A Reddit thread highlighted situations in which something went wrong at a wedding. A few stood out, because they could’ve avoided the snafu had they gone with Columbus Pro DJs, a professional DJ company.
One person wrote:
“We didn’t do a testing of the sound system so when the MC (a friend) went to introduce us the sound system didn’t work.”
Why wouldn’t this happen with us? Because we use professional, high-end equipment, which we test before each event. Even more, we provide back up equipment and DJs in the unlikely event they’re ever needed.
Problem solved.

“The band played the wrong song for my father daughter dance. They also forgot to announce things like cake cutting, late night snack, and last call at the bar.”
Although we’re all human, we provide planning tools to ensure that we are totally in synch with the couples with whom we work.
We love a good band as much as the next person, but many bands excel in the music department, less so in the emcee department. Our DJs are consummate professionals in all areas.
Our planning forms and checklists minimize, if not eliminate, the clunky mistake described above. We typically act as a quarterback at your reception, coordinating with your other vendors so everyone is on the same page when it’s time for announcements. And we know how to make announcements with flair.
Another person talked about the type of reception that sadly occurs too often, one where a friend of the couple plays his playlist off of his phone. He might bring his own speakers, or even try to tap into the house system.
What could go wrong?
For starters, he may not know what he’s doing. So he might have trouble making connections and balancing the sound.
The downside of this type of situation goes beyond the technical. The friend isn’t a professional. He’s likely to play music HE likes … or maybe music you AND he likes, but at the expense of a broader range of tunes that’ll appeal to a wider swath of your guests.
That’s why we curate our lists in close collaboration with you. We start with your style and personality. Then we build on it with music that we KNOW works with all ages based on the rich experience we’ve cultivated working hundreds and hundreds of weddings over the years.
But we need to back up a minute to emphasize an important technical consideration: balance. Columbus Pro DJs provides high-end, professional equipment with incredible microphones and finely calibrated volume control. Guests can converse while the dance floor rocks.
If you seek this kind of peace of mind for your upcoming wedding celebration, perhaps you should consider a professional DJ company: us. The first step? Simply check out our availability.
