How to Book Your Wedding DJ with High Water Mark DJs: A Step-by-Step Guide
Planning your wedding is an exciting journey, and choosing the right DJ is essential to ensuring your special day has the perfect soundtrack. At High Water Mark DJs, we make the booking process easy, streamlined, and tailored to your vision. Here’s what you can expect when booking your wedding DJ with us:
Step 1: Initial Consultation – Let’s Talk Vision!
The first step in booking with us is a phone call with me, Rashad. This is where we get the ball rolling and begin connecting over your wedding plans. It's not just about the details; it’s a chance for us to understand your vision and determine if we’re the perfect fit for your celebration. We’ll discuss everything from the mood you want to set with the music to any unique ideas you might have, but most importantly, it’s a “feel-out” process to see if we’re on the same wavelength.
Step 2: Review and Accept the Proposal
If everything feels right after our call, I’ll send over a proposal—sometimes even during our conversation, but always shortly afterward. This document includes all the key details for your big day, and when you’re ready to move forward, simply accept the proposal. Once accepted, this locks in your date, prompts a contract for you to sign, and requires a deposit to officially reserve your DJ.
Step 3: Access to Our Comprehensive Planning Form
Once the contract is signed and deposit paid, you’ll receive an automated email granting you access to our online planning form. This is where the real magic happens! Our comprehensive questionnaire allows you to provide all the key details about your wedding, from the ceremony songs to special dances like the anniversary or money dance. You’ll even be able to link to specific songs and share all the musical details that matter most to you.
This form is designed to give you complete creative freedom, allowing you to craft your wedding day soundtrack exactly as you envision it. Many couples even find inspiration for moments they hadn’t previously considered, thanks to the depth and flexibility of our form.
Step 4: Planning the Final Details (6-4 Weeks Before the Wedding)
As your wedding day draws near, typically 6 to 4 weeks out, we’ll schedule another phone call or Zoom meeting. This is where the rubber meets the road! We’ll go over every detail, from song selections and timing to specific announcements you want your DJ to make. We’ll also confirm the event timeline, discuss any last-minute changes, and address any concerns you might have.
Your DJ will leave this meeting with a clear understanding of your vision and will use the following weeks to make sure everything runs seamlessly on the big day. This includes ensuring all song versions are downloaded, the timeline is set, and equipment is ready to go.
Step 5: The Final Countdown – 1 Week Before the Wedding
With just one week to go, the final payment is due. This payment must be made in full at this time to ensure everything is in place for your event. Meanwhile, your DJ will be doing a final check on everything—from ensuring travel plans are set to triple-checking that all the equipment is in perfect working order.
Step 6: Your Big Day – Music Made Perfect
With everything planned and in place, you can rest assured that High Water Mark DJs will create a flawless musical experience for your wedding day. From the first note of your ceremony to the last dance at your reception, we’ll make sure your wedding is as magical as you’ve dreamed.
Booking your DJ with High Water Mark DJs is simple, fun, and completely focused on your unique vision. We are here every step of the way to ensure your wedding day is perfect. Ready to get started? Let’s chat about how we can make your wedding unforgettable!
