Recommendations to Root Out a Skilled Wedding DJ
|
Consult a Local Forum Word-of-mouth is a great way to collect referrals and recommendations about local service providers. And the best part about message boards? You don't even have to leave your house. So, try logging on to a local town wedding forum to collect wedding DJ referrals from brides and recent brides right in your own city. Try a site like the Canadian Wedding Bells (weddingbells.ca), which is extremely popular, but also offers a special Prairies section, devoted to brides in your area. On these forums, you can talk to other brides in your area, hear their experiences and get recommendations and referrals for a local DJ and event companies. Consult Your Photographer A good wedding photographer will work at least one wedding a weekend - that's a lot of experience and interaction with wedding DJ companies. So, if you trust your photographer, be sure to consult them on their recommendations. Alternately, if you already have a potential DJ in mind, ask them if they've ever worked with that person or company and what they think. Get to a Bridal Show or Wedding Expo Edmonton is host to three major bride shows or wedding exhibitions. They are - the Edmonton Bridal Expo, a massive event that's held every fall and considered one of the best in the city; Bridal Fantasy, a twice-annual event that's held in both Calgary and Edmonton; and The Bridal Fair, a smaller event that's typically held twice a year. There's a lot going on at a bridal expo, but if you're smart, it's a great opportunity to meet and greet a number of different DJ and entertainment companies in one place. You'll get a real feel for their personality, which is important as most DJ's also serve as your MC. You can also do quick and easy price comparison while you secretly check out their equipment and song selections. Avoid Do-It-All Companies You'll often see wedding entertainment companies that offer massive packages which include your limo, videography, photography and DJ services. But, the question is - do you want someone that does everything fairly well or someone that does one thing with particular skill? Ideally, you want a DJ that knows how to DJ and is going to do the job well. You wouldn't hire a photographer to cater your food or a florist to officiate your reception, so why hire a limo company to handle your reception entertainment? Consult With the Venue If you're hosting your wedding reception at a popular venue, they'll likely be able to recommend a number of quality local wedding DJ companies. Because most venues host numerous weddings every year, they get to hear and see a wide range of DJ's - meaning they often know who is good and who might be better to avoid.
