Hiring An Oklahoma Wedding DJ

By Deanne Shepard


The details of your big day are wrapped up but there is one more detail to take care of. Finding a reputable and quality Oklahoma wedding DJ is the last thing on your list and you are fixed on finding the best professional at a quality price. The tips and suggestions that follow will help you on your quest.

The lighting you choose is extremely important. What you decide on will greatly depend on the main theme and decor of the your reception. If you are having a very quiet, subdued affair, overly large and bright lights and flash will not look right. On the flip side, if you are expecting a large, young crowd, the more lighting and special effects the better. Remember, the more you use, the more it is going to cost.

The rest of the professional's set up can make a big difference. If your reception is huge and your professional's work station is smaller than a six-foot table, it can look a little ridiculous. If you have a tiny reception, a flashy and huge station will look even worse. Choose what works best for your event. Ask the professional for photos of how his set up will look. Check his website for more information so you don't have any unpleasant surprises at your own function.

Choosing appropriate music for this reception is also extremely important. Most professionals will encourage couples to select their favorites far in advance of the big day. Specific music that can be chosen include the song for the first dance and also the dances with parents. Let the professional know that requests from guests will be highly likely and should be honored as much as time allows. If young children are invited, include interactive and silly songs just for them. This will provide even more entertainment for the guests.

There are many other tasks that a proficient professional can do for the happy couple. They can introduce the bridal party, have dance contests and play special songs for special people in the audience. They can make other announcements about the schedule of events throughout the evening. For example, they can let the crowd know when the dinner is going to be served, what time a buffet is closing, and when and where the cake cutting will be done. They can announce the congratulatory toast and any other special speakers throughout the affair.

These professionals can sometimes even provide special entertainment. Some can actually do a show for guests complete with dancers and magicians. Sometimes the lead professional can sing and dance himself. Whether you want to add this to your itinerary is a personal decision but be aware that it will cost extra.

The cost of the entertainment is also a consideration. The more tasks and equipment this professional is required to provide, the more expensive his services will be. Remember though, that this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and it can be well worth the extra monetary outlay. Costs should still be compared among several options and it should still be a main consideration when selecting the entertainment.

If you hire to right company to take care of your entertainment needs, it will be the highlight of the evening. Select the right one that matches the personality types of your guests and the overall theme of the event. The right blend of music, entertainment, and guest participation will give you a reception that will be remembered for many years.
