5 Problems with Wedding DJs (And How to Avoid Them)
SAME ‘WEDDING CLASSICS’ AT EVERY EVENT
A frequent wedding DJ horror story involves hearing the same overplayed songs at every wedding. Your DJ should avoid this and make your playlist unique. Ask potential DJs about their music library and their ability to cater to different styles. A great DJ balances classics with fresh remixes and newer hits, ensuring your wedding stands out.
OUT OF TOUCH WITH NEW MUSIC
One of the biggest things people get wrong about wedding DJs is assuming they stay current with new music. However, many are stuck playing old tracks. Look for a DJ who regularly plays at clubs or international events, ensuring they bring both energy and creativity to your event.
THE DJ DOESN’T LISTEN TO YOUR PREFERENCES
Many couples assume that their DJ will understand their music preferences right away, but that’s not always the case. Some DJs impose their tastes on your wedding. Make sure your DJ respects your vision by reviewing your ‘Must-Play’ and ‘Do Not Play’ lists.
Communication and collaboration are key to avoiding this common issue.
EGO PROBLEMS
Another common wedding DJ horror story is dealing with a DJ who has an oversized ego. You don’t want a DJ who turns your wedding into their personal performance. Look for someone who is confident but also humble, so they can adapt their set to suit the crowd without overshadowing you and your partner.
OVERUSING THE MIC
No one wants a DJ who spends too much time hyping the crowd with awkward commentary. The best wedding DJs know when to let the music do the talking. Before booking, ask your DJ how often they plan to use the mic and make sure their style matches your vision for the night.
HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST WEDDING DJ
- How do they customize playlists for different weddings?
- Do they have experience with diverse genres and audiences?
- Are they willing to take requests or stick to a prearranged playlist?
- How often do they use the microphone during the event?
- Can they provide references or reviews from past clients?
Understanding the common problems with wedding DJs will help you navigate the selection process. The key is to communicate openly and work with a DJ who values your vision. Follow these tips, and you’ll find a DJ who can help make your wedding day as unique and special as your love story.
