How do you choose between a trio or quartet? Is a DJ more your style?
A trio or quartet will be more expensive than a single string (harp or violin). But a trio or quartet will give more options and a fuller sound. Visit Lake Terrace Trio (Above) for music samples and pricing!
Take note that some string instruments will not play when the temperature is less than 60 degrees or over 90 degrees. So, consider your ceremony location and the time of year.
Pricing for bands are much more expensive than a DJ, because you have to pay several band members verses one DJ. Also, the set up is less complicated. Local prices do not vary too much. Be skeptical of someone willing to work for a lot less than others. You often get what you pay for when it comes to DJs. We love Knox Vegas DJs (Above)!
Here's a checklist for selecting a Disc Jockey for your wedding.
Are they willing to make introductions and announcements?
Will they work the microphone so that the announcements are not too loud or muffled?
Do they blend songs rather than cutting them off in the middle?
They should control the volume, so that it doesn’t vary too much up and down.
Are they good at reading the crowd? They should know the songs that fill the dance floor and avoid songs that clear it out!
A professional will talk to you in advance to learn your style and song selections. You should also take time to learn their style. Ask how much they interact with the crowd and their theory on the DJ’s role. Be sure it matches your vision for your day!
We love Knox Vegas DJs, Gary Loe Productions, and Jim Ogle of Speical Notes. They are all true professionals and meet all of our criteria and then some!
Get Down and have fun!
