You are about to learn these 10 amazing tips that will help you create a fantastic experience for your clients and increase your bookings!

1. Get to Know Your Client's Taste in Music.  

One of the best ways to ensure that you're providing a great experience for your client is to get to know their taste in music. This way, you can be sure to play the songs that they and their guests will enjoy most.

You can do this by meeting with the client in person or sending them a questionnaire ahead of time. The worst thing you can do is just assume what you think they'll want to hear.

Make sure you're taking the time to get to know your client's musical preferences so that you can give them exactly what they're looking for on their big day.

2. Come Prepared with a Setlist.  

While it's important to be able to read the crowd and play songs accordingly, it's also important to come prepared with a set list. This way, if the crowd isn't responding well to certain songs, you have others that you know will get them moving. 

Just as you will need to get to know the clients taste, you need to know the overall vibe they are hoping to create. If its a more formal atmosphere, then you need to make sure your setlist reflects that. On the other hand, if they are wanting a party atmosphere, your setlist should get everyone up and dancing.

3. Make Announcements Throughout the Night.  

Do. Not. Go. Overboard. With. This… I repeat, do not go overboard with this. We have all been to that wedding where the DJ just would not stop talking, and it got really annoying, really fast.

That being said, making announcements throughout the night is a great way to keep everyone informed of what's going on and to get them pumped up for the next event.

You want to keep the mood or set the mood throughout the night with your announcements. For example, if its time for the couple's first dance, you want to make sure everyone knows and gets out of their seats to watch and maybe even join in.

If it is time for speeches, you want to make sure to let everyone know so they can be prepared and find a seat if necessary.

The key here is to be concise, clear, and upbeat!

4. Be Responsive to Requests.  

While you may have put together an amazing set list, it's important to be responsive to requests from both the client and their guests.

This shows that you're flexible and willing to adapt, which will help create a more enjoyable experience for everyone involved. 

Remember, you don't want to just put on a good show for your clients, you want to ensure their guests are left with a great impression as well.

So, if a guest comes up to you and requests a song, try your best to play it! It will mean a lot to them and show that you're attentive to their needs.

5. Take Breaks Between Sets.  

If you're playing for an extended period of time, be sure to take breaks between sets so that you don't wear yourself out too much. This will ensure that you're able to maintain a high level of energy throughout the night and keep the party going strong until the end. 

6. Make Sure Your Equipment is in Good Condition.  

Nothing kills a party faster than technical difficulties, so before each event, be sure to check that all of your equipment is in good working condition. This includes everything from your speakers and mixers to your headphones and USBs. 

7. Dress Appropriately for Each Event.  

While it's important to look professional at all times, it's especially important when you're serving as a wedding DJ. Be sure to dress appropriately for each event so that you fit in with the theme and tone of the evening.

This will not only help create a more enjoyable experience for everyone involved, but it will also help you stay more engaged and focused throughout the night.

10. Follow Up With Your Clients After The Event.
