10 Questions to Ask Your Wedding DJ Before You Book

By A.P — professional mobile DJ and founder of One World Soundz, Manchester

Your wedding DJ shapes the whole evening — the first dance, the atmosphere and how full the dancefloor stays. Before you book, ask these questions so there are no surprises on the day.

The Checklist

Use this list when you speak to any wedding DJ:

  • Are you available on our date, and is the date held once we book?
  • What's included — sound system, lighting, microphone for speeches?
  • Do you carry backup equipment?
  • Can we send a must-play and do-not-play list?
  • Do you take requests from guests on the night?
  • Can you handle mixed music — English, Asian, Afro and more?
  • How long does setup take, and when will you arrive?
  • Do you have public liability insurance and PAT-tested equipment? (many venues ask)
  • Do you travel to our venue, and are travel costs included?
  • Can you add extras like Dhol players or a saxophonist?

A good wedding DJ is happy to answer all of these clearly. If answers are vague, keep looking. At One World Soundz we're always happy to talk through your plans — message us on WhatsApp for a free quote for your wedding in Manchester, the North West or anywhere in the UK and Europe.
