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.

Ask Your Montreal Wedding DJ

- Do you act as an MC throughout the evening?

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?
