In your search for the perfect wedding DJ, it’s crucial to ask the right questions to align with the vibe and style of your special day. As part of our ongoing series, “Find Your Wedding Planning Dream Team“, we connected with Complete Weddings + Events Orlando for advice on selecting the ideal DJ for your celebration.
Complete Weddings and Events is Orlando’s leading provider of DJ services. As well as photography, videography, lighting and photobooth rental. Because of their experence and expertise in the wedding industry, we are thrilled to share their advice on hiring a wedding DJ.
“Hey DJ”, are you ready to party?
Absolutely the #1 question to ask your wedding DJ – “Hey DJ, are you ready to party?” Just like with your other vendors, you want a DJ that “gets you” and has the vibe and spark you want for your wedding. Complete Weddings and Events Orlando says, “Choosing the right Orlando wedding DJ can be the difference between a “meh” party and one that wows you and your guests.”
Your DJ is more than just someone playing music. This vendor is also responsible for some or all of the following details:
- MC
- Announcements
- Providing microphone and sound for speeches
- Ceremony, Cocktail Hour, Reception and After Party Music
- Choosing the right music for a particular time of the reception. For instance, cake cutting music is different than packing the dance floor music.
- Speaking of packing the dance floor, hands down this is where the DJ shines. It is the DJs job to read the room and know what music is keeping the dance floor full. Ultimately making sure your guests want the party to never end.

Questions To Ask Your Wedding DJ
As aforementioned, we collaborated with local DJ company Complete Weddings + Events Orlando on this blog. During this conversation, they shared with us the top questions to ask your DJ before hiring them.
1. How familiar are you with the venue? Will you, as the DJ company, be asking the venue if they will be providing you tables + outlets for your equipment? Or is this something we need to handle?
2. How are you over the microphone? At Complete Weddings + Events, our experienced professionals are both DJ and Emcee for your event.
3. How will you share a timeline with us containing all the information we talked about during our first meeting?
4. What song recommendations are you able to make for certain moments in the wedding that we are not sure to pick a song for?
5. Should we play the Photo Dash, Shoe Game, and/or book a Complete Photo Booth?. Complete says, “Yes to everything!”
6. We are not sure how to do some classic wedding line dances, will you be able to instruct us? The DJs at Complete say, “Of course!”
7. Would you recommend a “Sweetheart Dance” while our guests get set up for the specialty exit? Completes response, “Always!”
8. What is the best method for us to tip you for your services that night?
9. How long do we have to wait until we can book you for our next party?
