Expert Planning
A professional DJ will consult with you prior to the big day to make sure all the details are taken care of . This includes ensuring that the songs you specifically request are played when you want them played , having the music adhere to your overall style , and taking note of anything you specifically don ’ t want .
Memorable Experience
You want a DJ who can keep the momentum going throughout the entire event . They should be able to switch from one song to another in a fluid way so that there are no gaps of dead air or awkward rhythm transitions . They should also be able to read the crowd to know when it needs a slower pace or faster one . Professional DJs will also be able to take requests from guests that are appropriate with your desired theme and mood of the event . When an iPod is used , little can be done than play through a premade playlist that may or may not be enjoyed .
