Are you 6-9 months out from your wedding day? It’s time to book your DJ! Let’s dive in!

A great DJ or live band will create the ambiance for your ceremony and keep the dance floor packed all night long on your big day! It’s important that you and your DJ or band are on the same page as far as the kind of music you want to be played, your style, and the feel that you want the evening to have! Looking for a more relaxed reception? Want an all-night high-energy dance party? Make sure this is communicated and you feel good about who you are hiring to set the tone of your celebration!

Once you’ve narrowed down a few options, it’s time for a sit down with them to ask questions and talk about their services! Wondering where to start? Here are a few questions we think are incredibly valuable to ask at your consultation:

#1: How would you describe your style?

#2: Do you act as the emcee and make all of the announcements?

#3: What do you do to motivate the crowd if nobody is dancing?

#4: Can we submit a “Do Not Play” list?

#5: Does your rate include setup and breakdown between ceremony and reception locations?
