When Should You Book Your Wedding DJ?

So, you're having a wedding, eh? Congrats! Now the fun starts, you get to plan everything from DJ to photographer to cake, and everything else. Since this probably isn't the 100th time you've planned a wedding, you might have some questions about things like how many tables you'll need, what color chargers to go with, and when to book your wedding DJ, caterer, florist, etc. We may not be able to help you with the rest, but we can sure help you with the when to book your wedding DJ.

The first thing to consider is how important the DJ is to you. With all things wedding-related, you've got to order things by importance. For example, are your table settings more important than the energy on the dance floor? Is having a photo booth more important than hiring a better DJ? Are more expensive table linens worth having less budget available for a lesser quality, or less experienced DJ? You've got to decide for yourself, but if you care at all about having a good time with your guests and having you memories be of a killer reception that was tons of fun, you'll put your DJ high on that list of important things.

We're going to assume that you care about having a good time at the wedding and making sure things go perfectly while you and your guests dance and celebrate all night. For this, you're going to want to shoot for a better DJ, one with the experience, the talent, and most importantly, one that understands exactly how to give you what you want while making sure everyone at the wedding (not just you) are having a great time. In order to do this, you're going to have to book early.

In short, you should be looking for your DJ as soon as you secure your date with your venue. The good DJs get booked up pretty quick (depending on your market) for certain popular dates. Once your DJ is booked, you can go about booking lot's of other stuff knowing that you've got the important things down, venue, dj, photography, etc. The good wedding DJs in Maryland get booked 10 months to 16 months in advance, and for popular dates are typically booked at least a year ahead. In other markets, things might be different but it will always be true that the good ones go fast.
