Tips and Advice
  1. Make sure you start your planning early. Most good DJ’s (or any other wedding professional) are usually booked 6 months in advance.
  2. Make sure you see your DJ. Ask him for a video. A professional will have one.
  3. Stay away from large companies. Remember, most DJs and DJ companies charge about the same price. With a large company, usually less than half goes to the DJ. That means he’s only half worth the price.
