The three biggest errors often made during the wedding planning process are:

  • Shop by price not quality or worth.
  • “One Size Fits” All Package or Pricing
  • Not effectively communicating with your wedding professional.

Selecting a Wedding Reception MC and Entertainment by Price and Not By Worth

A common mistake often made when choosing wedding reception entertainment is selecting the most affordable Pittsburgh DJ. Having your friends and family leave early due to poor entertainment is a huge disappointment for you and your fiancée. When you hire high quality wedding professional, they will help you arrange a reception that keeps guests actively involved and have FUN. The lowest priced craigslist DJ will have your guests searching for the graceful exit.

A Wedding DJ is doing more than just playing music, they are also your ‘Master of Ceremonies / Emcee’.  Your entertainer is accountable for coordinating the timeline, managing the opening and flow of proceedings, working with other professionals, understanding the crowd and making sure the correct song is played at the right time. Your entertainer will also help you work out your wedding reception music in advance, to make certain the correct songs are selected in order and the reception runs efficiently.

 Assuming that Entertainment Has a “One Size Fits” All Package or Pricing

A subsequent misconception is that entertainment is a “one size fits all” in terms of packages and costs. Most wedding reception entertainers have various pricing structures and can range anywhere from 900 to 6000 dollars per wedding. Entertainers should have pricing structures that meet all the needs of their clients, that are a good fit for both the entertainer and the newlyweds. The best wedding DJ will not be the most affordable Pittsburgh DJ

 How to Communicate With Your Entertainment Company

Having an open flow of communication with your entertainment company is important in having a successful wedding reception. If your event is lacking communication, you are not going to have the wedding you were planning and expecting. When people hire a Professional wedding entertainer, they automatically assume everything will fall into line.  This is unlikely, if the lines of communication are unclear or not timely.  Again is fair to say:  the best wedding DJ for you, may not be the most affordable Pittsburgh DJ
