Consider all the best parties you’ve attended over the years. They’re likely pretty different from each other –- menus, party favors, and decor vary drastically from a corporate event to a birthday party. The one thing all these memorable events have in common? Great music!
No matter what atmosphere you’re hoping to achieve at your next party, you’re going to want to find the right wedding DJ for the job. Thankfully, our team at Complete Weddings + Events Minneapolis makes it easy to narrow the field and choose the ideal disc jockey for your needs.
With a million decisions to make for your event, it might be tempting to search for an event or wedding DJ and hire the first one you can find. The downside? Not every DJ entertainer is appropriate for every kind of event. At Complete Weddings + Events Minneapolis, we know the value of planning ahead. It’s why we work hard to provide the kind of seamless service we’d want for our events – easy, detailed, and of course, fun!
Finding a DJ that’s right for your event should be exciting. As an award-winning DJ service in Minneapolis, MN, and nearby areas, we’re eager to connect you with one of our quality entertainers, ensuring you have a great time listening to music that fits the vibe of your special day.
As you prepare to make a decision on which DJ to hire, it’s worth considering a few important factors. For one, you’ll want to decide on the mood you’re hoping to create. A disc jockey without any instruction on what to play may opt to play their own personal favorites – which could be a good or bad thing, depending on your outlook!
Be sure to ask each candidate for their vision for the event and see how they handle your feedback. While you’re at it, consider posing each of these questions to prospective DJ hires:
Music has a way of setting the tone for an event. Walking into an event space feels very different when there is classical music playing versus rock or rap. Ask the DJ how they intend to create a mood with their playlist, sound, and light show, and how their vision for the atmosphere aligns with your own.
Disc jockeys often have complex backgrounds, working in the streets with up-and-coming musicians while also performing sets at local events and parties. Ask each DJ you meet with about their experience.
Whether you’re searching for someone to get folks dancing or provide emcee services for the party, it’s a good idea to ask about each candidate’s background.
Generally, guests request their favorite songs and tear up the dance floor all night while the DJ is playing music that keeps the energy high. Some DJs, however, prefer not to take song requests, especially if they’re working towards a specific goal or mood. If you feel strongly one way or another about song requests, be sure to ask your DJ about their policy.
It’s also worth creating a list of songs you need playing during the event, and any songs you don’t want to hear that day!
When sitting down to chat about options with a local DJ company, the person you meet with may not necessarily be the DJ who works your event. Clarify this before agreeing to work with anyone. Know who to expect, whether they’ll bring along an assistant, and if there is a safety net in place should the DJ drop out unexpectedly. If you have a specific vision for the attire of vendors working your event, be sure to ask about their uniform policy, too! Control for surprises whenever you can, and you’ll have a more relaxed experience on the day of your event.
Electrical outlets are in serious demand at parties, so it’s a good idea to ask about the needs of the DJ while you’re still in the planning phases. A DJ should be able to give you an idea of how much space their equipment will take up, how long set up and breakdown will take, and what support staff they’ll have on-site to help out.
Of course, our services don’t stop there. Our team at Complete Weddings + Events can also help you find the best photographer and videographer for your party, or rent a photo booth for your guests to enjoy. When it comes to creating memorable events, Complete Weddings + Events has you covered!

“Greg DJ Azzy Larson was a great DJ and played fantastic music all night long. He really got the guests out onto the dance floor and played all of our favorite songs as requested! He was very attentive to our needs the day of and even went so far as to custom make a playlist of piano covers of my favorite band to play while the guests were filtering in for the ceremony, just because he knew we’d like that! Thank you so much for a great night!” – Zach S.
“We booked our DJ & Photographer through Complete and we couldn’t have been more pleased with our their services went throughout our special wedding day. They were easy to work with and so amazing at working together to make it the most perfect day.” – Serennah J.
“Marielle was our DJ and she was amazing! She was super accommodating and helpful with all the questions I had, and she had great suggestions when I wasn’t sure what to do for music. She kept checking in on us to make sure everything was running smoothly, and she kept the dance floor filled! Cheyenne was our photo booth operator, and every time I looked over at the photo booth, there was someone taking pictures! Everyone seemed to enjoy having the photo booth there with the fun props.” – Erin D.
