• Pittsburgh DJ at the Airport MarriottThis is an interesting article from Huff Post Weddings about getting the most out of your Pittsburgh wedding DJ. The author lists five tips and then goes into a little more detail about each tip.

    One thing that I completely agree with is,

    I’m here to tell you that not all DJs are created equal, and the good ones are worth their weight in gold.

    I agree with this statement not just because I’m a Pittsburgh wedding DJ. I’m agreeing because in my experience, most couples do not have a wedding planner. Before the wedding they need help with the timing and music at their reception. On the day of the reception, a couple needs someone to coordinate the plans and the music. This will help the event flow effortlessly.

    The author does a pretty good job of giving her readers the basics for working with a DJ. The main point being, that you are the client and you are in charge! Yet, I feel that the tone of her article seems to be rather adversarial.

    In my experience, I find that many couples need advice on music selection and structuring an event timeline. A good DJ can help relieve couples’ anxieties about both of these issues. Don’t form an adversarial relationship with your DJ. Look to your DJ for guidance in helping you plan the events and music at your reception.

    Much of the anxiety the author seems to have about “managing” a DJ could be avoided by properly screening potential DJs. Here are two easy steps to screen potential DJs.

    The first step is to check for on line reviews of all the DJs you may be interested in working with. Wedding Wire is a great tool for verified on line reviews.

    Once you’ve narrowed down your list of candidates you can then proceed to step two, a personal consultation.

    Setting up either an in-person meeting or a phone conversation with YOUR PROSPECTIVE DJ will go a long way to helping you make an good entertainment choice. The personal contact is very important because even the most highly rated DJ may not be the best choice for you. You need to be comfortable with all of your wedding vendors. A personal conversation with each perspective DJ is the best way to find out if that particular DJ is the right fit for your reception.

    I hope the article and my thoughts help you in your search for a wedding DJ. So what specific concerns or questions do you have about DJ service? I’d love to hear from you.
