, he or she will blend requests with songs he feels will properly motivate the wedding crowd. The real art of Djing a wedding is timing, and this takes a professional and experienced person. Trying to force a Wedding DJ to ignore their instincts by making them play each and every request will only result in an "uneven" (and less fun) wedding party. But do remember that a wedding DJ should try to play as many of their audience's requests as possible. Its always a great idea to give your wedding music Dj a list of songs you must have on played on your wedding day. Try not to make the list more that 10 - 15 songs long.
Lots of wedding music Djs will boast about their song collection and the number of songs they have. Now don't get us wrong, variety is great thing, but the reality is that a wedding music Dj will usually only play about 70 to 80 songs in a 4 - 5 hour wedding reception. 70 great songs is much more importane than having 10,000 songs your wedding party doesn't want to hear. Tell your wedding music Dj what type of weddding reception party you are having and roughly who their audience will be and then ask them to suggest a repertoire. You should feel comfortable with most of his or her selections.
Another thing lots of wedding Dj's will do is boast about having best and greatest equipment. So unless your familiar with professional audio gear, then you probably won't make any difference to you. But remember home stereo equipment is not considered appropriate. It could fail in the middle of your party! For example, typical professional wedding music DJ power amplifiers usually have 400 to 800 watts per channel but a home stereo amplifier probably only has about 100 watts per channell.
Lots of wedding music Dj companies have a few Dj's working for them. If this is the case, it's really important to get references on the particular DJ who will be assigned to your wedding day. Rember that they might have hired your chosen wedding DJ last week. Be sure of who you're getting on your wedding day.
The perfect wedding music Dj for you will be professional, affordable and experienced .
Sure there are probably a lot of wedding music DJs out there who fit that description but remember as you search for your wedding Dj , you want your event to turn out to be fun and an absolute success.
