Accepting the venue’s own ‘resident’ DJ, rather than choosing your own, may be the easiest option, but that doesn’t mean it’s the best! If you do go with the DJ thrown in as part of the “package”, all too often what you receive is more “human jukebox”, and less professional DJ talent! You won’t get any choice, and you certainly won’t get a specialist in your chosen genre who will work with you to craft a bespoke set to your brief, mixed to perfection. In summary, the music might well seem like an afterthought. A venue may tell you that they prefer you to use their resident/preferred supplier, but very few will oblige you to. This is nearly unheard of: 9 times out of 10 you DO have the choice who you employ as your DJ.
