What Couples Should Consider As They Hire A Long Island Wedding DJ

By Ines Flores


A wedding is a very important event and most people spend more money on their weddings than they would spend on any other event. In order to make this special event more entertaining and memorable, you can hire a Long Island wedding DJ to provide entertainment at your reception. Professional disc jockeys offer many services that can help ensure that your guests have a great time.

The majority of DJs carry their own audio systems and lighting equipment to the event they are performing at. They may use the equipment to recreate the atmosphere of a nightclub. If couples hire a disc jockey, they can rest assured that all the entertainment equipment they need will be present.

In general, it is more cost effective to hire a wedding DJ than it is to hire a live band. Since you will be hiring the DJ, and probably one assistant, you do not have to choose a large venue to accommodate them. Some people argue that bands provide guests with a more fun atmosphere. However, DJs make up for what they lack in variety. Their large playlist of carefully selected songs is adequate to keep guests entertained. DJs also play special songs on request.

DJs can also act as masters of ceremonies. Therefore, you do not have to worry about who will be the master of ceremonies in your event if you do not have anyone in mind. A DJ can also easily handle technical issues involving sound equipment. He or she can balance the sound, place speakers at the right places and adjust the volume if necessary. An enthusiastic disc jockey can also draw out shy guests to the dance floor.

Before they hire a disc jockey, the residents of Long Island, NY should consider whether the professional is experienced. They should also consider if the DJ is skilled in organizing wedding receptions. Couples should choose a professional who has performed in many receptions. To find out if a disc jockey is experienced, couples can ask him or her to provide them with references.

You should then check the references carefully before you hire the DJ. Ask each person who is listed as a reference for his or her overall opinion of the professional. Find out if the DJ was available during the planning stage of their wedding, whether the professional arrived on time and if he or she remembered to include special dances or requests when performing at their occasion.

Long Island residents should also consider the cost of hiring a disc jockey. They should find out if they will pay for overtime hours and if the professional expects a tip. The other thing to consider is the terms of payment. Most disc jockeys require their clients to pay a deposit and then pay the remaining balance at an agreed on date. Clearing the balance only after the wedding is over is a wise decision.

The other important thing to consider when hiring a disc jockey is if he or she will provide you with a written contract. This contract should contain details about the dates when the professional will work, the fees, refund policy. It should also state that he or she will attend the event in person. The contract should also state who will take the place of the disc jockey if he or she is unable to attend the event due to an illness or other emergency.
