Three Reasons To Hire A DJ For Your Teen's Sweet 16 Party

Turning 16 is a milestone birthday for parents and teens alike. A popular way that many families choose to celebrate is with a "Sweet 16" party. As you plan your event, you may wonder if it's best to hire a DJ or just a set up a pre-made playlist for the event. Check out a few reasons you should hire a Sweet 16 Party Dj.

1. A DJ Can Help with the Flow of the Evening

A DJ will serve multiple functions at your teen's Sweet 16 party. Not only will they make sure that your teen's celebration is filled with awesome music, but they'll also help maximize the flow of the evening.

You might be unsure as to how you should signal the beginning of certain events or let guests know that it's time to sing happy birthday. Your DJ will assist with making announcements that let your guests know what events are coming up and which ones are coming to a close so they can better anticipate how the rest of the party will flow.

2. Utilizing a Pro Will Ensure There's Music for Everyone at Your Teen's Party

Whether the Sweet 16 will consist primarily of teenagers or have a variety of ages, hiring a DJ will increase the likelihood that there's a wide variety of music that appeals to multiple tastes. When creating a playlist, it's easy to let your own musical preferences dictate the tunes. You may not even know what songs are popular in certain genres.

Your DJ will make sure that there is something for everyone at the party. They can play a mix of universally appealing tunes and songs that appeal to your teen's tastes. If you prefer the non-explicit versions of certain songs, your DJ will check that all music meets your specifications.

3. You Won't Have to Worry About Setting Up Sound Equipment

If your party to-do list already feels overwhelming, it makes sense to outsource some tasks to make the event as stress-free as possible for you. When you hire a DJ, you get to outsource a few different party-related tasks, like planning music for the party, playing the music at the party, and setting up the sound equipment.

Properly setting up sound equipment can require a bit of time, especially if you aren't familiar with the equipment. Another advantage of letting the DJ handle equipment set up is that if something goes wrong, the DJ will have backup pieces to make sure that the mishap doesn't spoil the party.
