While other details for your wedding may be overwhelming you, selecting the right DJ for your reception should rank amongst the most important. You might think anyone can DJ even a small child but remember the DJ will be a major player in entertaining for your guests. We have a few pointers to consider when selecting a DJ:

* Will he be able to fully cover the reception area with the equipment he has. No nightmare could be worse than seeing your guest sitting in eerie quiet.

* In addition to his musical ability be sure he can speak eloquently. Remember he will be the one making announcements. Besides his voice you will need to verify he has a good working microphone. Prior to the reception make certain that you and he have agreed on the music to be played and the length of time he is expected to perform. Never assume he knows where to be and when to be there. Be clear about your expectations.

* Does he give you advice on suggestions for improving the tone and atmosphere of your reception. An experienced DJ knows what works and what doesnt at a wedding reception as many have done hundreds or thousands. He should be asking the size of the crowd, the median age of the crowd, and should also be getting a feel for the type of atmosphere that you want portrayed at your reception.
