How to Pick the Right DJ

  • Event Fit: Not all DJs handle weddings the same as school dances or corporate parties.
  • Music Know-How: Ask about playlists, genres, and whether they take requests.
  • Equipment: Quality speakers and microphones make a difference.
  • Crowd Control: Some DJs act like MCs, others just play the hits—know what you need.
  • Reliability: Communication and professionalism go a long way.

When Should You Book Your DJ?

One of the biggest mistakes event planners make is waiting too long to book key vendors—especially DJs. In East Texas, top DJs can be fully booked months in advance, especially during wedding season or around school events like proms and graduations.

If your event falls in spring or fall, it’s smart to start reaching out to DJs at least 6–9 months in advance. For smaller parties or off-season dates, you might have more flexibility—but it’s always better to lock in your date early.

Booking your DJ early also gives you time to:

  • Coordinate your music preferences and “do-not-play” lists
  • Plan around your event timeline (grand entrance, first dance, etc.)
  • Request specific gear or setup options
  • Combine DJ services with a CheesyPix photo booth for extra fun

Pair a DJ with a Photo Booth

Why stop with just music? Add a photo booth to keep guests laughing and sharing moments all night long. The right combo of entertainment leaves a lasting impression—and we can help make it happen across East Texas.
