Finding the perfect Atlanta wedding DJ to play music that your guests will like during your wedding may be a challenging process in and of itself. Even while some people think you can’t call yourself a DJ until you’ve cleared the dance floor, we hope the advice below will help you choose the best Atlanta wedding DJ for filling the dance floor so that everyone else may practice their abilities somewhere else!

Budget

Atlanta wedding DJ rates may range from very low to very high, so it’s helpful to get an approximate idea. Trying to be realistic when estimating DJ fees is a good idea. When you pay $5000 to have Calvin Harris DJ your wedding, he will not do it. The average cost of a professional DJ is $750 to $2500.

Mobile or Club DJ Choice

There is no reason for the stigma associated with the mobile Atlanta wedding DJ to exist. This is just a fancy way of saying that the DJ is taking care of everything from the music to the lighting and visuals. If you want an accurate price from the DJ, you need to be sure they know how big the facility is and what vibe you desire for your event.  A great mobile wedding DJ will normally have nightclub dj experience.

 

The club Atlanta wedding DJ just shows up and starts playing. Just make sure they have all the technical needs for playing their set, and there won’t be much time spent setting up. Request a tech rider, which contains the club DJ’s technical specs, if you’ve hired them. Determine if the DJ will use turntables, CD decks, USB, a laptop, or some mix of these. Give yourself plenty of time since either you or the location will need to pay more to rent it.  Make sure the dj has the appropriate equipment, sound, lighting and special effects to create your dream night.

Consider The Guests

Hiring an Atlanta wedding DJ with extensive wedding expertise is your best bet if you want Great Aunt Doris, an often-sad adolescent, and your coworkers to get their groove on. It may seem apparent, but not all disc jockeys are eager to perform a commercially focused, very diverse mix of music. The Atlanta wedding DJ doesn’t have to be a master cheesemonger, but they should be prepared to play any request if the bride and groom allow for such opportunity.

Playlist

Making a playlist, and even more crucially, a “DO NOT” playlist, is a smart move. So that the hired Atlanta wedding DJ can check their collection for any songs on your list, it’s best to provide it at least a month or two before the event. It is better to find out before hiring the DJ that they do not accept requests than to find out the hard way on the big day. In addition to handing over a printed list, you may also use a music streaming service like Spotify, Deezer, or Grooveshark to compile a playlist and submit it to the DJ. At Theyre Playing Our Song DJ we use a highly sophistacated music selection process linked to spotify so you can hear songs as you select them.
