Equipment is vital. Ask how old is it? Has it ever broken down? Was it purchased second hand? Is it PAT tested? Have a look at it before you hire, it may be bulky and tasteless, the lights may look like they came off the set of a 70's dance movie; if they do you want to find out before your wedding day not on it.
Let me put it to you this way would you even consider hiring your wedding car, or photographer, or wedding venue, or buying your wedding dress or outfit without seeing them first? Probably not, but It astonishes me how many couples book a wedding DJ from an advert or online without so much as meeting their DJ before their wedding reception. And then get a very disappointing shock on the day when they see and hear their wedding DJ. Remember, failure to plan is planning to fail.
A good quality, industry standard DJ rig will be worth upwards of £5,500. This type of set-up will not embarrass you on the day and will look chic and will dovetail nicely into the surroundings of a good quality wedding venue. A professional entertainer will regularly update his sound and light equipment to ensure his look is contemporary and his sound is clean and rich.
A low budget DJ will not come with backup equipment, so if an amp blows you will be in silence for your wedding reception. A good quality wedding DJ will use active speakers instead of passive. This means he will have two amplifiers as standard reducing the risk of no music. He will also have a laptop/MacBook and tiny MP3 player to ensure consistent music in the event of equipment failure; in fact a professional wedding DJ will be so smooth in the event of a failure you may not even know.
