What to Ask Your Venue Before Booking a DJ
Before finalizing your venue, make sure to ask these DJ-specific questions to avoid surprises on your wedding day:
- Is there a dedicated power source for DJ equipment (20-amp dedicated circuit)?
- Are there noise curfews or decibel limits?
- Is there a required vendor load-in time, and how much setup time is allocated?
- Does the venue require vendors to carry liability insurance?
- Is there a restricted vendor list, or can you bring your own DJ?
