There are times when in the planning stages of a party when budgets go wild and the last item at hand becomes the music and who will play it. We’ve had clients that confess to us that prior to seeking out a DJ, they actually considered having an iPod play lists in loop mode or their favorite app. While this might save you a lot of money, a party without a DJ can be a boring party. The app would not know what type of music to play based on the audience’s reaction to a song or even be able to pump the crowd when the party really gets going. These are some but a few thing that make the DJ at a party unique.
A professional DJ can adapt to the atmosphere happening on the dance floor and guide the crowd into a rocking party. In addition, a DJ service will sometimes provide you with an MC that will transition your party through important timelines that you designate for your party. It is important to note that your guests will be in tune with the food, they will be hungry and we’ll want to party after so that means that the music is equally important.
After all, if you’re throwing a party, why not make it memorable to you and your guests. So next time you’re planning a party, make sure the DJ is on your top 5 things to budget for. Make sure you have a few songs selected that you will require, your preferred genres and or provide this list to the wedding planner to ensure your DJ is well aware of what you’d like to hear. However, we would also recommend requesting that you meet the DJ if you’re working with a wedding planner as this will allow you to get to know the person that will entertain you and your guests for your special night.
