What Should You Look For in a Wedding DJ?

There are so many decisions to make when booking vendors for your Buffalo, NY wedding; choosing your venue and flowers are only the beginning. However, when you need to choose a DJ for your wedding reception, you need look no farther than Direct Entertainment, the Buffalo, NY hub for DJ's.

Personality

A great DJ is going to have a personality that keeps your wedding crowd bouncing and gets them out on the dance floor quickly. They can give great, amusing announcements that keep events flowing throughout the evening, including the first dance as bride and groom. While they will also respond to your requests for particular songs, a DJ with a great personality will also have suggestions for you once they get to know you as a couple.

Compatibility

A great DJ for your Buffalo, NY wedding will get to know you well enough to predict the kinds of music you'll want to hear. One size does not fit all, so your DJ will work with you to make sure you hear the hits you love. They'll know, from hearing some of your favorite tunes, what kinds of music you are likely to enjoy throughout the evening. If your favorite songs aren't particularly danceable, the compatible DJ will have options for you to add more dance-ready tunes in between the songs that melt your heart.

Professionalism

Excellent wedding DJs know when to communicate, when to let you know about their needs, and when to reach out to you about your needs. They may be an entertainer when they are spinning tracks, but at their core, they'll make you feel respected and understood by being very clear throughout the planning process. Communication isn't the only aspect of professionalism either: being well-dressed for the occasion, having a smooth and easy demeanor on the microphone, and conducting set-up and tear-down quickly and easily all help convey an attitude of professionalism.

Experience

It takes time to become an amazing DJ, and DJs with many weddings under their belts are more likely to be able to predict what song will flow perfectly from the current mood of the crowd. Having worked at many weddings is the best way to gather this ability. An experienced DJ will know how to handle any hiccups that come his or her way: after all, there are always going to be moments when the dancing stops or a guest has something to say, but the right wedding DJ in Buffalo, NY will have seen it all and know exactly how to fast-track everyone to fun, no matter the circumstances.

In addition to the reception and food, entertainment is one of the most important aspects of a wedding that a couple will hold dear for years to come; a poor choice of music will always haunt the participants whereas a sweet and well thought out rapture of melodies will be fondly remembered by all the gathered guests. The memories of the wedding day are held dear by all loved ones, mostly so by the wedding couple. A wedding DJ, whether they are a Buffalo wedding DJ, or a DJ from any other city, thus becomes a key player in your wedding ceremony. Buffalo being the second most populous city in New York with a population of nearly 262,000, offers numerous opportunities for fun lovers or party seekers to taste the exciting side of New York. When choosing a DJ for your wedding, there are certain factors that one need to consider.

The Music at Your Wedding

All weddings call for a different genres of music; different couples will request different styles of music to be played during their reception. It is important to inquire from the list of DJs, if they can be able to play the required type of music. This is very important keeping in mind that also not all Buffalo DJs can play the required type or genre of music. It is highly advisable that one gets a sample of the DJs work for the occasion sought to ascertain the level of expertise the DJ has in the chosen genre of music, get the number of songs the DJ has and in the case of a wedding ensure that the particular songs to be played are audible; it is also important to agree on the exact timing of certain songs that may be of interest at specific moments during the wedding. These issues are very critical and do require full agreement amongst the players.

The Quality of DJ Equipment

It is very important to confirm what types of equipment the shortlisted DJs have in their possession and their ability to employ them during the event proper. The equipment should be commensurate with the event, it will be quite embarrassing to have shoddy equipment playing during the event or even worse to have very loud musical instruments playing on the material day. Music that is too loud will take away all the tranquility that is associated with weddings and render a teenage get together feel to it. On the other hand if the event is for teenagers then giving them slow, low volume music will not augur well with them.

The Price for a Perfect Wedding DJ

It is important to keep in mind that after any event, whether it is a wedding or prom party, there is still life thereafter and all accrued debts will have to be offset. It is thus advisable that concerned parties do some research within the larger New York in general and Buffalo in particular and find out how much it costs to hire a DJ in Buffalo. One should strive to get the best price, there are also value adds that the wedding DJ may offer the couple like extra play hours, additional MC or specialized recordings of the music played. As much as cost is a significant factor though, it is important to ensure that one does not demand very low prices from Buffalo DJs NY; this is because if the cost is too cheap it means that quality will also be compromised. Get a price that is fair, not quality that is fair.
