However, Tom gave me some instructions today: Finish his laundry...check. Look up electrician's phone number...check. Face the music and find a DJ...(screeching halt) This has been one thing up until this point that does not grab my interest. Gasp! Why might you ask? A previous landlord of mine owns a wonderful DJ service but unfortunately he was booked for our date so I kind of stopped looking after that. Trust is vital when it comes to a DJ because you trust them to play good music, keep everybody entertained, and make special announcements in a professional manner. They need to respect your wishes, understand the audience, and make sure everyone is having fun. It sounds easy enough, right? Unfortunately, I haven't been to many weddings but the ones I have been to the DJ's have left me with a meh feeling. When guests leave our wedding, I'd like for them to think of how much fun they had in every aspect-- which includes the dance floor.

So is it possible to avoid a washed-up, inappropriate music-playing, talentless DJ??
My ideas (kind of no-brainers here!)
- Ask friends & relatives for suggestions based on their experiences
- Read reviews on websites - such as WeddingBee's own section on reviews
- Make sure to meet with any DJ before booking to discuss Play/Do Not Play lists
- Keep your fingers crossed
- Or, skip the DJ all together and use an iPod
Any other ideas? How has your DJ experience turned out?
