QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR WEDDING DJ BEFORE BOOKING1. WHAT’S YOUR WEDDING EXPERIENCE?
Not all DJs specialize in weddings. Ask how many weddings they’ve performed at and how they manage transitions like the first dance, speeches, and bouquet toss. An experienced wedding DJ knows how to read the room and keep the energy consistent.

QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR WEDDING DJ BEFORE BOOKING4. HOW DO YOU HANDLE REQUESTS?
Guests love to request songs. Ask your DJ how they filter requests to make sure they fit your vibe without derailing the party.

Life happens. Make sure your DJ has a backup system if equipment fails, or even a partner who can step in if an emergency keeps them from performing.
