Wedding dj worry

No experience of this, but I'm sorry it's worrying you so much. Have you been able to speak to him directly to express your concerns? Also, can you find any online reviews which might tell you what others thought of his work?

We are in the same position, but I've decided that we will provide the list of songs we like (which are closer to what he'd probably usually play) and then just ignore whatever else is played. We can only control so much, and I'm not going to let myself get worked up over it.

Hi. I would suggest contacting your DJ and giving your taste in music over. I am saying this because our band and DJ have said they know what works for weddings etc but will always take into account what we like aswell so it gets a happy balance for everyone. I do not like that you have to use their DJ it seems unfair I thought they could only suggest and the rest was up to you. Don’t let it worry you though as you say you’ve got a particular taste but other people like a dance aswell to your usual party/wedding classics.

View quoted message Thank you for this i will definitely be contacting him in advance to go through the choice or music and songs we would like him to play. I can only hope for the best

View quoted message My wedding is not til 2025 so im looking to get in touch with him at least 1 year prior. He doesnt have many videos of his work online and if he does than it's just the type of music that i would not want

View quoted message Guess i will have to do the same. Hoping for the best for us both on our day 😅

It seems odd you’re forced to use a particular DJ. I can understand a venue having a preference or some have even included it in the package, but I’m amazed they force a particular DJ on you. I will say when we were looking for DJs, not many of them had videos like a band would, so it may have to be going with your gut on this one.


I met our venues preferred DJ at a wedding fayre shortly after we booked the venue, and it was almost an instant no. He wasn’t my cup of tea at all, very much he knew what he wanted to do so it was his way was the only way kind of feel. Glad we looked round, got a great company in, instead, who listened to what we were after and are much more happy to go with a more relaxed set.
