When it's time to plan your wedding, don't forget the importance of good music! The right tunes can add a special element to highlight your romantic union, which is why as many as 70% of couples reported hiring a professional wedding DJ in 2022, according to the online wedding resource The Knot. Here are some excellent reasons to include a DJ in your wedding budget.

Personalized Playlists

Maybe you and your spouse are energetic people who symbolize the vibrancy of rock or hip-hop. On the other hand, maybe you're both deep thinkers who relate to the heavy messages of 60s and 70s soul music. You both could also be spiritual, laid-back people who could easily vibe with beautiful world music sounds at your wedding. Whatever your personality, a great DJ can match it with the appropriate tunes!

Favorite Songs

Do you have a favorite song you must dance to at your wedding? Whether you have one song or several, your DJ can keep them playing all night. If you have a favorite artist in common with your spouse, why not devote the majority of your wedding listening to music by them?

Special Requests

Maybe you want to surprise your significant other with a song request that’ll bring you back to a special time in your relationship. Do you remember the song that was playing when you went on your first date? Was there a song playing during the proposal? Are you two high school sweethearts who danced to the same music at your prom? Your DJ can take any of these requests to make your evening even more special!

Important Announcements

Remember, your DJ isn't just there to play music! If anybody wants to give a shout-out and make a toast or you want a personalized introduction to a special song, the DJ can help with those announcements. In addition to announcing the story behind any specially requested music, they can also act as an MC.

As they say, music is the universal language of love. That's why you should have the right person in charge of the music at your wedding. You not only want to set the stage for your special dance, but will also want to keep the energy going throughout the night.
