| Do
You Provide A Written Agreement? |
It
is very important to confirm your booking in writing. Terms
should be clearly defined to avoid future problems. |
| Are
You Insured? |
Be
confident that the DJ you hire will show up for your affair!
Insurance will give security & protection to you and your
guests, as well as the DJ and his expensive gear! |
| Do
You Have Backup Equipment and DJ's? |
Even
professional audio equipment can fail on occasion, don't let
this put an early end to your affair. Make sure there is backup
equipment and be sure there is a back-up DJ should an emergency
or case of illness occur. |
| Is
Your Equipment of Professional Quality? |
There
is a difference between home audio and professional road-worthy
equipment. The equipment a DJ uses should be built to go on
the road each and every day! |
| Will You Listen To My Music Suggestions? |
Many
DJ's are of the opinion that they know what music is best for
their audience and won't take requests. The DJ should listen
to requests and play them whenever appropriate. |
| Will You Dress Appropriately at My Affair? |
It
is important that your entertainer look the part by dressing
formal or semi-formal, according to your preference. Themed
events and picnics require different attire. |
| Will You Play The Music At An Appropriate Level? |
The
biggest concern voiced by prospective clients is the volume
level of the music. A professional DJ knows to keep the volume
at a level appropriate for the guests, especially during cocktails
and the dinner hour. |
| Do
You Do More Than Just Play Music at the Affair? |
Most
affairs involve more than playing music. It is important to
have a DJ who is capable of playing the music, handling all
of the announcements and helps to coordinate the affair. |
| Will You Listen to My Concerns and Input? |
A
professional DJ is aware that they can't possibly know every
aspect of music and entertainment. Your input and suggestions
should be welcome! |
|
Conclusion
A viable DJ company must
say yes to the above questions. Experience & quality are
the most important factors in hiring your entertainment. You
will never be sorry when you invest in quality. |
