Are you looking into booking a DJ for an upcoming wedding? A lot of people overlook this major detail, but it can cost you big time! As the good people at bookmorebrides.com say, “If you think it’s more expensive to hire a professional DJ, wait until you hire an amateur.”

For starters, the DJ can totally control the mood of your reception. A professional DJ knows how to read a crowd and play an appropriate set. Being able to play the right songs, at the right time, in the right order is an acquired skill. If they can’t properly mix, your guests will be left feeling awkward and will be less likely to dance. A pro knows exactly how to keep the bride and groom’s interests a priority while considering the mood of those on the dancefloor.

This may not seem like an initial problem, but be weary as it’s more common than you think: an amateur DJ might also only be in it as a hobby, whereas a pro has made a career out of it, and is way less likely to bail out on you. These guys are simply more interested because they’ve combined the funness of the activity with the professionalism of the job. Bookmorebrides.com reports of many  bridal horror stories with a last minute DJ cancellation.

Weddings are unique and important events, that require an experienced DJ on the job. Amateur DJs who charge less also invest less into their equipment, which doesn’t make for the best sound quality. This day only happens once- make the most of it!
