San Francisco Wedding DJ's

It is absolutely critical to deliberate on every aspect in the planning of your wedding. One aspect you really need to take careful consideration in is booking the entertainment for the evening. If you do not allow yourself enough time in this regard, you may have to settle for a lesser option. Most couples choose between a disc-jockey and a live band to provide the entertainment in the form of music. There are perks that both have, and some perks address the other option's weaknesses. Live bands are great for producing a certain type of atmosphere and ambiance that may not be easily replicable for a disc-jockey, but this will cost you considerably more than any good professional disc-jockey will. Disc-jockeys offer near limitless digital music archives, so you will not have to worry about restrictions in that regard, and it won't cost you extra if you request an obscure song, because the DJ can just look the song up on the world wide internet while a live band may charge you depending on how many obscure songs you request.. If you are on a budget, and have chosen you would rather have a DJ, don't fret, because San Francisco offers a plethora of professional wedding DJ's. Follow these steps, and you will have no problem finding the right one.

You should start your search off with the recommendations of your friends, family, and colleagues, particularly those people who have been recently married or involved in a wedding to some degree. It's also worth asking a venue coordinator for their recommendations, as well, because they may inform you that they have a required vendors list that you must pull your vendors from. Ideally, you would like your disc-jockey to be familiar with the location. You should cross reference these recommendations via online wedding websites, and add any candidates that strike a chord with you. Be sure to read through reviews and bridal testimonials as well as general information, and scour through videos and pictures of their performances and set up. This candidate should come with plenty of experience, and ideally, should specialize in weddings, but it is up to you what sort of atmosphere you wish to produce for your wedding.

Now that you have about five candidates in mind, start scheduling interviews with them. You should only schedule appointments with the ones that are available on the date of your wedding. Some production companies may come highly acredited and reviews, so if one particular DJ is not available, it is not the end of the world because they should have another candidate available for you. During your interview you should ask the candidate what gave them the impulse to become a DJ. They should be passionate about music, and even more passionate about providing you with the exact wishes you have envisioned for your wedding. What are some of the DJ's favorite songs? If some of the songs they list are songs you do not particularly care for, then ask them if they will not play it during your wedding. If they are a professional, they will go above and beyond to meet your demands. Ask the DJ if they will handle the emcee duties for the reception, and if they will, ask them what their microphone style is. You should ask for a demonstration video of one of their past performances, and see how they operate. If they refuse to provide a demonstration, something is obviously amiss, so you will not want to go further with this candidate. You should also get a picture of their setup, and stress that you do not want any self promotion during your wedding. Inquire into the candidate's equipment, and their level of knowledge with it.

Before you choose a candidate, you should cover the cost, and compare them between each DJ. Some offer different packages, and some have different demands that are easier to meet. It all depends on what you can swing, and what is right for you. Once you have made your choice, get a contract, and have both parties sign. Keep in touch with the DJ over the course of the planning process so they do not forget your specific personality quirks. Now that you have the entertainment booked, you can look forward to showing your family and guests your sweet dance moves with your beau on the biggest night of your life!
