DJ Qualities
flexibility
It’s important for your DJ to understand that the day is not about them, it is about the couple and their guests and what they may be going through and execute accordingly. A flexible DJ will listen to and play guest requests, and adapt to a changing landscape on the dance floor.
WEDDING-RELATED DJ EXPERIENCE
Wedding-specific DJ experience is just so crucial. DJing at a wedding is like no other type of event. The ability to bring guests on a journey through the decades takes a lot of experience. Especially the time of the night the DJ needs to transition into the later night crowd and cater to them accordingly. Also, there are so many little intricacies at wedding receptions that nobody sees. The DJ is in charge of so much more than simply playing some music. Understanding that level of experience that will be added to your day will bring the reception to the next level.
ATTENTION TO DETAIL
A Wedding DJ could in theory arrive at a reception, play a great mix of music and everyone could have a wonderful night. However, there are so many details at weddings that need to be planned out in advance of wedding day. A DJ needs not only to be on top of those details in advance of the wedding day, but also needs to deliver those details in a precise fashion which leads itself to professionalism. The level of detail creates magical moments at your wedding reception.
FUN LEVEL - 100 PERCENT!
A professional wedding DJ won’t be present on your day just to go through the motions. A great wedding DJ will not only be honoured to be present on your day but they will treat it like a night out for themselves (without the drinking part ;)). A DJ that leads by having fun will absolutely be contagious to you and your guests. We are hired for our entertainment value, and we feel a DJ would want to embrace that. DJ dancing is encouraged.
TRANSPARENCY
Transparency is important in that part of what a DJ is doing at the reception venue is connecting with other wedding professionals and guests. The DJ is often in the know as to how the night is playing out from a timeline perspective, and we’re often being counted on a liaison as such. Being transparent not only shows that it’s a collaborative experience, but it keeps everyone updated and on the same page.
