Disc jockeys can be the life of the party. They entertain guests and set the tempo of the event. Experience is the number one attribute
of a great DJ. Other than expertise, there may be other concerns you have or questions to be answered. While interviewing your DJ,
consider the following:
Pricing for DJ services vary, so it is important to receive quotes from several sources before making a final decision. The size,
duration, time of year, and venue of your event may determine the pricing.
No one should be responsible for the DJ's equipment other than them. Ask if they are fully insured, and if they can provide proof
of liability.
Inquire about the equipment. You do not have to be a tech wizard to realize if the disc jockey has prime equipment or secondhand
junk. You are hosting a private occasion; you do not want the entertainment to be lacking.
Ask the disc jockey services about the music. Can they provide the music? Can they play the songs on your list? Do they take
requests from guests? Does the DJ have experience emceeing the type of event you're hosting? Knowing the answer to these questions
can give you a better idea of how well the DJ can service you.
This question can reflect on the experience of the DJ. If they have done your variety of affair before, then they will know how long
it will take to set up and close down.
The disc jockey's dress may be an issue. Are you comfortable with them arriving to your affair in jeans and a t-shirt, or would you
rather them wear something more formal? Discuss this subject before the event.
Make sure you hear a resounding "yes" from your disc jockey service. Contracts are important. You do not want the entertainment for
your affair hanging in the balance of an oral contract. You want to ensure the service will be provided.
