https://sites.google.com/site/weddingdjsinchicago/  Hire​ ​a​ ​wedding​ ​dj​ ​in​ ​7​ ​easy​ ​steps As​ ​a​ ​wedding​ ​dj​ ​for​ ​over​ ​20​ ​years,​ ​I​ ​find​ ​it​ ​disturbing​ ​that​ ​there​ ​is​ ​so​ ​much​ ​misinformation​ ​on​ ​the web​ ​about​ ​hiring​ ​a​ ​disc​ ​jockey.​ ​A​ ​search​ ​for​ ​“how​ ​to​ ​hire​ ​a​ ​wedding​ ​dj”​ ​on​ ​Google​ ​brings​ ​up 2,710,000​ ​results.​ ​The​ ​problem​ ​is,​ ​most​ ​are​ ​not​ ​written​ ​to​ ​help​ ​you​ ​hire​ ​“a”​ ​disc​ ​jockey,​ ​they were​ ​written​ ​so​ ​you​ ​will​ ​hire​ ​“the”​ ​dj​ ​writing​ ​the​ ​article.​ ​If​ ​you​ ​take​ ​the​ ​time​ ​to​ ​read​ ​this​ ​post, you’ll​ ​have​ ​the​ ​tools​ ​you​ ​need​ ​to​ ​find​ ​a​ ​great​ ​wedding​ ​dj.

Most​ ​of​ ​the​ ​articles​ ​written​ ​on​ ​this​ ​subject​ ​offer​ ​questions​ ​to​ ​ask​ ​potential​ ​djs​ ​when​ ​you​ ​meet with​ ​them.​ ​I​ ​will​ ​not​ ​be​ ​providing​ ​questions​ ​but​ ​instead​ ​will​ ​provide​ ​the​ ​tools​ ​to​ ​help​ ​you​ ​find​ ​the best​ ​qualified​ ​disc​ ​jockeys​ ​to​ ​ask​ ​those​ ​questions​ ​to.​ ​While​ ​doing​ ​research​ ​for​ ​this​ ​article,​ ​I​ ​did find​ ​a​ ​list​ ​of​ ​questions​ ​that​ ​in​ ​my​ ​opinion​ ​was​ ​head​ ​and​ ​shoulders​ ​above​ ​the​ ​rest.​ ​In​ ​step​ ​7,​ ​I’ll provide​ ​a​ ​link​ ​so​ ​you​ ​can​ ​bring​ ​it​ ​to​ ​your​ ​wedding​ ​dj​ ​interview​ ​meetings. OK,​ ​now​ ​it’s​ ​time​ ​to​ ​get​ ​to​ ​the​ ​information. 1)​ ​Prepare​ ​the​ ​“Wedding​ ​DJ​ ​Master​ ​List” Our​ ​first​ ​step​ ​will​ ​be​ ​to​ ​gather​ ​a​ ​long​ ​list​ ​of​ ​prospective​ ​wedding​ ​djs.​ ​Start​ ​with​ ​“word​ ​of​ ​mouth” referrals.​ ​Ask​ ​family​ ​members,​ ​friends​ ​and​ ​co-workers.​ ​If​ ​you’ve​ ​secured​ ​your​ ​photographer​ ​or other​ ​wedding​ ​professionals​ ​ask​ ​for​ ​suggestions.​ ​Give​ ​more​ ​weight​ ​to​ ​wedding​ ​vendors​ ​that work​ ​on​ ​location​ ​at​ ​receptions​ ​and​ ​actually​ ​get​ ​to​ ​see​ ​disc​ ​jockeys​ ​in​ ​action. Next,​ ​see​ ​if​ ​your​ ​area​ ​has​ ​a​ ​wedding​ ​group​ ​or​ ​association.​ ​Boston​ ​has​ ​the​ ​Boston​ ​Wedding Group​ ​–​ ​the​ ​“who’s​ ​who”​ ​of​ ​my​ ​cities​ ​wedding​ ​professionals.​ ​This​ ​quote​ ​was​ ​taken​ ​from​ ​the group’s​ ​website​ ​“Our​ ​extensive​ ​selection​ ​process​ ​guarantees​ ​qualified,​ ​established,​ ​and​ ​ethical wedding​ ​specialists​ ​of​ ​the​ ​highest​ ​caliber.”