There are 5 types of wedding DJs
So when your searching for your DJ online you will find 5 types of DJs;;
- The Acoustic Guitarist DJ,
- The Agency DJ
- The Multi-op Event DJ,
- The Professional DJ and
- The ‘Hobbiest’.
How do you tell which one is right for you?
- The Acoustic Guitarist – in order to get more work many acoustic guitarist in 2024 say they are also a DJ. They tend to be more expensive because singers/guitarist take breaks and a DJ never takes a break. Is that the best value? P.S There’s even a celebrant masquerading as a DJ to get more work.
- With an agency they focus on getting you to pay a deposit (which they keep; that’s how they make their money). Then they find a ‘hobbiest’ (see below) to do your wedding; usually the lowest bidder calling himself a DJ. You do not get to meet them until the night of your wedding… by then it’s too late. The ‘hobbiest’ they find rarely answer their phone because they have a day job. I imagine it’s a bit like playing Russian roulette.
- The Multi-Op DJs are easy to spot as they are the ‘Bridal Industry Award Winning Most Trusted Team’ types. Very similar to the Agency DJ but they focus on tricking you into believing they are the best because they have the most number of Bridal Industry Awards. The part time DJ that works for them has little experience, it’s just their ‘side hustle’. Something thing they do on the weekends. They are generally the most expensive, better marketers focused on their business and making money than your wedding.
- The Professional DJ is easy to spot. They have a website, not just a Facebook page. They have an email address that is NOT a generic bigpond, gmail or hotmail outlook account. They are in the wedding entertainment business full time and they give you the best VALUE. They are serious about exceeding your expectations because their livelihood depends on it! They also offer a 100% Money Back Guarantee, if you are not happy with what they do and delivering you the BEST WEDDING DAY EVER, you’ll get your money back. Not the cheapest or the dearest, see the Multi Op DJ for that title, but the best VALUE! You know they’ll always ‘turn up’ for your wedding and give you 100% because their reputation and livelihood depends on it.
- Finally the ‘Hobbiest’. They are practicing aspiring DJs; you do not want them practising at your wedding. Weddings are a ‘side hussle’ and a way of making a few hundred bucks on the weekend, a few drinks and getting social. All too often they cancel at the last minute because someone else offered them more money to do their wedding. So as you can see there are a few problems with the way they approach a wedding.
