How to choose a wedding DJ in Toronto
Your DJ controls the energy of the entire reception. Choosing well comes down to experience, reviews, communication and the right questions. Here is how to separate a true professional from a risky bargain.
12 questions to ask before you book
- How many weddings have you DJ’d, and how many at my venue?
- Will you also act as MC and make announcements?
- What happens if you are sick or unavailable on my date?
- Do you bring backup equipment?
- How do you read a crowd and keep the dance floor full?
- Can we submit must-play and do-not-play lists?
- Do you meet with us before the wedding?
- What sound and lighting is included?
- How do you handle song requests from guests?
- Are you experienced with multicultural or bilingual weddings?
- What is included in the price, and what costs extra?
- Can we see reviews, video or a past event?
Red flags to avoid
- No written contract or a vague quote
- No backup equipment or backup DJ plan
- Only club or party experience, no weddings
- Reluctance to let you speak to past clients
- Pressure to book immediately with a “today only” deposit
- No liability insurance
Judge on more than the playlist
A great wedding DJ is a planner, an MC and a sound engineer in one. Ask how they handle a quiet crowd, a late dinner service, or a family member who wants the microphone. The best DJs have a plan for every moment of your Toronto wedding.
