You will certainly need to consider the experience of the wedding DJ. He / She may have plenty of experience on working in some parties. However, the DJ may not have the experience in doing the job in a wedding. The point here is that there are usually some etiquettes associated with weddings. And he / she should know when to play the right songs. Of course you will also discuss with him / her about the songs to be played. However, the DJ is the one who plays it and it will certainly be problem if the DJ does not have enough experiences. As a result, you should try to ask for some job references related to weddings when you are interviewing the DJ.
Another point is that, you may want to hire a DJ who has been working in your reception hall before. This is because he / she will be more familiar with the venue and he / she will perform better because he / she knows the venue.
If it is a new venue to the DJ, you may consider having a rehearsal with him or her. This will help to ensure that the DJ will understand the venue. Besides, due to the nature of the reception hall, the DJ may need to bring some other equipment. It will be very difficult for him / her to decide what kinds of equipment will be needed if there is no rehearsal before.
As mentioned, you will be discussing with the DJ what songs to be play in your wedding. You need to create a song list with him / her. This is the most important task you have to do. You have to make sure that all songs to be played are good enough and match the theme of your wedding. You may also need to specify if there are some songs you do not like. You will need to tell the DJ not to play these songs in this case.
If you can really do the above, it is sure that you will be able to give a very good entertainment to your guests!
