Questions to Ask Before Booking Your Montreal Wedding DJ

🇫🇷

Music shapes the energy of your wedding day. The right DJ can guide the flow of the evening, balance generations on the dance floor, and create unforgettable moments for you and your guests. Choosing a DJ can be challenging—you can’t “see” their work in the same way you can with a photographer or florist. If you’ve read our Just Engaged? A Guide to Montreal Wedding Planning, booking a DJ is the next step in curating your perfect celebration.

1. Style & Personality

  • How would you describe your style—high-energy, understated, or a mix?
  • Do you act as an MC throughout the evening?
  • How much do you speak during the reception?
  • Are you open to cultural or family traditions?

2. Experience & Venue Knowledge

  • Have you worked at our venue before?
  • Are you familiar with the room layout?
  • Where would you set up your equipment?
  • Can you coordinate with the venue’s sound limitations?

3. Reading the Room & Guest Engagement

  • How do you adjust if guests aren’t responding?
  • How do you transition smoothly between dinner and dancing?
  • How do you balance different generations on the dance floor?
  • Can we provide a must-play and do-not-play list?
  • How do you handle guest song requests?

4. Packages & Logistics

  • What is included in your package—sound, lighting, ceremony setup?
  • Do you provide a separate sound system for the ceremony?
  • Do you bring backup equipment?
  • What is your attire for the event?

5. Reputation & References

  • Check Google reviews and ask around—word-of-mouth is key for DJs.
  • Ask for references from couples who had a similar type of wedding or venue.

Conclusion

Your DJ does more than play music—they create the atmosphere and energy that your guests will remember. Asking these questions ensures you choose someone who aligns with your style, understands your venue, and can guide the evening seamlessly.
