3 Tips For Hiring Your Wedding DJ

Gaines Entertainment • June 25, 2018

These three things will make your hiring process a piece of cake!

The #3 thing you should be looking for when hiring your Wedding DJ is lots of photos and lots of VIDEOS . In today's market, you can easily be fooled by stolen photos. Yes...I said stolen. There are a large number of DJs that use other DJs' event photos to make their websites and social media accounts look accomplished. So beware...
Video is the only way to really get a feel of your potential Wedding DJ without meeting them in person.
-VIDEO DOES NOT LIE

The #2 thing you should be looking for is lots and lots of reviews. Your potential DJ should have many different reviews from many different sources. If you can't find reviews (good or bad) on Yelp, Facebook, Google, Thumbtack, WeddingWire, or The Knot -----> RUN! Just run away!

Lastly, the #1 thing to look for is fit. It's important that your Wedding DJ really vibes with you and your fiancé. When you find the right person, you'll know. It'll feel like you're teaming up with your friend to put on a big party :)
