   I think personality and cheese factor. You want to make sure they fit with their style. I have been to wedding where the DJ played music that wasnt my style and talked and sang through the wedding. I wouldnt want this from my DJ so i would at least want to meet with them and check them out and make sure they fit with me…

   I actually never met with any DJs. I contacted a couple for some information and pricing since they got good reviews on this board, and I hired the one who was more within our budget. We were not disappointed at all, but the DJ was admittedly not something we were horribly concerned about when planning our wedding…

   Please excuse me if this is a dumb question, but I'm clueless. FI and I are going to set up appointments to meet with DJs, but I'm really not sure what we're supposed to be discussing/asking in these meetings. We don't want any giveaways, or video screens, or lighting, etc... We just want someone to be there, play music,…

   I agree as well. Even though you already know what you want, you want to meet who you'll actually be dealing with the day of your wedding. You don't want any surprises. FI and I were looking for pretty much same as you, minimal announcements and to keep the party going. We didn't want a DJ who dances with the BM's, sings…

   We met with several DJ's and found it to be very beneficial. You want to get an idea of the type of music they normally play and personality fit. If you are looking for more of today's music and they mainly play 80' etc let them know that is not your style. You also want to make sure you find out what their attire is for…

   We met with 2 DJs and one salesperson totally sold us while the other one was more annoying and assumed that we would be booking their company because we met wtih them off a referral. So, I think a lot of it is personality, we watched a clip of our emcee at a wedding to see what he was like. When you meet with the…

   Did you go with Elite and if so who? We're just researching DJs now and I've heard good things about them. Were you happy? Thanks, Jen

   Personality? I went to a DJ showcase for Elite Entertainment based out of Eatontown and each emcee had a few minutes to showcase their abilities and we were able to make a decision. I've heard nothing but positive reviews on many of the elite emcees so you could probably check out one of their upcoming showcases-…

   Just play the music? Or play music and try to get your guests on the dance floor? Sometimes just music isn't the cheapest option. You want to make sure your personalities mesh and you actually like your DJ - not just some random person. They can show you some videos where they are getting the guests on the dance floor or…

    I'm just getting into the planning and meeting with a few vendors while I have time over the summer. Tackling the DJ now that we have a venue. A few other girls recommended Starry Night in Manhattan & Aria Melody in North Jersey so I'm starting there. Both sites seem to be very non-cheesy. Spoke with Jon from Aria Melody…
