The music at your wedding or event sets the tone for the entire celebration. Whether you want a lively dance party or a sophisticated, elegant atmosphere, our DJs are here to make it happen. At Complete Weddings + Events Northwest Arkansas, our DJs are more than just music mixers – they’re entertainers who ensure your guests have a great time from start to finish.
With a million decisions to make for your event, it might be tempting to dial up the first search result for DJs in Northwest Arkansas and hire them on the spot. The downside? Not every DJ is appropriate for every kind of event. If you’re hoping to plan a one-of-a-kind party with music catered to your theme and formality level, you’re going to want to find a special event DJ with experience. Your event is special, and we think the person you select to DJ the party should be special, too!
As you prepare to make a decision on which events 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. This can be especially true when hiring a corporate event DJ instead of a wedding DJ. Ask your local DJ how they intend to create a mood with their playlist, 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 – how many years have they been at it? Have they worked on your kind of event before? How confident are they in their ability to achieve your goals for the evening? 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.
Guests generally love the chance to request their favorite songs and tear up the dance floor. 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 to be played 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, 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.

“Our photographer did an amazing job with our wedding pictures! She made us feel so comfortable throughout alll the pictures. Our DJ was also amazing. When picking songs we were clueless and she gave us so many suggestions. Then at the wedding she made sure everything was going how we wanted. She would check in here and there which was amazing. She even went to get us drinks for our toast. She was not asked to do so and that little extra meant a lot to us. Hire COMPLETE weddings + events and your day will be carefree.” – Abigail S.
“Outstanding communication leading up to our wedding day AND on our big day. We live out-of-town, but the managers, DJ, and videographer all called and emailed us to check-in, answer questions, and learn more about what we envisioned for our wedding day. Everyone was super friendly and helpful! They are very organized, and their planning website is an excellent tool. Our DJ (Kellis) had incredible energy, kept our dance floor rockin’, and was super fun. He really listened to us and tailored his music selection to be perfect for us and our guests. Everyone loved him. His icebreaker “snowball” dance was so much fun and got EVERYONE out of their seats and on the dance floor. Our videographer (Will) was great to work with and called us ahead of time to talk about our day and what our ideas were for our video. He was constantly shooting and moving around to get good angles, etc. We can’t wait to see the final product. We would absolutely recommend Complete weddings + events to anyone!” – Jennifer R.
