Finding the Perfect Wedding DJ in Toronto

 

The most memorable weddings have one thing in common, dancing! Music plays a big part of how a wedding comes together. Be it the bride and groom’s first slow dance together, the couple waltzing with their moms and dads or  guests of all ages dancing in a jumble of fun and happiness Planning the music also involves deciding who is going to serve it up. Don’t rely on just anyone to be responsible on your special day, hire an experienced professional. Here’s a guide to finding the perfect wedding DJ in Toronto.

 

What to Consider

 

When planning music, lighting and sound for a wedding, there are some questions you should be prepared to ask. The Canadian Professional Disk Jockey Association suggests the following:

  • Is the DJ supplying the sound and lighting system or relying on the venue?
  • Will the venue be charging for use of their sound system whether you use it or not?
  • Can the DJ supply the music for all aspects of the wedding, including cocktails, dinner, speeches and dancing?
  • Can the volume of the music be concentrated on the dance floor, enabling people to hold conversations at the surrounding tables?
  • If the venue is holding multiple functions, does the sound from other events filter through?
  • Can you watch a potential DJ at a live event before deciding if they are the right personality?
  • What backup plan does the DJ have in case of system failure?

 

Once You’ve Found Your DJ

 

Start by booking a consultation with the DJ. Let him or her know what you expect. Are the wedding guests going to be all ages?  Will they come from different cultural backgrounds?  A good DJ will get everyone involved. While having a list of favourite genres and tunes can be helpful, trust a DJ that has played hundreds of weddings to know what works. They should also be able to read a crowd, respond to requests and allow for a "do-not-play-list.” Nobody wants the bride in tears because the DJ played the wrong song!
