2020 was a year in the dj wedding industry we like to forget. It started with a lot of promise then the lockdown happened. Folks had to wait for their big events so 2021 and 2022 are booking fast.  I have noticed more traffic on my website and people are looking to have events.

What do I recommend? I recommend getting your venue first and foremost. If there is no venue then there is no party can happen. Once that is secure its time to get your dj. Its good to have at least 6 months to prepare but folks have called with one month before and dates are booking fast. Saturday is by far the most popular day followed by Friday. So those days will be hard to secure if its short notice. But off days such as Monday and Tuesday will have way more openings. But if you have your heart on a Saturday and you try to get it a month before the event then you may want to look into having it early since some places may have availability. But being rushed out of your party to set up another party does not sound fun. Again off days such as a Sunday and you can start earlier and finish at 6 or 7 so folks can get enough rest for their day job the following day. 

Also consider the weather can be a factor if you have an outside event. If you do book an event and its outside make sure the venue has a plan b or inside option if the weather does not permit. In the Bay Area, weather can be factor but good venues always have alternatives.
