Westchester Wedding DJs

Starting Your Search for Westchester DJs

Hiring a wedding DJ you love is a matter of finding them, and that means knowing what you're looking for. Did you know that wedding DJs in Westchester and elsewhere do more than just play music? Their job, whether they're working alone or with a wedding band, is to act as MC and set the mood of your reception from beginning to end. If you're working with a full service DJ company, they will also be able to provide extras like lighting rigs, props, photo booth rentals, and multimedia setups.

Look for a Westchester DJ who is enthusiastic, engaging, and experienced. And make sure your wedding budget accounts for the fact that Westchester DJs tend to charge about 50% more than than national average. Weddings in this area are generally more expensive, so if that's out of reach, look into the possibility of having your wedding on a Friday or Monday before you opt for the cheapest vendors because you have to.

How to Talk to Westchester Wedding DJs

Take the stress out of interviewing Westchester DJs (and other wedding vendors) by always having a list of basic questions ready. Always ask about price, availability, experience, equipment, performance style, and any extras you want first. From there, you can ask about anything at all, from do-not-play lists to how they will handle guest requests. At the end of every interview, make sure you ask for references you can call or email directly and for a highlight reel of past performances you can watch if they have one.

Tip: You won't lose track of the vendors you love when you log their details in a wedding vendor manager or on a spreadsheet.
