A DJ I respected plugged every piece of equipment into one circuit. He was going over-the-top, wanting to give the Bride and Groom the best experience possible. Then it happened. During the height of dancing, the lights and music turned off. He tripped the breaker. Too much was plugged-in.

This happened over and over again until I suggested he split the load between two circuits. I helped him do it and everything was fine from that point out.

This was early-on in my DJ career; I was also going to school for Electrical Engineering Technology. Ever since then, I always do my best to ensure a breaker doesn’t need reset at a wedding. No music is the quickest way to kill a dance floor :)

A can of Fix-A-Flat should be in every DJ’s vehicle. If pulling a trailer, do they have a nice jack w/ spare tires?Also, does your DJ know how to change a tire?

It’s not likely to happen, but if a vehicle breaks down on the way to your wedding, the DJ will be late or have limited time to set up.

These are the things that keep me up at night. This is why my vehicles are kept in excellent condition and I can quickly fix issues if they arise. Fix-A-Flat isn’t perfect, but if I only have a few miles left to the event, it will get me there quickly so I can do a nice job setting up.

Asking your DJ what year their vehicle is, and what they’d do in an emergency is a fair question.
