"I am often booked 6 months to a year in advance of my couples wedding date but I welcome last minute bookings" DJ Ram-Z
This wedding blog is to encourage brides and grooms to book their Austin wedding DJ early and to guide you on booking all your wedding vendors earlier rather than later. First and foremost you will book your wedding planner or venue. There is no reason to reach out to other professional Austin wedding vendors till you have booked your wedding planner and or wedding venue.
After booking your venue you can move on to other wedding professionals and start to build your wedding dream team. I would argue that your Austin wedding DJ is one of the most if not the most important wedding vendor you will hire. Why? Because they are the background maestro to your entire event. Let's put it like this, they have the microphone thus that is a lot of power to make or break an event. Also, catering, bakery and florist can work multiple events on the same day. But a wedding DJ will only work one wedding per day. So, with that being said, I'd like to list the ten reasons why you should book your wedding DJ early!
My top ten reasons why you should book your Austin wedding DJ early. Booking early means:
Your Austin wedding DJ gets a chance to get to know your couple vibe and music taste
You have the option to book said DJ for your wedding rehearsal as well
It gives the Austin wedding DJ time to get the music you requested
You still have enough money in your budget to get the Austin wedding DJ you want
It gives your Austin wedding DJ enough time to make song edits and set changes
You have all the wedding DJ options at your finger tips
It will give the Austin wedding DJ time to connect with your planner or Day-of-Coordinator
The best Austin wedding DJ's are booked early, 6 to 12 months before the date
Inflation is a real thing and the sooner you book U7 Austin DJ, the more you'll save
And, last but not least, the sooner the better which means less stress in the end!
Let's dig a little deeper on the subject of professional Austin wedding vendors!
 Your Austin wedding DJ  gets a chance to get to know your couple vibe and music taste. Why is this important? Because when you don't know your clients personality it's hard to get a feel for people as an individual and what their vibe is as a couple. The more time we have to talk and get to know one another the more I can understand your musical tastes and your vision of the perfect dance party.
You have the option to book said DJ for your wedding rehearsal as well. Clients that book me early have the option of booking me for their dinner rehearsal as well because I most likely wont be booked yet. I highly recommend booking your Austin wedding DJ for your wedding rehearsal to make sure your wedding night runs smooth and everyone is on the same page. You can also book a mini dance party for your wedding party and VIP guests after the rehearsal dinner as well.
It gives the Austin wedding DJÂ time to get the music you requested. It takes time to curate your music sets and find your songs. Wedding DJ's need time to search for your music and create different sets for the different parts of the wedding day from prelude to the last dance. When it comes to music, a wedding DJ needs time to curate your wedding dream playlists and make your wedding music part of your favorite wedding memories.
You still have enough money in your budget to get the Austin wedding DJÂ you want. Weddings are expensive, need a say more! If music and entertainment is important to you and your partner then you should book those artist first. I highly recommend talking it over with one another and deciding what the top three vendors are for your wedding day! Example, for my wife and I, it would be the following: 1. Music & Entertainment 2. Food & Drinks 3. Photography & Videography What are your thee most important must haves at your wedding?
It gives your Austin wedding DJÂ enough time to make song edits and set changes. I often edit songs to a shorter version of the song, so my shy couples don't have to slow dance for the entire song in front of their family and friends. For some people that is embarrassing. And, while every couple wants the pictures of them dancing together, most want me to help them out by editing songs for their slow dances. As an Austin wedding DJ, trust me when I say that I need time to make mixes and edit songs for your wedding day dance party.
You have all the options as your finger tips. When you book early you have the option to book the cream of the crop and will not have to settle for second or third best! Picture this: you and your partner have found an Austin wedding DJ whose style speaks to your hearts, and said wedding DJ's availability is as scarce as a unicorn in downtown Austin. This is where early booking comes to the wedding planner rescue! Booking your wedding DJ ahead of the crowd means you’ll have a world of options at your fingertips with said wedding DJ's schedule actually being open. It gives you an upper hand to explore various professionals, compare services, and ultimately make choices that align with your wedding budget and style. No last minute compromises are necessary when you book your wedding DJ early!
It will give your Austin wedding DJÂ time to connect with your planner or Day-of-Coordinator. As a local Austin wedding DJ, I have to tell you, having the time to connect with your planner or your wedding team of planners really helps make the day of the wedding run smoothly. Especially if said Austin wedding DJ has never worked with that person(s) before.
The best Austin wedding DJ's are the first to get booked, 6 to 12 months before the date. This a fact in the Austin wedding industry. If you want the best of the best you have to book your wedding vendors early. Every year there are about 10-15 Saturdays that are HOT dates for that year and I always get booked for those wedding hot dates about 8 months to 18 months in advance. As a wedding DJ, I highly recommend booking not just your DJ early but all your vendors that can only work one wedding per day.
Inflation is a real thing and the sooner you book U7 Austin DJ, the more you'll save. I'm going to let you in on a little not so well known wedding industry secret. Most of us, wedding vendors, will up our prices at the end of the year. So if you have a wedding next year, this is indeed the right year you should reserve your date and pay your deposit. Book a year ahead of your wedding date means if you save money... FACT!
And, last but not least, the sooner - the better which means, less stress in the end! Planning a wedding is really stressful, especially if you are planning your own wedding. YIKES! It comes with great memories and it's a wonderful chance to get to know your partner better but it also comes with fears, tears, disappointment, reality checks and sometimes fighting with your fiancé, yup that's normal but you can avoid the wedding planning panic when you book your wedding vendors early and you communicate with each other!
In conclusion, I hope. that this wedding blog has convinced you and your partner to take the booking part of your wedding dream team seriously and as soon as you two have found the professional Austin wedding DJ of your dreams, throw down your deposit and reserve that Austin wedding DJ, ASAP! Avoid the wedding planning waves that can drop you on your ass during the planning stages and enjoy your engagement! This goes without being said but this is also the case for all the wedding vendors you will book for your big day. While you might be overwhelmed with the amount of vendors you find, you will also find that the best of the best in the wedding industry in Austin Texas are booked early. So do yourself a favor and don't wait until the last minute to book the perfect Austin wedding DJ.
