Compatibility
A great DJ for your Buffalo, NY wedding will get to know you well enough to predict the kinds of music you'll want to hear. One size does not fit all, so your DJ will work with you to make sure you hear the hits you love.

Professionalism
Excellent wedding DJs know when to communicate, when to let you know about their needs, and when to reach out to you about your needs.

Communication isn't the only aspect of professionalism either: being well-dressed for the occasion, having a smooth and easy demeanor on the microphone, and conducting set-up and tear-down quickly and easily all help convey an attitude of professionalism.
Experience

The Quality of DJ Equipment

Get a price that is fair, not quality that is fair.
