A professional DJ’s impact on your wedding is subtle yet important. Hiring one will prevent you from experiencing several wedding day issues that an amateur is prone to commit. Actually, hiring a professional service is always a great choice for something that you cannot DIY! In this article, we will share four reasons to hire a professional DJ and why this should be your first option for your wedding. 1. Professional DJs are Invested in Providing the Best Possible Service The risk in hiring amateur DJs is that they’re not invested in the event itself. Because of this, you will need to think twice about hiring a free (a friend or family) or cheap DJ service, as it can impact the quality of work that they deliver to you. Professionalism indeed comes at a cost, but it doesn’t mean that you should always pay a high price to get a quality service. You should hire a professional DJ/DJ company that offers rates within your budget, together with an impressive portfolio so that you know you’re investing in the right professional DJ. 2. Professional DJs Work With the Planner/Coordinator Weddings are special events that require a DJ to have a sense of formality and seriousness while making sure that they can add fun to the venue’s ambiance. An amateur DJ who isn’t familiar with formal events can make mistakes that an expert would never commit. Professional DJs know how to choose music to fit the mood according to what’s happening during the wedding. The DJ will make sure that the wedding timeline is followed seamlessly. In the event that the wedding planner/coordinator is unavailable for some reason, a professional DJ can easily continue to coordinate things right where the coordinator left off. 3. DJs Will Communicate With Other Professionals Both the DJ and emcee (if they are separate people) of your wedding should know how to coordinate with each other, and the coordinator, in planning the wedding’s flow. It would be unfair to your DJ if you hired an amateur emcee who can’t keep up with your DJ’s requests. In the same way, it would be a mismatch to hire a professional MC who can’t communicate properly with your emcee. When it comes to planning your wedding, you deserve only the best. This is why you shouldn’t spend on an expensive host while paying for a cheap DJ. Having a healthy working environment for the two is essential in making sure that your event goes smoothly. 4. Pro DJs Know How to Read the Moods of Your Guests Your DJ must be capable of handling the different moods and events that happen during your wedding day. It takes training and experience to know when it’s time to shift the music to a more appropriate song. A professional DJ can seamlessly transition from an upbeat track to a slow song or different genre, without any issue of having dead air or awkward transitions that can ruin the wedding’s mood. If you choose a particular song list, any DJ can follow it, of course. The challenge is will your amateur DJ know what else to play besides what’s on your playlist? If your playlist isn’t working, a professional DJ can easily transition to songs that will work perfectly for you and your guests. This, alone, is one of the main reasons you should hire a professional DJ. Conclusion It’s completely fine to have to cut down on your wedding expenses. Sticking to your budget is important. You’ll just need to be smart about how you allocate your budget. Focus on what’s most important to you and your guests. At the same time, it is best to make sure that the quality of the services you pay for aren’t put at risk for a bad experience, due to your budgeting needs.
