How do you choose a DJ for your wedding? The answer is much like choosing a fiance, surprisingly.
Most people choose a DJ by price but the secret to finding someone who will make your wedding celebration a success is to find the person who you both enjoy spending time with. Then check references.
Your DJ is going to be in front of your guests all night with a microphone and sound system so if price is your only criteria, you can get some scary results. In fact, there are plenty of stories in my book, Wedding Horror Stories and How To Avoid Them, about these kinds of situations.
Remember that your wedding celebration is about your individual style, taste, customs and vision. Whoever you choose to be your representative should take the time to learn what is important to you and then be there in person to fulfill that understanding.
