San Francisco Wedding DJs

How Your Wedding DJ Search Will Begin

Because San Francisco is such a popular place to get married, you should make choosing your venue and vendors a priority - and that's true when you're hiring a wedding DJ or wedding band. Starting your search early ensures that you have time to find a San Francisco DJ service you really love that also fits into your your wedding budget. Remember, San Francisco is pricey so chances are you're going to pay more than the national average for a DJ at your wedding.

They're worth every penny, though! Most San Francisco wedding DJs will do more than just spin tunes at your reception. They'll be the MC for your event, introducing you and your wedding party, and they'll help keep your wedding on track by telling guests when it is time to gather for special events like the cutting of the cake. They'll also set the mood of your reception using music, whether that means playing up tempo music to get guests excited or winding things down at the end of the night.

Ask Potential Wedding DJs These Questions First

Whenever you talk to San Francisco DJs, have a list of questions to ask handy so you get the information you need to make an informed choice. The first things you should ask about are availability, price, equipment, performance style, and whether a DJ is familiar with your wedding venue. If you're looking for a San Francisco DJ service that can provide extras, ask specifically about lighting rigs, video presentations, photo booths, and props. If you'd prefer your wedding DJ not take requests from guests or play certain songs, make sure you address that directly. And finally, always ask for references because reviews can only tell you so much.

Tip: Keeping track of the San Francisco wedding vendors you've interviewed in a wedding vendor manager so you never forget which ones you liked best (and least).

Your Wedding DJ Can Make Your Big Day Amazing

With your help, that is. If your San Francisco wedding DJ will also be acting as MC and keeping guests in the know about photo ops and special moments, you'll need to give them more than a do-not-play list. You can help your DJ keep your reception flowing smoothly by giving them a comprehensive timeline of events and a pronunciation guide for any challenging names in your wedding party.
