Beyond the Wedding Playlist

What to Ask Your DJ Before You Say “I Do”

You’ve locked in the venue, confirmed your photographer, and now it’s time to find your wedding DJ. But not just any wedding DJ. You want someone who won’t just hit play on a Spotify playlist—they need to read the room, keep the energy alive, and make your big night unforgettable. Forget the generic “What’s your rate?” and “Do you take requests?” Here are five bold, questions you NEED to ask your wedding DJ before saying “I do”.

5 Questions for Your Wedding DJ

What’s Your Plan if the vibe calms?

Let’s be real. Even with the most epic playlist, there’s a chance the energy could flatline mid-reception. A pro DJ knows how to pivot with precision. Ask them how they handle a vibe crash. Do they switch genres? Break out a surprise slow jam to reset the crowd? Or do they just awkwardly fade into the next track? Let’s figure out their approach!

How do you read the room?

A great wedding DJ doesn’t just press play. They build a vibe—starting from cocktail hour and ending with an out-of-breath, feet-hurt-but-don’t-care finale. Ask how they structure the night musically. Do they gradually ramp up? Do they do dance set blocks? This is where the real pros separate themselves from the playlist pushers.

Can I see a playlist that fits my vibe?

A DJ’s 30-second hype video doesn’t show what happens between the bangers. Request to see a full set from a real wedding. You’ll see how they transition songs, manage the crowd, and handle moments when things don’t go as planned—because spoiler: surprises can sometimes arise. You want someone who can spin through the chaos.

What’s An Unexpected Song That Crushed on the Dance Floor?

This one’s a game-changer. Any DJ can say “Uptown Funk” gets people moving. But the great ones have stories—like the time “Bohemian Rhapsody” turned into a full-blown karaoke moment or “Cotton Eye Joe” got your buttoned-up cousin doing the worm. Their answer will reveal their creativity, adaptability, and ability to surprise and delight.

Do You Control the Evening—or Just Play the Music?

A true wedding DJ wears multiple hats: emcee, vibe curator, timeline enforcer, crowd psychologist. Ask how they help guide the flow of the evening. Do they coordinate with your planner? Do they make announcements with charisma, or do guests need to guess when dinner’s served? You want someone who commands the room—without stealing your spotlight.

Final Thoughts on the topic
