First, ask friends and relatives for references.
Hiring a dj for your wedding night can be an important decision. References from friends and relatives who have had great experiences will go a long way. -
Step 2
Next, look up dj's (specifically for weddings) in your area. Use the phone book, websites (see below for directory) to make a list of possible disc jockeys for your wedding.

Step 3
Call around and talk to the disc jockeys on your list.
Ask them about their experience, training, what equipment they have, and of course their rate. Make sure that you and your dj sync up on the type of music you want played at your wedding reception. -
Step 4
Ask for a song list. DJ's typically have at least 20,000 songs. Providing you a list of songs should be no problem.
