When to Book a Wedding DJ? The Ideal Timing

Imagine this: you found the perfect DJ. You send a message... and get the dreaded reply: "I'm already booked". It happens more often than you think.

The Golden Rule: 12 to 18 Months Before

Seem like a lot? It's not. The best wedding professionals in Portugal are booked over a year in advance.

The "Summer Saturday" Effect

It's math. There are only about 14 Saturdays between June and September. If there are 500 couples getting married in Porto, and only 50 top DJs... the race is real.

Ideal Booking Timeline

• 🟢 18 Months Before: You have your choice of any professional.
• 🟡 12 Months Before: Many are booked, but good options remain.
• 🟠 8-6 Months Before: Risk zone. Most "Premium" DJs are taken.
• 🔴 < 6 Months Before: You might have to compromise on quality.
