π΅ 5 Questions Every Couple Should Ask Their DJ Before Booking
Your DJ sets the tone for your entire celebration. The right one reads the room, keeps the energy flowing, and makes every moment feel intentional. The wrong one can leave your guests standing awkwardly on an empty dance floor.
Before you sign anything, make sure you ask these five questions:
1. Have you performed at our venue before?
Every venue has different acoustics, layouts, and sound restrictions. A DJ who knows your space walks in prepared. One who does not may spend your cocktail hour figuring it out.
2. How do you handle song requests β from us and from guests?
You want a DJ who honors your vision first. Ask how they balance your must-plays, your do-not-plays, and guest requests without losing the flow of the night.
3. What happens if something goes wrong with your equipment?
Professional DJs come with backup equipment. If they hesitate on this answer, keep looking.
4. Will you be our DJ or will you send someone else?
Some DJ companies book the gig and send a different person to your event. Always confirm who will actually be behind the decks on your day.
5. How do you read a crowd and adjust on the fly?
This is where the real skill lives. A great DJ does not just play a playlist. They feel the room and respond to it in real time.
