How soon for booking the DJ?

So looking my list of big items to be checked off... I'm debating if DJ should be taken care of soon. We're 13 months away but we don't want to leave it to the last moment to book one. Our budget is tight for a DJ and Jeff Hill from what I've read on other posts, fits it. But to refresh my choice.. who has used him or is going to use him... what do you think of him as your wedding DJ?

TIA!!

    i have no advice about jeff hill, but if you find someone you like, in your price range, that you click with, then book that person. you dont want to wait until the last minute then not be able to find someone!! good luck!

    A lot of vendors won't take bookings more than a year out. We booked our DJ in January for a September wedding and they were still free, but they're not full-time wedding DJs. They're also low-price enough that you might want to look into their company.

    You don't have to book this early, but earlier is better and if you find someone, book 'em.  A lot of girls on here have used or are using Jeff Hill, including Jenlin and Sarack.  We met with him, but chose someone else.  Whoever you chose, make sure you meet them in person first b/c especially with the DJ I think personality is important.

    I think you if you know that is who you want to book, do it asap.  I couldn't decide dj or band and when I finally chose band - they were booked!   I am using Jeff Hill.  He is really nice and we clicked really well...AND he's very reasonably priced.
