The Difference a Good Wedding DJ Can Make

We are always seeing new and different things at weddings. Last week at Nicole and Zach’s wedding they had “Too Much Fun DJ” at their reception. Neil and Beth at www.toomuchfundj.com bring light plywood guitar cut outs and stage a “guitar hero” competition. TOO MUCH FUN!

While many people think of the DJ as someone who just plays the music, the DJ actually has a very important role in setting both the pace and tone of the reception. In addition to playing music that gets people out of their seats and on the dance floor, the DJ is also responsible for making sure all activities fit within the time allotted for the reception. Having a DJ that can connect well with the crowd and keep the celebration moving along smoothly can make the difference between a wedding reception, where everyone is involved and enjoying themselves, and a reception where everyone is sitting in their seats.

Hiring a quality DJ for your wedding is definitely important, so take the time to do your research. You can often learn a lot about a DJ by reading reviews. Consider asking your friends and recently married couples for recommendations too. Don’t just let price dictate your decision. Just because one DJ may charge more doesn’t necessarily mean they’re better. Choose a DJ you really like. Even if they’re a little more expensive, it’s worth a few extra dollars to have a DJ who you are confident will make your special day that much more memorable.
