The DJ can turn your wedding into an unforgettable party — or an evening with an empty dancefloor. After 25 years of weddings in Ticino, here are the 6 checks I recommend every couple make before signing.
1. Real experience, not just a playlist
A wedding is not a club night: there are grandparents, children, friends and colleagues. You need a DJ who can read the floor and move from a slow dance to 80s/90s revival without losing anyone. Always ask how many weddings they have done, not just how many club nights.
2. Own equipment and a plan B
A professional arrives with their own sound and lighting rig, wireless microphones for speeches and ceremony, and a backup plan in case of failure. If the venue has to rent the equipment separately, the final cost rises and responsibility gets fragmented.
3. A proper briefing and a tailor-made playlist
Be wary of anyone who asks you nothing. A good DJ wants to know: your favourite songs, the genres to avoid, the key moments (entrance, first dance, cake cutting) and the profile of your guests. The playlist is built together, weeks in advance.
4. A clear, written quote
The quote should state hours of service, equipment included, travel and any extras such as cold sparks or karaoke. At DJ Magix prices start from CHF 150, and the quote is always free and non-binding.
5. Reviews and videos of real events
Photos and videos of real weddings are worth more than a thousand words. Check the DJ's social channels, ask for references and make sure the reviews talk about weddings, not just nightclub nights.
6. The right chemistry
The DJ will be the voice of your wedding: they must understand you instantly and put you at ease. If the connection doesn't spark at the first meeting — even just a phone call — keep looking. Want to talk it over? Message me on WhatsApp: I reply personally.
