This is a question that doesn’t get asked enough!  Alot of newly engaged couples wait to hire their wedding DJ at the wrong time and end up with not enough money to hire the one they want. Sometimes they aren’t able to hire the one they want because he or she is already booked.

In all reality, because of the impact on the success of the wedding that the DJ has, you should look to hire the DJ second after you have selected your venue.  Here is why:

1) Your DJ has the greatest impact on the success of your wedding and will allow for better services from your other vendor if selected properly (see “How to hire the right DJ for your wedding“).

2) All of the great DJs are in demand and often book up early in the booking season

3) If you budgeted correctly, you can use the budget amount you didn’t need for the DJ on other things or vendors (see “How much should you set aside for your wedding DJ“

In most cases, if you hired a real professional wedding DJ ( see “what excactly does a wedding DJ do“)  they can guide you towards other professional vendors that you can trust will provide great services as well.  A great wedding DJ will help you by acting as the guide of your wedding reception and will work very hard to ensure your wedding is exactly what you wanted an more.  I like to call them the “quarterback” of your wedding reception.  A good quarterback will bring the team together and make sure the reception flows and will help in creating a wedding reception that will be nothing short of amazing.
