The Great Gravy Boat Store

In addition to all the other thousand details that you need to keep up with in planning your wedding is insuring that you have a great DJ lined up for your reception. You may think any monkey can play music but keep in mind this will be the entertainer at your reception and also will be interacting with not just you but your guests. Here are some things to keep in mind:

* Does he have an adequate amount of equipment to insure all guests can hear him and the music. There is nothing worse than having your guests sitting in stone silence.

* Besides musical skills he needs to be able to stand up and speak clearly to your audience. Keep in mind he will periodically need to get up and make announcements. The microphone he uses is as critical as his speaking voice. How long he will be needed as well making sure you and he agree on the music to be played should be done prior to the reception. He cannot read your mind and so needs to be told precisely what time to be set up and ready to go. Be explicit and what you expect and never assume he knows your plans.

* Does he give you advice on suggestions for improving the tone and atmosphere of your reception. An experienced DJ knows what works and what doesnt at a wedding reception as many have done hundreds or thousands. He should be asking the size of the crowd, the median age of the crowd, and should also be getting a feel for the type of atmosphere that you want portrayed at your reception.

* A DJ is no exception to any other vendor in that anything pertaining to compensation should be done prior to the wedding. Full payment prior to the recpetion may only insure he never shows up.

* Ideally drop by a prior engagement and see how they handle everything. Dropping by another reception and seeing first hand how they do things will tell you how good they really are. Remember a DJ is like anyone else. They want the engagement and will tend to tell you what you want to hear. Be sure you and the DJ have a plan in place. Sit down with the DJ prior to the ceremony and you and they go over details such as what he should be doing for the first dance, garter toss, bouquet toss, cake cutting and any other important events that will be taking place during your reception.

* See what sort of music is contained in his catalogue and tell him what you think is appropriate. You need to always consider when choosing that a multitude of people from every age range will likely be at the reception. If he is experienced he will know what works.

Selecting the correct DJ is not less important than selecting a good caterer. He is critical member of your wedding "dream" team. Be certain he can deliver his part.