​ ​Check​ ​the​ ​roster​ ​for​ ​disc​ ​jockeys​ ​and​ ​add​ ​them​ ​to your​ ​“wedding​ ​dj​ ​master​ ​list”. Another​ ​great​ ​resource​ ​would​ ​be​ ​to​ ​“Google”​ ​industry​ ​awards​ ​for​ ​disc​ ​jockeys.​ ​In​ ​Boston​ ​there​ ​is an​ ​A-List​ ​City​ ​Voter​ ​award​ ​for​ ​the​ ​Best​ ​Boston​ ​Wedding​ ​DJ.​ ​Biz​ ​Bash,​ ​an​ ​industry​ ​trade magazine,​ ​has​ ​a​ ​“Boston​ ​DJ​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Year​ ​Award”​ ​and​ ​Wedding​ ​Wire​ ​has​ ​it’s​ ​“Bride’s​ ​Choice Awards”.​ ​Research​ ​the​ ​winners​ ​in​ ​your​ ​area​ ​to​ ​add​ ​to​ ​your​ ​“wedding​ ​dj​ ​master​ ​list”. Lastly,​ ​I​ ​would​ ​cautiously​ ​consider​ ​recommendations​ ​from​ ​your​ ​wedding​ ​reception​ ​site.​ ​Years ago,​ ​most​ ​venues​ ​offered​ ​recommendation​ ​lists​ ​based​ ​on​ ​quality.​ ​Today​ ​a​ ​good​ ​number​ ​of those​ ​lists​ ​are​ ​“pay​ ​to​ ​play”​ ​–​ ​where​ ​quality​ ​standards​ ​are​ ​often​ ​“relaxed”​ ​in​ ​lieu​ ​of​ ​payment. These​ ​lists​ ​often​ ​come​ ​in​ ​the​ ​form​ ​of​ ​a​ ​fancy​ ​book​ ​or​ ​planner.​ ​If​ ​you​ ​receive​ ​one​ ​from​ ​your venue,​ ​know​ ​it’s​ ​an​ ​ad​ ​book​ ​and​ ​treat​ ​it​ ​as​ ​that. 2)​ ​Use​ ​review​ ​sites​ ​to​ ​narrow​ ​the​ ​wedding​ ​dj​ ​field. It’s​ ​hard​ ​to​ ​imagine​ ​we​ ​used​ ​to​ ​plan​ ​weddings​ ​before​ ​the​ ​internet.​ ​Today​ ​the​ ​web​ ​has​ ​become​ ​a priceless​ ​planning​ ​tool.​ ​In​ ​this​ ​step,​ ​we’ll​ ​use​ ​review​ ​sites​ ​to​ ​help​ ​add​ ​to​ ​your​ ​“wedding​ ​dj​ ​master list”​ ​and​ ​to​ ​pre-qualify​ ​some​ ​of​ ​your​ ​potential​ ​wedding​ ​djs. My​ ​favorite​ ​review​ ​site​ ​is​ ​Wedding​ ​Wire.​ ​It’s​ ​national,​ ​reputable,​ ​and​ ​has​ ​fantastic​ ​screening features.​ ​When​ ​you​ ​reach​ ​the​ ​home​ ​page,​ ​click​ ​through​ ​to​ ​the​ ​“Find​ ​the​ ​Perfect​ ​Vendor” section,​ ​then​ ​to​ ​dj.​ ​You’ll​ ​be​ ​presented​ ​with​ ​pages​ ​and​ ​pages​ ​of​ ​djs.​ ​One​ ​thing​ ​to​ ​be​ ​aware​ ​of​ ​is the​ ​djs​ ​listed​ ​at​ ​the​ ​top​ ​of​ ​the​ ​page,​ ​pay​ ​a​ ​lot​ ​of​ ​money​ ​to​ ​be​ ​there.​ ​In​ ​addition,​ ​all​ ​of​ ​the​ ​djs​ ​on the​ ​first​ ​page​ ​are​ ​paying​ ​advertisers.​ ​Insider’s​ ​Tip​ ​–​ ​Click​ ​the​ ​drop​ ​down​ ​labeled​ ​“show​ ​filters”.

