Hiring An Oklahoma Wedding DJ For Your Special Day

By Deanne Shepard


The details of your big day are wrapped up but there is one more detail to take care of. Finding a reputable and quality Oklahoma wedding DJ is the last thing on your list and you are fixed on finding the best professional at a quality price. The tips and suggestions that follow will help you on your quest.

The lighting scheme of your event is very important. The type you decide on will depend on the overall theme of your reception. If it is just a quiet, elegant affair, large amounts of lighting and flash will look inappropriate but if it is a large, rambunctious function, the more lights, smoke and glitter, the better. The amount of lighting needed will also make a difference in the cost.

The rest of the professional's set up can make a big difference. If your reception is huge and your professional's work station is smaller than a six-foot table, it can look a little ridiculous. If you have a tiny reception, a flashy and huge station will look even worse. Choose what works best for your event. Ask the professional for photos of how his set up will look. Check his website for more information so you don't have any unpleasant surprises at your own function.

The song selections for the reception are also very important. Most companies will allow the happy couple to select their songs ahead of time especially for special dances such as the first dance or the dances with the parents. Let the company or individual know if they should honor requests from guests also. If children are involved, including some fun and interactive songs just for them will help brighten the party even more.

A true professional can assist with the reception in so many ways. Introducing the new couple, holding dance competitions, and playing special songs for special guests are just a few of the extras that they can provide. They are very helpful in making announcements about dinner service, cake cuttings and the departure of the newly married couple. They can also announce the toasts that congratulate the couple and can provide a microphone for family and guest speakers.

Some companies will even have special entertainment available. They may have individuals who can perform dance routines to the music and magicians who do tricks to the tunes. Some professionals even know how to dance and sing. Whether this is a necessary part of the evening is up to the bridal couple and their budget.

The cost of the entertainment is also a consideration. The more tasks and equipment this professional is required to provide, the more expensive his services will be. Remember though, that this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and it can be well worth the extra monetary outlay. Costs should still be compared among several options and it should still be a main consideration when selecting the entertainment.

Hiring the right professional will make all the difference on your special day. Choosing the one that matches the personality of the event and the type of guests you are expecting will give you a reception that will be remembered for years to come.
