How did you decide on a DJ?

Original post by rcotter90

Were currently on the hunt for our dj and we just don't know where to start lol. We made appointments with Tommy's tunes, after hours, and parties alive.. But how do you know if they're right for you? we all know a bad mc can ruin a party. Were mostly going off recommendations here. I've been to multiple events where parties alive was the dj but never a wedding, only installation dinners and it's not hard to get 150 drunk firefighters to dance lol. I feel like at the showcases I've been to, it's not like you even get a feel for them there.. They're Obvs gonna put their best mc up there on the mic.

Idk.. Any opinions on these? Any other recommendations? What do we even ask them when we meet them?

ETA: were looking for a 2 man dj and mc team and a live percussionist and that's pretty much it.

We booked with Just 4 the Record, one of the two djs included in our venue's all inclusive package. The other dj had some bad reviews and when they emailed me they used 'their' instead of 'there'. So that plus the bad reviews sealed the other dj's fate. I met with Eliot from J4TR and he was great. We upgrades some things for reasonable prices. He also said I can pick every song if I wanted lol


I've heard good things! Do you have a quote you could send me? I realllly need to get on this DJ thing. Thanks :)

We booked with After Hours. They were one of two DJs recommended to us, and oddly enough we were able to see both DJs at the same showcase. We both felt very strongly about After Hours (and McLuvin, lol), so we booked for our engagement party. We did not get DJ McLuvin for the party, we got Brett instead, and he was also AMAZING. We got so many compliments from our guests about him. We are booking again with them for the wedding (appointment next week!), and this time we will request Bret.

I actually don't, I'm sorry. I only have a quote for add ons to the all inclusive package which wouldn't be honored without the all inclusive package. Sorry
