Oklahoma Wedding DJ For Hire

By Deanne Shepard


The details of your big day are wrapped up but there is one more detail to take care of. Finding a reputable and quality Oklahoma wedding DJ is the last thing on your list and you are fixed on finding the best professional at a quality price. The tips and suggestions that follow will help you on your quest.

The lighting you choose is extremely important. What you decide on will greatly depend on the main theme and decor of the your reception. If you are having a very quiet, subdued affair, overly large and bright lights and flash will not look right. On the flip side, if you are expecting a large, young crowd, the more lighting and special effects the better. Remember, the more you use, the more it is going to cost.

How you have this professional set up his work area can make all the difference. If you have a very small reception and the business you book sets up a huge, flashy area, it will look rather ridiculous. If you have a huge reception and the set up takes very little space next to a humongous dance floor, it will look just as bad. Seek out the type of arrangement that fits the scope of your event. Always request photos of their equipment and adjust from there. You can also peruse their website for more set up ideas.

The song selections for the reception are also very important. Most companies will allow the happy couple to select their songs ahead of time especially for special dances such as the first dance or the dances with the parents. Let the company or individual know if they should honor requests from guests also. If children are involved, including some fun and interactive songs just for them will help brighten the party even more.

A true professional can assist with the reception in so many ways. Introducing the new couple, holding dance competitions, and playing special songs for special guests are just a few of the extras that they can provide. They are very helpful in making announcements about dinner service, cake cuttings and the departure of the newly married couple. They can also announce the toasts that congratulate the couple and can provide a microphone for family and guest speakers.

Some companies will even have special entertainment available. They may have individuals who can perform dance routines to the music and magicians who do tricks to the tunes. Some professionals even know how to dance and sing. Whether this is a necessary part of the evening is up to the bridal couple and their budget.

The cost of the entertainment is also a consideration. The more tasks and equipment this professional is required to provide, the more expensive his services will be. Remember though, that this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and it can be well worth the extra monetary outlay. Costs should still be compared among several options and it should still be a main consideration when selecting the entertainment.

If you hire to right company to take care of your entertainment needs, it will be the highlight of the evening. Select the right one that matches the personality types of your guests and the overall theme of the event. The right blend of music, entertainment, and guest participation will give you a reception that will be remembered for many years.
