How do you pick a great Wedding DJ?
So then how do you pick a great DJ and what questions should you ask? No need to fear, there are still many great ways to decipher which DJ would be best for your big day. First, you’d want to check their website, which is a direct reflection of their business. Right or wrong, first impressions are everything. Second, you also want to type their business name and reviews. Google, Yelp, Wedding Wire, and the knot are excellent places to find positive and negative reviews. If you actually saw them DJ personally or were referred to this DJ by a friend, word of mouth still holds weight in this day in age by how well they perform.
In my experience, I have heard many of my clients ask the wrong questions. For example, “can I hear one of your mixes?”. If you were to ask the wedding DJ’s to send wedding mixes, they would all sound basically the same. Many of the same songs are popular at weddings. Shout, Journey’s Don’t stop believing, staying alive from the BeeGees, or almost anything from Bruno Mars right now. However, you do want to ask them if they can beatmatch or blend music. Beatmatching is when two tracks are at the same BPM or beats per minute. A great DJ can adjust each track to be the same BPM. However, in this industry, a lot of DJs do not know how to do this and play the whole song. This leaves your guests bored by the end of the song, hearing nothing changing, and will slowly walk off the dance floor.
Last, one of the most important parts of being a Wedding DJ is the master of ceremonies. Being a professional MC, your DJ is in charge of taking control of the night and making important announcements. Your grand introduction into the reception hall needs to have an explosive feeling that gets your guests on their feet and excited about your brand new marriage. So ask your DJ what kind of training he/she has been through, and how many weddings they have done. Ask them how comfortable they are on the mic, and if MCing is included with their services.
Hopefully, this has given you some great guidance, and please feel free to reach out if I can answer any other questions you might have on wedding services!

"We loved having Steven as our DJ, he knows how to create the perfect vibe! Steven was energetic, engaging, and enjoyable to work with! From our first phone call to the last song of the night, Steven’s commitment to our wedding vision was apparent. Not only was he open to our ideas, but his excitement about them was also contagious. Steven understands how to read the vibe of the crowd and was able to express that musically. During cocktail hour the atmosphere he created inspired people to mingle with others they didn’t know and at one point groups of people were singing together out loud as if they were longtime best friends even though they just met! That set the mood for the rest of the night. We had quite a diverse crowd of guests yet he had the dance floor going all night! Even people who swore wouldn’t dance had their time out on the floor. Some of my guests were DJ’s themselves and throughout the night they came up to me and John awe-struck with how amazing Steven was! If you’re looking for a DJ that will understand you as a couple, will create an atmosphere or vibe that is the perfect balance of classy and free-spirited, and will keep the party going all night long, this is your guy! Professional, passionate, and engaging- Steven truly loves what he does! Many thanks, Steven, for helping create a truly exceptional night that we will never forget!"
"Steven came out to our community event and is absolutely great about leading events, playing awesome music themed well to the event, and keeping people happy. Highly recommend!"
"We have used Steven for two weddings this summer and both of my daughters agree that he was great! He kept the music low during dinner so there could be a conversation but then really hit it and got people dancing at the right time. He helped with the announcements and got everyone set up so all voices could be heard at the two outdoor ceremonies, one of which was very windy. He has a great attitude and willingness to make your occasion the best it can be and he succeeded! I would suggest him to anyone who wants a professional but friendly DJ."
"Eric exceeded our expectations! His music selection was right in line with what we wanted throughout the whole night. He was easy to communicate with, timely, and fun. During the reception, he quickly accommodated to some last minute changes and delays in the schedule. We were very impressed, and would highly recommended Full Scope Entertainment and Eric!"
"Full Scope is the best! They bring everything you need to make your party perfect. We throw events all the time and very rarely do you work with a group that can offer great sound, lighting, photo, and video all in one. Steven really made my job easy and managed the event flow, giving me time to talk with guests and enjoy myself. Five Stars!"
