26 Important Questions To Ask Your Wedding DJ

Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life. Make sure you book a wedding DJ that’s not only professional and experienced, but also a great fit for your event. If possible, meet your DJ in person prior to your event to get a sense of whether you connect well, as well as ask critical questions about their experience, logistics, pricing, and their style/personality. Thoroughly vet your DJ/entertainment and be sure to ask him or her these 26 important questions!
