Salt Lake City Wedding DJs

Find the Best Salt Lake City DJs by Searching Early

If you think you can put finding a wedding DJ (or a wedding band) on the back burner while you focus on other wedding planning to-dos, think again! Talented DJ services in Salt Lake City tend to book up fast, which means you can save yourself a whole lot of stress by starting your search as early as possible. The good news is that wedding DJs in this part of the country usually charge nearly half the national average so you'll be able to find DJs who understand your wedding vision and also fit into your wedding budget.

Tip: No matter how much you have earmarked to spend on your wedding DJ, look for DJs who have a lot of personality and a flair for setting the mood with music.

Sorting Through Salt Lake City Wedding DJs

There's no limit to what you can ask a potential DJ but it makes sense to start with questions that address availability, the total price and deposits, equipment, experience with your venue, and performance style. Keeping track of the answers you receive in a wedding vendor manager or on a spreadsheet will help you winnow down your options. From there, you can ask about add-ons like multimedia equipment for presentations, props, lighting rigs, and photo booth rentals. Many couples ask potential wedding DJs whether they will take requests from guests or honor a do-not-play list. Finally, ask for references and whether the DJ has a highlight reel of clips from past performances in the Salt Lake City area you can watch.

What Wedding DJs Actually Do May Surprise You!

The most experienced wedding DJs in Salt Lake City will do more than just play music. They are masters of reading the room, which means they can get guests onto the dance floor when you want them there and wind the mood down when it's time for special showcase moments like the cake cutting. And since experienced wedding DJs have seen it all, they can be a real asset when something goes wrong. For instance, if dinner delayed your wedding DJ can keep guests entertained until it's time to dine. They'll also serve as MC, make announcements, answer guests' questions, keep the reception on schedule, and ensure people are having fun until the very last dance. Your DJ may do almost as much as a wedding coordinator to guarantee that your reception is a huge success!
