Wedding DJ Tips

Having children at your wedding, consider buying the children's book "The Best Wedding Ever". It's a beautifully illustrated children's book written by me, DJ Dave Dionne. It's a cool way to show kids what they'll see at a wedding, the ceremony, first dance, cake cutting, etc....

I did a Google search today, I typed in Maine Wedding DJs. One of the top search options was a company offering a Wedding DJ for UNDER $500!!! You might have better luck shopping for a wedding DJ on Craig's List. Maine is a big State, there's no way to offer a DJ for a wedding in Fort Kent or Kittery at the same price (or an island wedding).

For a quick and accurate Wedding DJ pice, feel free to text or call at 207-240-3012 anytime or email me at [email protected]. A quick phone call can easily get you an accurate quote with only a few basic questions (how many hours do you need the DJ for? Do you need the DJ for the ceremony?). Be sure to book your Wedding DJ ASAP!!!!

It looks like we're headed back to "normal" here in Maine as it pertains to weddings. I appreciate the fact that the pandemic is fading and especially that we here in America are safe and able to gather with friends and family for the upcoming wedding season. When I see how life is in the Ukraine, I'm especially appreciative of where we're at in Maine.

Most couples inquiring to my wedding DJ company ask two main questions, are you available and hoe much do you charge? Each inquiry is unique, it's distance from our home base, the number of hours you may need, whether or not the wedding is on an island (or mountaintop). Typical pricing starts between $1295 and $1695. For a more experienced wedding DJ, the price can be substantially higher.

It's a common question from couples, what's the process for picking music!! Choosing pre-ceremony music, cocktail hour music and dinner music is easy, anything works and fits. Dancing time music is a bit tricker. You may want give your Wedding DJ "Carte Blanche" as far as deciding what to play and when to play it!!

Be sure to take the time to prepare a list of songs to be played during the pre-ceremony time period. Ask your DJ if they'll be including that service on the day of your wedding. in addition to your processional and recessional songs, choosing the right pre-ceremony music helps set the tone or the vibe for the actual ceremony.

If you'll be having children at or in your wedding, consider getting the children's book "The Best Wedding Ever". 38 beautifully illustrated pages that show what typically happens at a wedding, the ceremony, the photographs, intros, first dance, toasts, father/daughter dance, cake cutting, bouquet toss and dancing to the DJ's music!!! Available on Amazon in paperback or hard cover.

Like so many other sectors of the economy, there's a shortage of experienced and affordable Wedding DJs. Be sure to book your DJ as soon as possible. Get a written contract and a certificate of insurance too! Be sure your wedding DJ is easy to reach.

Have you decided to feed your wedding vendors? Photographer, Bartender, DJ, Band, Photo Booth person, etc... It's not in my Wedding DJ contract that you have to feed me, but if you do, I appreciate it. If you do decide to feed your DJ, be sure to convey that fact to your wedding coordinator or caterer! Plan ahead!
