Here are some things to think about when planning

Start the selection process early. You must get your date at your hall first. Most entertainers will not book you if you do not have your venue booked first. The best DJ's and halls are booked well in advance. The busy wedding months in many metro areas are March through June and September through December. Also keep in mind that Saturday nights are more in demand than other times.

Choosing the right music is very important. Music sets the tone for your whole event, from the first song to the last. While the process of selecting the correct music for any affair can be very intimidating, it is important to hire an experienced professional that can judge for themselves what an affair needs, but will also work with your selections in the process to make it a success.

Look for a DJ that can play styles to suit all your guests. Your event should reflect your tastes, but you want everyone to have a great time. Look over your guest list and think about what they might like to dance and listen to. Of course, your friends are very important, but you should consider your relatives and your parent’s friends as well. Be sure to choose DJ's who can provide the variety of music you want. A great DJ will make each one of your guests feel that at some point in the evening the DJ was playing just for them.

Look for DJ's who can serve as a resource about every aspect of the entertainment for your special day. Talk with the DJ about repertoire, volume levels and audience participation. Ask lots of questions and be specific about your expectations. Don't hesitate to ask for suggestions. Your DJ should listen carefully to your ideas and concerns. It is their attention to detail that will ensure that your event will be everything that you dreamed it would be.
