How much should I budget for a DJ. 2019 Edition

Four types of DJs

Bargain DJs  – $400 – $900

These DJs are not as experienced as others, therefore, they won’t offer the quality entertaiment you’re wishing to have. Since this is a hobby, they won’t be able to meet you, have time for your emergency calls or anything else you might need.

Average DJs – $900 – $1400

Keep in mind that these types of DJ companies are often “one-person-DJ-companies.” They are often slow to respond to your questions and lack depth in their customer service. It also means that if they are unable to make it to your wedding, you don’t have a DJ for your wedding (and we typically hear about this a few times per year).

Wedding Specialist DJs – $1400 – $2000

Wedding Specialist DJ Companies have lots of experience. They’ve performed for hundreds, or even thousands, of weddings and have years of experience. These DJs invest in regular training and skill development in music research, mixing, music production, MCing, lighting setup, audio setup and so much more.

Most Expensive DJs $1800 – $3000+

Finally, there are DJs charging over $1800 for weddings. In our opinion, you should only pay this rate under certain circumstances. If you’ve seen this DJ personally at an event and they did an amazing job then it may be worth paying extra.

Why is equipment so important for DJs?

There's a reason you don't want your niece to DJ your 30th birthday party. Even if she has fabulous taste in music, unless she has professional sound equipment, your big party will sound like it's being played on a home stereo. The money that professional DJs invest in their equipment is part of the reason they charge the rates they do.

The more high-tech sound system, the larger investment on the part of the DJ. DJs might bring anywhere from $8,000 to $10,000 worth of music and sound equipment to an event. If you want an upgraded package that includes lighting and other special effects, that requires even more valuable equipment. This is also why it's important to hire DJs in Kelowna who has the appropriate insurance coverage.

You might think all this equipment is overpriced and whatnot. However, it’s actually very important. If you want your event to sound amazing and feel amazing, it’s all in the equipment.

What to expect when hiring a DJ?

Wedding DJs can make or break a wedding reception. The personality of your wedding DJ can set the mood for the entire affair, especially if you are having them provide MC services in addition to playing music. DJs in Kelowna recommend that you should find a wedding DJ you would be proud to introduce to your whole family. If you are hiring a DJ for your wedding, be sure they meet any requirements of your venue, including liability insurance.

When you hire a DJ, they expect you to have requests and preferences about the music you want played. Their fees account not just for the time they spend spinning songs at your party, but also for the time they spend preparing by making playlists and organizing music for your event. Requests for obscure music can increase costs — especially if it's something the DJ does not already own, requiring him or her to download music or find it elsewhere. Don't be shy about communicating freely with your DJ about must-hear songs and the overall mood you want.

Why should I hire a DJ?

Most people hire a DJ to provide a mobile sound system and play music as entertainment during an event, such as a wedding or birthday party. But you can hire a local DJ for any type of event, including corporate events, junior high or high school dances, graduation parties, family reunions, class reunions, anniversary parties, engagement parties, wedding receptions, or any other type of party where tunes are needed.

You can even hire DJs in Kelowna to provide appropriate musical backing at a celebration of life for a loved one. You don't need to have a major event to hire a DJ; a summer barbecue is occasion enough to hire a pro to set the right mood. Depending on the type of event you are hosting, you may want to request a musical theme such as pop/rock, hip-hop/rap, country, Top 40, Latin, electronic dance music, oldies, Indian/Bollywood or more. With millions of songs available electronically these days, DJs can work with your theme and create playlists tailor-made for your event.

3 Genres To Avoid On Your Wedding Playlist

When it comes to matters of choosing your wedding playlist you may be at a loss. Accommodating the likes and personal tastes of all your wedding guests is nearly impossible. There will always be songs that some guests and enjoy, and some songs that some guests will detest.

While it is in fact your day, and you should not worry so much about your guests, you do want to make sure that everyone is having a good time. Creating a personalized playlist with a professional DJ at airwaves music is a sure way to make sure that you are getting the music that you want on your special.

But there are some definite don'ts when it comes to choosing genres for your wedding day. These are the top three genres that should not be included in your wedding playlist.

Screamo- most guests will not enjoy an evening of screamo music. It may even cause your guests to head for the door early.

Hard Core Rap- when creating your playlist it is a good idea to stay away from genres that guests have a strong opinion on. Typically the elderly crowd is not going to appreciate hard core rap music in your wedding playlist.

Country- it isn’t a bad idea to insert a few country hits into your playlist. But by making country your main genre you can drag out the evening and create a slow and dreary vibe.

The most important thing to keep in mind is that it is your day. But if you are wanting to please all of your wedding guests try to avoid the above genres to keep everyone up on their feet and dancing the night away.

Two Week Checklist For Your Wedding

The final two weeks before your wedding are perhaps the most stressful and overwhelming weeks. There is so much to do and it seems that the days just are not long enough.  

If you are feeling the pressure in these final weeks of planning I want you to take a step back and take in a deep breathe. This is supposed to be the most important and fun day of your life. Don’t let trivial details stress you out.

The best thing that you can do for yourself is keep calm and collected in those days leading up to your wedding. Using the following checklist as a guide of what to do in those two weeks before you big day:

Update your registry- ensure that everything is up to date on your registry list. This may include taking things off your list that are unnecessary.

Give final count to caterer- by two weeks before your big day, you should have a final list of guest. This gives your caterer enough time to prepare as well.

Give your final playlist to your DJ- by this time your personalized playlist should be complete. If you are not interested in making a playlist there are plenty of DJs in Kelowna that have playlists ready to go for your big day.

Delegate Responsibility- not everything should be on you and your spouse. Delegate responsibilities to the wedding party, family, and friends who want to help out.

When your wedding day is approaching you should be excited, not stressed. By accomplishing these little tasks ahead of time you can keep the days leading up to your wedding stress free and light.
