Choosing a DJ

Choosing a DJ for your big day can be very confusing.  Most Brides and Grooms have never actually had to hire a DJ before, so they have no idea what to even ask a prospective company they are interviewing.
About 95% of brides that call Complete Music’s office ask the same first question… “How much do you charge?”  Although price is an important factor in choosing a company, if you base your decision solely on price you will be disappointed.

According to Modern Bride Magazine, the Knott and a few other national wedding sources:
Before their wedding, brides ranked the entertainment 9^th in importance but AFTER their wedding those same brides surveyed ranked the entertainment as the number one most important thing in their wedding!  Considering, on average only 5% of your wedding budget is going to be spent on the entertainment, it is critical that brides and grooms know what to ask companies and know what to look for in finding a professional service.  

On Monday, we will look into a few of the questions that you MUST ask your potential DJs before hiring them! Be sure to check back!
