Most people down under in Australia wonder whether they should hire wedding DJs in Melbourne or make their own playlist. Both scenarios have obvious benefits and everyone has got their own opinions. You don’t want to be stressed by other people’s opinions since you already have a lot on your plate when it comes to planning your wedding. I will help you make the right decisions by explaining the cons and pros of both scenarios.

Hiring a DJ

When hiring a DJ in Australia, there are some important things you need to remember: there are two main types of DJs. There are DJs that perform at clubs and those that perform at weddings. All these types of DJs are all about entertaining people. However, DJs who are specialised in weddings are more about hosting your wedding than making people dance.

For either type of top DJs you choose, it is crucial to make a list of must-play songs and songs that you don’t want to be played. You shouldn’t make either list to be too long. If you give a huge list of songs that must be played at your wedding, you must as well make your own music selection.

Making your own playlist

Making your own playlist can be as fun as hiring a DJ. However, it will take more time to prepare. You need to make several playlists and you need to make it before the ceremony. You need a playlist for the processional, first dance, cocktails and reception. You should separate each into different playlists so that you do not spoil your first song at the end of the cocktail hour.

Why hire a DJ

While a playlist allows you to choose the songs you want to be played at the wedding, you won’t have time to customise it as wedding DJs in Melbourne in Australia would do.
