In yesterday’s post, I wrote about wedding emcees and why it’s important to ask them what they will wear to your wedding, because what they wear may or may not match the decor and overall “look” you want to create for your wedding.

The article applies to DJs as well. I cringe every time I host a thoroughly-planned wedding where every color, flower, and linen complements a distinct look, and the DJ shows up looking like this:

As with your Master of Ceremonies, ask your DJ what he or she will wear to your event. Are they willing to work with you to achieve the “look” of your party? Do they have a “uniform” that may clash with your presentation?
Another important question to consider: how will their equipment look at your wedding? If you are planning an elegant, well-planned celebration, it’s embarrassing when your DJ’s setup has messy wires hanging out and looking disheveled, isn’t it? Imagine walking into the elegant Ocean Ballroom at the JW Marriott Ihilani Resort and seeing the DJ’s setup looking like this:

After all, you have spent so much time considering how you would want your ballroom or venue to look…don’t let the DJ ruin it! Their messiness is a reflection of YOU, because you hired them! Make sure your DJ’s setup fits the “look” you want to achieve; at the very least, make sure it is neat!