Select​ ​“most​ ​reviews”.​ ​This​ ​will​ ​remove​ ​the​ ​preferential​ ​placement​ ​provided​ ​to​ ​paying advertisers​ ​and​ ​sorts​ ​the​ ​list​ ​based​ ​on​ ​amount​ ​of​ ​referrals.​ ​I​ ​recommend​ ​adding​ ​companies​ ​with lots​ ​of​ ​referrals​ ​and​ ​a​ ​positive​ ​rating​ ​to​ ​your​ ​“wedding​ ​dj​ ​master​ ​list”. Now,​ ​we’ll​ ​begin​ ​to​ ​pre-qualify.​ ​Start​ ​to​ ​search​ ​out​ ​the​ ​wedding​ ​djs​ ​on​ ​your​ ​master​ ​list​ ​with​ ​the search​ ​tool.​ ​Most​ ​of​ ​the​ ​djs​ ​that​ ​made​ ​your​ ​list​ ​should​ ​also​ ​be​ ​this​ ​review​ ​site.​ ​In​ ​the​ ​wedding world,​ ​this​ ​is​ ​the​ ​site​ ​to​ ​be​ ​on. Spend​ ​some​ ​time​ ​reading​ ​reviews.​ ​If​ ​a​ ​disc​ ​jockey​ ​is​ ​giving​ ​a​ ​client​ ​the​ ​proper​ ​time,​ ​attention and​ ​service​ ​it​ ​will​ ​surface​ ​in​ ​the​ ​reviews.​ ​Insider’s​ ​Tip​ ​–​ ​Look​ ​for​ ​the​ ​drop​ ​down​ ​labeled​ ​“sort​ ​by” on​ ​every​ ​review​ ​page.​ ​Click​ ​“Rating:​ ​Lowest”.​ ​This​ ​will​ ​bring​ ​the​ ​negative​ ​reviews,​ ​normally hidden​ ​after​ ​all​ ​the​ ​positive​ ​reviews​ ​to​ ​the​ ​front.​ ​Hopefully,​ ​your​ ​potential​ ​wedding​ ​djs​ ​don’t​ ​have anything​ ​to​ ​worry​ ​about.​ ​Wedding​ ​Wire​ ​does​ ​give​ ​event​ ​professionals​ ​a​ ​chance​ ​to​ ​respond​ ​to reviews​ ​so​ ​at​ ​least​ ​you’ll​ ​hear​ ​both​ ​sides​ ​of​ ​the​ ​story. 3)​ ​Every​ ​wedding​ ​dj​ ​worth​ ​considering​ ​should​ ​have​ ​a​ ​website. In​ ​my​ ​opinion,​ ​every​ ​professional​ ​wedding​ ​dj​ ​worth​ ​considering​ ​should​ ​have​ ​a​ ​website.​ ​On​ ​the website​ ​look​ ​for​ ​two​ ​things,​ ​a​ ​clear​ ​explanation​ ​of​ ​the​ ​dj’s​ ​style,​ ​and​ ​pricing.​ ​For​ ​a​ ​wedding​ ​dj​ ​to make​ ​your​ ​short​ ​list​ ​he​ ​should​ ​be​ ​compatible,​ ​at​ ​least​ ​in​ ​writing,​ ​and​ ​within​ ​your​ ​price​ ​range. Insider’s​ ​Tip​ ​–​ ​for​ ​the​ ​djs​ ​that​ ​don’t​ ​post​ ​pricing,​ ​expect​ ​a​ ​higher​ ​price​ ​tag​ ​and​ ​a​ ​meeting​ ​with​ ​a “salesman/disc​ ​jockey”.