We know how hard it may be for you to find the right DJ for your upcoming event, so we have listed some guidelines below to make the task easier for you.
Thinking of using an Ipod? Unless you have someone who is going to dedicate themselves to run the system, just pressing play may lead to songs being repeated and poor sound quality. I understand that you may have a limited budget and options may seem minimal if any at all. Consider contacting me and I may be able to provide my services for your event.
Plan ahead and search for a DJ while you are booking your other services. Waiting until the last minute can cost you and lead to mistakes.
Ask questions - lots of them. This is the only way for you to figure out if the DJ you are speaking to is the right one for your upcoming event.
Don't hire the cheapest DJ you can find. 80% of your guests will remember the entertainment over anything else.
Ask the DJ if he or she is the one that is going to DJing your event. Large DJ companies have several DJs on staff and will often send a different DJ to your event than the one you met with.
Ask for references. This is the only way you can really find out how the DJ performed at other events.If the DJ invites you to a private performance such as a wedding - run. How would you like it if a stranger arrived at your wedding or party just to see the DJ?
Does the DJ carry insurance? The reality is the majority of hotels and other venues now require DJs to carry their own insurance or they will not be allowed to perform at the venue.
Don't get fooled into thinking that the more you pay, the better the DJ will be. Bigger DJ companies often claim this just to get you to book their services, but this is not true. What you pay does not make the DJ better - it is the DJ themselves. That is why you should always meet with your DJ before booking them.
