Choosing the right DJ for your reception involves more than a great voice and personality. So many other things go into making a DJ qualified to provide service for your Wedding. A good well rounded DJ in addition to a great voice and personality should also have the following skills, tools, and knowledge.
1. Master of Ceremonies - The ability to announce and coordinate events. Good timing is also essential.
2. Party organizer - The ability to carry out Traditional and other events in a timely and effective fashion during the event.
3. Sound technician - The ability to create good clean sound and have basic knowledge of Equalization, Crossfades, and Talkover. Must also have ability to correct any sound problems.

5. Read the crowd and pick the right music - Ability to sense the mood and determine the age, culture, and tastes of the crowd. The music played should reflect this. A good DJ will know to mix it up with music styles for diverse groups that you will see at most weddings.