​ ​Be​ ​ready​ ​for​ ​it!! Most​ ​djs​ ​today​ ​have​ ​an​ ​availability​ ​checker​ ​on​ ​their​ ​website.​ ​Use​ ​it​ ​or​ ​the​ ​telephone​ ​to​ ​check availability.​ ​At​ ​this​ ​point,​ ​look​ ​more​ ​for​ ​response​ ​time​ ​over​ ​availability.​ ​If​ ​the​ ​disc​ ​jockey​ ​happens to​ ​be​ ​scheduled​ ​already​ ​or​ ​if​ ​you​ ​don’t​ ​get​ ​a​ ​prompt​ ​response,​ ​you​ ​can​ ​eliminate​ ​him​ ​from​ ​your “wedding​ ​dj​ ​master​ ​list”. 4)​ ​Search​ ​the​ ​raves​ ​&​ ​rants​ ​for​ ​djs​ ​on​ ​the​ ​wedding​ ​chat​ ​boards. I’m​ ​not​ ​suggesting​ ​your​ ​potential​ ​wedding​ ​dj​ ​has​ ​anything​ ​to​ ​hide.​ ​But​ ​if​ ​he​ ​does​ ​chances​ ​are there​ ​is​ ​a​ ​permanent​ ​record​ ​in​ ​cyberspace.​ ​Surf​ ​to​ ​the​ ​wedding​ ​message​ ​boards​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Knot,​ ​or if​ ​you’re​ ​local​ ​Boston.com.​ ​Most​ ​people​ ​don’t​ ​use​ ​the​ ​features​ ​but​ ​these​ ​sites​ ​are​ ​searchable. Both​ ​archive​ ​all​ ​sorts​ ​of​ ​fantastic​ ​wedding​ ​tips​ ​and​ ​ideas​ ​as​ ​well​ ​as​ ​raves​ ​and​ ​rants​ ​for​ ​local vendors. These​ ​sites​ ​are​ ​supposed​ ​to​ ​be​ ​vendor​ ​free​ ​so​ ​unlike​ ​the​ ​review​ ​sites​ ​you​ ​usually​ ​only​ ​hear​ ​one side​ ​of​ ​the​ ​story.​ ​I​ ​don’t​ ​need​ ​to​ ​caution​ ​you​ ​about​ ​using​ ​due​ ​diligence​ ​using​ ​information​ ​learned this​ ​way.​ ​I’ve​ ​heard​ ​stories​ ​of​ ​reputable​ ​wedding​ ​vendors​ ​unfairly​ ​maligned​ ​by​ ​customers​ ​and competitors​ ​with​ ​an​ ​axe​ ​to​ ​grind. You​ ​can​ ​also​ ​get​ ​some​ ​of​ ​the​ ​same​ ​information​ ​with​ ​Google.​ ​For​ ​instance,​ ​I​ ​used​ ​these​ ​search terms​ ​–​ ​“greg​ ​hodges​ ​dj​ ​the​ ​knot”.​ ​I​ ​got​ ​results​ ​directly​ ​from​ ​the​ ​Knot​ ​Chat​ ​Boards.

