Is a Good Wedding DJ Important?
When you’re planning your wedding, what are the first things you think about doing? Look for a dress? Find a venue? Start a guest list? Not many people are thinking about hiring a DJ. You definitely need a venue and date, before you can book any other vendor, but DJ should be something that you’re thinking about in the beginning of your planning process.
What Does a Wedding DJ Do?
Have you ever been to a wedding with a mediocre or bad DJ? It’s boring at best. It’s difficult to hear during the toasts, the energy is flat, and no one dances. And that’s mediocre! A bad DJ gets the names wrong, messes up the timeline, doesn’t get along with the other vendors, and upsets the bride.
The DJ is one of the few vendors who are working alongside you the whole day. He or she carries the weight of your wedding day on his shoulders. The DJ creates the atmosphere and mood for your reception. He/she keeps the flow of the evening going with engaging announcements, smooth transitions, and the right song at the right time. Not even the intervention of the wedding planner can make up for a bad DJ. The coordinator can’t fix his energy, personality, or ability to choose the best songs for your guests.
What Makes the Best Wedding DJs?
This is why a good DJ is so important. You need someone who can do more than play music. You need someone who is trained to MC a wedding, who can read your guests and play the music that gets them inspired to dance. You need a DJ who will meet with you multiple times to get to know you and your desired vibe for your wedding. You need a DJ who understands the flow of a wedding and values the significant role he/she plays in your special day. You need a DJ who is part of a good team that's committed to creating amazing wedding days. This is what Turn Up Columbus is all about.
