Hey there, soon-to-be-newlyweds! Planning your wedding in New Jersey? If so, you’ve probably heard some outrageous tales about hiring a DJ. Today, we’re here to debunk 5 surprising myths about finding the perfect wedding DJ in the Garden State. Let’s dive in!
Myth #1: All DJs are the same. This is entirely false! Every wedding DJ has their own unique style, song library, and approach to keeping your dance floor moving. Now, I’m sure you’ve already attended your fair share of friends’ weddings, which is great because you’ve got a sense of what you like and dislike about specific types of entertainment. You’ve probably also noticed that you’ve heard a lot of similar songs at each wedding. This is because although it’s important for your wedding DJ to play your song requests, it’s equally important for them to play fun, familiar songs that resonate with your guests. What sets a great wedding DJ apart is their equipment, approach, and ability to read a crowd. It’s all about the music sounding well-balanced and playing the right song at the right time, which is why the right DJ can make or break the vibe of your wedding.
Myth #2: The cheapest DJ is the best deal. This is again false and could be disastrous for your big day! When it comes to wedding entertainment, for the most part, you get what you pay for. We get it; budgets are important, but skimping on your DJ can lead to technical difficulties, a lackluster playlist, and zero energy on the dance floor. You only get married once, so don’t settle for less. Make it a great night for both you and your guests!
Myth #3: The most expensive DJ is a must-have. False! As mentioned in the previous myth, with wedding entertainment, you get what you pay for, but you also have to make sure not to overpay. Believe it or not, many wedding DJ companies here in NJ will overcharge for their services because they only want to work a select number of times yearly. Booking a wedding DJ that overcharges could lead to great disappointment simply because your expectations may not be met for the amount of money you spend on their services. To give you an idea of costs, you should be able to hire a great wedding DJ for a 4-hour wedding reception starting at around $2450.
Myth #4: The DJ just shows up and plays music. Far from it! A skilled wedding DJ goes beyond just showing up and playing music for four hours. Not only does your wedding DJ keep the party going all night long, but they meticulously plan the timeline and coordinate with your other vendors to ensure your entire event flows well. They’re not just there to play music; they’re there to make sure your wedding day runs smoothly.
Myth #5: You can’t customize your DJ’s playlist. False! The best DJs work closely with you to create a playlist that reflects your personal music taste and gets everyone out on that dance floor.
So there you have it, friends—the real deal on hiring a wedding DJ in New Jersey. If you’re getting married and you’re on the lookout for a great wedding DJ, contact us today. We’d be happy to help!
