Close-Cut Productions - How To Hire A DJ

One of the most important decisions you can make to guarantee the success of your wedding or event is selecting the right DJ. It could easily make the difference between a memorable event and an unforgettable nightmare.

It has been said that the DJ you hire for your reception will be responsible for 80% of the success of your wedding day; yet they are normally only 5% of the reception budget. Remember you are not just hiring a DJ you are investing in the success of your wedding day. Your photographer and videographer captures memories...a good professional DJ will help create those memories.

The most common mistake is hiring a DJ based on price alone. Comparatively speaking your DJ will be your best value for your dollar. There is nothing that will cost so little but have such a great impact on the success of your event than your DJ. Tip: A little time spent looking for a professional, experienced DJ will be well worth it. Don't let price be your deciding factor.

Not realizing how important selecting the right DJ is to your event. The Facts: No matter how nice your decorations are, how delicious the meal is, how tasty the cake is; if your DJ is not up to par it can easily ruin your important day! Your DJ is the one factor that can make or break your event. Big Tip: Choose your DJ wisely.

Not hiring a professional wedding DJ: Your wedding/reception is too important to trust it to a non-professional. Unfortunately you do not get to redo your event if you hire the wrong person; it’s a one time deal. You want to hire a professional who is 100% committed to your function, not just someone who DJs as a hobby.
