The first 3 questions you should ask all DJs when looking for your DJ for your wedding.
1. Is being a DJ your full time job?
2. Do you currently work as a wedding DJ and how many wedding have you done personally?
3. Are you the DJ that will be my DJ on the day?
How do you choose the RIGHT person to be your wedding MC?
First, consider who you will be handing a live microphone to at your wedding.
Unfortunately, most couples don’t think about the impact a wedding MC can have until the moment they start cringing at their reception. Interestingly, unlike other countries, in Australia it’s considered normal for a family member or friend to take on the role of the MC at a wedding. Therefore the person, often trusted with the microphone and the job of keeping a wedding flowing, has never done either before.
Your MC will play a large role in the success of your wedding. Whoever you trust that live microphone to at your wedding, you want to be sure that they understand the power of a microphone. It has the power to motivate your guests and it has the power to horrify them as well. It is therefore important to choose someone who has experience and knows what YOU want.
Next, consider if the person you’re going to ask to MC your wedding has any fears or concerns.
If you were asked to MC a wedding reception, what would be your biggest concern? Public speaking is often listed as peoples number one fear, ranked even higher than death or spiders. So, essentially asking a friend or family member to MC your wedding could be viewed as worse than throwing a spider at them!
This is often overlooked when couples select a family member or friend with the idea that they will “know the couple better”. While this can be true, the most common question a professional MC gets asked normally is “Wow, how do you know the bride and groom so well and I’ve never met you?”. This is because a professional wedding MC invests considerable time in getting to know the couple. The results in them being able to host the couple’s wedding in a personalised manner.
Your MC should also know exactly what to say at exactly the right moment.
Despite all the planning that goes into a wedding, they never run without a hitch. Your MC needs to be able to think on their feet and effectively coordinate the many different elements of your wedding (the venue, catering, photographer, videographer, entertainment. etc). This is all while keeping your guests entertained and engaged, and most importantly your stress levels non-existent. These skills come with professional training and experience. For your wedding to be a success, everyone (including you) needs to enjoy it and a well chosen, professional wedding MC will ensure it.
Remember to ask lots of questions.
The more questions you ask the person you’re considering to be your MC, the better decision you will be able to make. Ask them about their wedding MC experience and training they have had. Ask them to share ways they have made other peoples weddings unique. And, how they plan to personalise yours. A good wedding MC should be able to provide lots of references from happy couples and other wedding vendors that rave about their MC skills.
