The 5 Biggest Chicago Wedding DJ Myths
Myth #1 The DJ Will Talk Too Much
First of all, the DJ is your spokesperson at your wedding.
Because you want them to say what is appropriate. You don’t want them saying the same things they say all the time. You want them to sound natural, and sincere, with the appropriate enthusiasm.
As a result your guests will actually want to listen to what they have to say.
Myth #2 The DJ Will Play Cheesy Music
Another one of The 5 Biggest Chicago Wedding DJ Myths is about what the DJ plays.
One persons cheese is another persons party jam.
So, you should get to choose what music the DJ plays. Less than or more than is up to you. Hence, the need for you to have a way to let the DJ know what songs you want. Here’s a great way.

Myth #3 A DJ Will Save You Money
Some of the best DJ’s have a tremendous amount of skill, training, and thus ability. There is more to just being a good DJ. It takes 10,000 plus hours to master a skill. Due to training as an MC, being able to perform in front of large audiences. Rather than being egotistical, a DJ needs to have very warm people skills. Most of all, you need to feel comfortable with how they will represent you at your wedding celebration.
This level of expertise is worth paying more to get the right fit.
Myth #4 The DJ Won’t Take Requests
Taking requests is up to you. Furthermore, if we do take requests, it’s always with an eye on what you like (and don’t like).
Myth #5 It’s Easy To Be A DJ
As mentioned in #3 of The 5 Biggest Chicago Wedding DJ Myths it takes a lot to be good at what you do.
In addition, the level of entry is very low for the DJ industry. It’s not all about just pressing play.
Mixing skills, timing, time management, event planning skills, mic technique, audio knowledge. It takes more.
