The Top 6 Things to Look For in a Wedding Entertainment

Most brides and grooms will tell you they want a fun party when talking about their wedding reception. In today's market with so many amateur and unprofessional wedding "DJs" out there it can be hard to know who to choose.   So we sat down with Knoxville wedding entertainer, PatrickMichael Weddings to gain some insight into what to look for (and what to watch out for) in a wedding entertainment company.

1. Look for someone personally invested in you as a couple.  Find a service that looks for ways to personalize every part of your day – from extensive planning beforehand to tailored intros, exits, and special tributes.  If you get the vibe that you’re just a paycheck, find that exit sign and hightail it out of there.

2. Choose more than just an MC or DJ. Don’t settle for someone who just drops by to play music. Keep in mind that your entertainment choice is one of the biggest investments you will make for your guests!  Ask yourself, “What do I want my reception like before the dancing begins?”

3. Check references, and make sure the provider is dependable and reliable. You don’t want to get to your reception and find the DJ missing. You also don’t want surprises like inappropriate comments that your guests will likely remember for years to come.  Do your legwork before signing contracts!

4. Make sure you connect personally with the candidate before you make a decision.  If you feel uneasy about someone, would you invite him or her to your wedding? No! The DJ is the only stranger in the room at your reception that must relate to all your guests in an appropriate fashion. Finding a DJ you feel comfortable with ensures that he or she can personalize your experience. You will naturally tell him or her more about yourselves.

5. Don’t forget to focus on the celebration! Have no doubt the DJ knows how to have fun! You won’t want a kid with no experience, and you won’t want someone who openly dislikes the type of music you and your fiancé prefer. Embrace what makes you unique as a couple – and make sure the DJ does too!

6. The price tag should not dictate your decision. As Patrick from PatrickMichael Weddings says, “What you really want for your wedding reception celebration is almost never realized by hiring the cheapest professional you can find.” Decide what you really want your reception like, and adjust your budget accordingly to guarantee that it happens.
