5 questions to ask every Burlington dj

  1. Will the DJ we book be the DJ who shows up — or someone else from the team?
  2. Can we see video from a recent live wedding (not a club mix)?
  3. How do you handle the do-not-play list and crowd reading?
  4. What's included: MC duties, ceremony mics, uplighting, dance lighting?
  5. What's your backup gear and backup-DJ plan?

When to book

For Jun–Oct dates, the best Burlington wedding DJs are usually booked 9–14 months out. Black flies are vicious in late May/early June outdoors. If you're inside 6 months, target Nov–Apr weekends — availability and rates both improve.
