Uncovering a Reliable Wedding DJ within Cincinnati by Trevor Price
Are you still looking for the perfect Cincinnati wedding DJ? Well, read on for four hot tips you can use to track down a DJ company that’s reliable and reasonably priced.
Attend a Bridal Show
You can find a whole conference center full of wedding DJ’s (and photographers, caterers, dressmakers and more) at three of the Cincinnati area’s top bridal exhibitions – the Dayton Bridal Expo, the Cincinnati Bridal Expo and the annual Veils and Cocktails event at The Madison.
The Cincinnati Bridal Expo is typically held at The Manor House Convention Center, while the Dayton Bridal Expo is held at the Dayton Convention Center and is probably the largest in the state. Veils and Cocktails at The Madison is an annual event that combines hors d’oeuvre and cocktails with the opportunity to meet 50 of the city’s finest wedding vendors.
While a bridal show can be overwhelming, it’s also the perfect opportunity to meet multiple, prospective Cincinnati wedding DJ companies in person and not only obtain a quote, but also get a feel for their personality. Remember, the DJ sets the tone for the entire evening and also takes on some MC duties, so you want someone who meshes with your own personality.
Check Local Forums
Try checking local message boards or online forums and asking for referrals and recommendations. You can try the forums at Cincinnati Magazine or look into a wedding-focused site like The Knot (theknot.com), which has a special forum section for the Tri-State area.
Remember, word-of-mouth advice can often be trusted and is typically a reliable way to find a great service provider for an even better price.
Avoid Companies That Do Everything
Take a long, hard look at those companies that claim to be able to do everything from photography and videography to DJ services and even invitation design. Do their marketing materials look “nice?” Do they actually convey a strong level of professionalism? Instead of putting all your money with a “factory” company, look for some that DJ’s and does it well. Remember, DJ’ing a wedding is a skill that goes well beyond knowing how to work the sound board.
Ask Your Venue or Photographer
If a venue or photographer is good, they’re going to be working a wedding every weekend. That means they’ll be meeting and evaluating quite a few Cincinnati wedding DJ companies week after week, making them a great resource for referrals and recommendations. For an honest and sincere answer, ask who they’d hire for their own wedding.
