For a wedding reception in Nashville, you’ll want a mix of classic hits, contemporary favorites, and some local flavor to keep everyone dancing.
According to Derek Hughes of Onyx Entertainment,
“A few things to HIGHLY consider when shopping for the perfect DJ company:
1. If the company does not respond in a timely manner with proper grammar, don’t trust them with the important details of your big day!
2. A DJ company should have an organized process of how they obtain all the crucial song choices, names to announce, and other important details about your wedding.
3. Make sure the DJ company is willing to play all the songs you want. If they try to come with their own music playlist or act strange about you requesting songs, it may not be a good fit. You should have full control of the music selection for your big day if you want it!
4. Make sure to give the DJ your wide variety of music styles so he can read the room and play what’s working in the crowd at any given moment!
