Selecting a disc Jockey:

Weddings are one of the most demanding events a disc jockey can work. The broad variety of ages and musical tastes, not to mention the time and money put into the reception, adds to the expectations placed on a wedding DJ. The following should help organize your thoughts and give you some guidelines when looking for the person who is going to be in charge of making your reception something to remember.

How to Find A Truly Professional Company:

If the company has been around for a while and is complying with normal business practices, the odds are in your favor that they will do a fine job if simply to protect their good reputation. Check to see if the company carries liability insurance: Many halls require this. Also ask for a few names of banquet halls, photographers, or caterers, that would give you a good referral of the company. Request a brochure on their services. The quality of the literature should give you some insights on the professional nature of the company.

Pricing:

The rates for a professional disc jockey usually fall between a low of $400 and a height of $750 for a four hour affair, with most companies somewhere in the middle. Questions a company that is very low in cost, odds are you will be putting the success of your receptions at risk in order to save a hundred bucks. If the company you are looking at is in the high end, ask them to justify their cost. You might find you are compensating the DJ for his large sound system or lighting system that you have no desire to use, or you might find their added services to be well worth the extra cost. Finally, keep in mind all the time and money you already have committed to your reception and the impact a DJ has on how everything turns out. Paying a little more for a much better disc jockey is often a great investment.

Music Selection:

Request a list of music the disc jockey will be choosing from that day. Be sure they have a good selection of the types of music you prefer. [Example; if you are big into country, mowtown, oldies, etc., their list should reflect this.] Many of the better companies will give you a listing of a few hundred of the most popular selections for you to highlight. Question a company that can not supply you with a music list.

Choose the Disc Jockey Whose Style You Feel Most Comfortable With:

Once you feel you found an established disc jockey, in your price range, with the music selection you like, make your final selection based on personality. Some disc jockeys like to steal the show. These DJs are always on the microphone and like to to be very visible. The other end of the spectrum is the DJ with a lack of any personality who does nothing except play the music. While other companies are even mixture of the two. Usually you are can get a feel for a style simply by talking to the disc jockey over the phone.

What to Avoid

The Salesman

This one is all to easy to detect.  While there are some great companies in Southwest Florida, there are also many that simply want to profit off of all the big bucks related to a wedding. To these companies providing a great service takes a distant back seat to getting your money.

 

The Sub-Contractor

Usually this person is also the salesman. Any service-oriented disc jockey company will look down on this practice. In essence, the company you book with will take your money and then resell your contract to another (often less experienced) disc jockey for a hefty profit.

 

The Ego

If you don't like the disc jockey's attitude on the phone, (when he is putting his best face forward) you can be sure he will be even worse at your reception. Absolutely avoid any company that tells you they are the best. That's for you to decide.

Your Disc Jockey as a Host

I'm sure everyone has gone to at least one wedding reception that seemed to just drag on. The reason for this is usually that at most weddings there is no designated "host". The Bride and Groom are in such demand there is no way they can attend to all the details, and the bridal party and close family are so elated they often neglect many of the guests. Because of this, the timing of events such as the toast, special dances and the like doesn't quite work out. This does not have to happen.

Our partners assume the personality of what you might see in a Maitre 'de at an upscale restaurant. Your disc jockey is the perfect "host". A tuxedo clad disc jockey will work with your photographer and other professionals you have hired to be sure that all the events take place at the perfect time. There are so many little things we do from guiding your guests to the gift table on to join in a special last dance. Every reception is unique and your disc jockey will adapt his personality and style to that of your guests.

At some receptions you will find the DJ getting everyone involved in a conga linc, chicken dance, or something just as crazy. Other weddings may require the DJ to be calm and classy, playing mostly romantic selections and being very limited on the microphone. Many receptions are an even mix of both. However you would like your reception to flow, make sure you communicate this to the Disc Jockey and prepare to have a good time!

The DJ staff at Music Force DJ's will pre-plan all of your reception activities and events prior to the reception utilizing our wedding worksheet. This allows us to organize and personalize your reception in advance, and prevents the headaches of having to make last minute decisions at the reception. In addition, by planning all aspects of your reception well in advance, your DJ will be able to perform his duties in a smooth and professional manner and you will be able to enjoy your reception without worrying about the details.

Since Music Force DJ's specializes in wedding receptions, you can be assured that your disc-jockey will have the knowledge and experience to make your reception a perfect success. It is imperative for anyone planning a wedding to select a disc-jockey who has a wealth of experience and training to professionally emcee at a wedding reception. Each of our DJ's has been specially trained to handle all of the details of a wedding reception. In most cases, our disc-jockey acts as a master of ceremonies throughout your reception. There are many events which you may want to include in your reception. the most popular events are the introduction of the bridal party, the toast, cake cutting, bride and groom first dance, parents dances and the garter and bouquet toss.

As you plan your wedding, realize all of the time, effort and money you are putting into it. Entertainment is the most important element to any party and should not be left to chance.
