retrorainbow Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Hello everyone, I am in the middle of planning mine and my partner's wedding. We have the reception booked at the Royal Victoria and noticed that as part of their service they can provide a DJ. I haven't a first clue as to who is and isn't a good DJ in and around Sheffield. So I was wondering if anyone here had taken advantage of the DJ being provided here, and were they any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Rock Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I would advise you to ask to meet them in advance so you can discuss the music you want playing and get a feel of whether they will listen to you and work with you. Any decent DJ will ask for a list of songs that you want playing and will work out the timings with you. If you get a sixth sense that things won't be quite right then speak to the venue. It's so important that the DJ will play your music and that you can build a relationship with them so the night can be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 100% I had the venues own dj at my wedding (different place) and he was appalling - as "classic rock" will tell you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retired Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 They use a DJ company who have there own dj's. It may be a different dj one week to the other but the same dj Company. You could always try gate crashing a wedding and get you own opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Rock Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 But that won't work if it's going to be a different DJ from the night you gate crash. In that case ask the venue to contact the organiser of the DJs and get a specific DJ nominated to you. If they are unsuitable, ask for another. I suppose it's a bit like a job interview. You're paying for it after all..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