Use​ ​what​ ​you​ ​find​ ​to​ ​further​ ​shorten​ ​your​ ​“wedding​ ​dj​ ​master​ ​list”. 5)​ ​Which​ ​dj​ ​on​ ​your​ ​“wedding​ ​dj​ ​master​ ​list”​ ​cares​ ​the​ ​most? OK,​ ​I​ ​admit​ ​this​ ​step​ ​is​ ​a​ ​little​ ​unorthodox,​ ​and​ ​chances​ ​are,​ ​you​ ​won’t​ ​find​ ​it​ ​anywhere​ ​else.​ ​It’s a​ ​great​ ​tool​ ​nonetheless​ ​and​ ​using​ ​it​ ​will​ ​help​ ​you​ ​fine​ ​tune​ ​your​ ​“wedding​ ​dj​ ​master​ ​list”. Both​ ​speakers​ ​and​ ​cordless​ ​microphones​ ​are​ ​very​ ​important​ ​tools​ ​to​ ​the​ ​wedding​ ​dj.​ ​Get​ ​the make​ ​and​ ​model​ ​numbers​ ​used​ ​by​ ​each​ ​of​ ​your​ ​potential​ ​djs.​ ​I​ ​know​ ​you​ ​probably​ ​don’t​ ​know the​ ​difference​ ​between​ ​a​ ​Mackie​ ​SRM450​ ​and​ ​an​ ​RCF​ ​TT22A.​ ​That’s​ ​not​ ​important​ ​for​ ​this. You​ ​can​ ​do​ ​a​ ​Google​ ​search​ ​though.​ ​Take​ ​your​ ​model​ ​numbers​ ​and​ ​do​ ​a​ ​pricing​ ​search.​ ​You’ll likely​ ​find​ ​some​ ​of​ ​your​ ​potential​ ​djs​ ​care​ ​more​ ​about​ ​the​ ​way​ ​their​ ​music​ ​sounds​ ​and​ ​have spent​ ​more​ ​money​ ​perfecting​ ​that​ ​sound.​ ​I​ ​think​ ​you’ll​ ​find​ ​these​ ​same​ ​djs​ ​care​ ​more​ ​about​ ​how they​ ​run​ ​their​ ​business​ ​and​ ​treat​ ​clients. 6)​ ​Ask​ ​the​ ​wedding​ ​professionals​ ​you’ve​ ​already​ ​hired​ ​to​ ​review​ ​your​ ​“wedding​ ​dj​ ​master​ ​list”. The​ ​next​ ​to​ ​last​ ​step​ ​involves​ ​getting​ ​the​ ​opinions​ ​from​ ​the​ ​wedding​ ​professionals​ ​you’ve already​ ​hired​ ​and​ ​trust.​ ​Chances​ ​are​ ​they​ ​know​ ​the​ ​djs​ ​on​ ​your​ ​master​ ​list​ ​and​ ​probably​ ​work with​ ​them​ ​and​ ​other​ ​wedding​ ​djs​ ​on​ ​a​ ​regular​ ​basis.​ ​They’ll​ ​be​ ​able​ ​to​ ​tell​ ​you​ ​better​ ​than anyone​ ​else,​ ​which​ ​of​ ​the​ ​djs​ ​you​ ​are​ ​considering​ ​would​ ​be​ ​a​ ​good​ ​fit​ ​for​ ​you​ ​at​ ​your​ ​wedding. 7)​ ​Schedule​ ​interview​ ​meetings​ ​with​ ​each​ ​of​ ​the​ ​djs​ ​left​ ​on​ ​your​ ​“wedding​ ​dj​ ​master​ ​list”. Your​ ​“wedding​ ​dj​ ​master​ ​list”​ ​should​ ​now​ ​be​ ​your​ ​“wedding​ ​dj​ ​short​ ​list”.​ ​It​ ​should​ ​be​ ​an​ ​a-list collection​ ​of​ ​the​ ​best​ ​wedding​ ​djs​ ​for​ ​you​ ​in​ ​your​ ​area.​ ​The​ ​last​ ​and​ ​final​ ​step​ ​is​ ​to​ ​schedule appointments​ ​to​ ​meet​ ​each​ ​disc​ ​jockey​ ​in​ ​person.​ ​I​ ​can’t​ ​stress​ ​how​ ​important​ ​a​ ​face​ ​to​ ​face meeting​ ​is. Come​ ​prepared​ ​with​ ​your​ ​list​ ​of​ ​questions.​ ​Of​ ​course​ ​the​ ​djs​ ​answers​ ​will​ ​be​ ​important​ ​but​ ​more important​ ​than​ ​that​ ​will​ ​be​ ​the​ ​feeling​ ​you​ ​have​ ​in​ ​your​ ​gut.​ ​Listen​ ​to​ ​it​ ​and​ ​you’ll​ ​make​ ​the​ ​right decision. Pat​ ​yourself​ ​on​ ​the​ ​back,​ ​you’re​ ​done.​ ​Hopefully​ ​you’ve​ ​find​ ​the​ ​perfect​ ​wedding​ ​dj.
