Entertainment: The “DJ” can make or break your reception

Is this true or what?! How many weddings have you been to where the music selection is horrible, sound quality poor, and the DJ completely silent, or worse yet…cheesy!
Here are a few ways to ensure that you get quality entertainment on your 1 and only day.
1. Meet with 3 companies minimum. Ask about their philosophy & success
2. Make sure that you’re meeting with the person(s) actually performing at your wedding. The goal is to get a good feel for who will be on the microphone leading your reception.
3. Make sure they will meet with you before the wedding to go over the music, Fun, interactive goals, and the timeline
4. Prioritize goals and budget for your wedding day! If fun, entertainment, interaction, & music are important to you, you need to spend a bit more on this part.
You may even consider hiring a DJ/MC team to maximize your chances of a memorable reception. The good ol’ adage “You get what you pay for” is SOOO true when it comes to this! There are tons of areas to cut back, so you can make sure that the party is a hit. Kristal Johnson (wedding planning specialist blogger) will post a blog soon about “Simple budget cutbacks without changing your wedding day”.
Good luck and go find someone that will help you make your day fun & memorable….Don’t settle!
