Click here Hiring A DJ

Hiring the right DJ is probably the most important decision you can make for the successful outcome of your event! How do you find the right one? Some people view DJ's as nothing more than another minor detail and sometimes base their selection on the least expensive one they can find.  Price should factor into your decision, but there are other differences to look for. I've heard numerous horror stories from customers about other DJ companies that lure in customers with low prices, only to provide an inexperienced DJ with poor skills, poor music selections, and sub-standard equipment  Consider the total cost of your event and compare this to the cost of the DJ.  Now compare the impact that any one item has on the outcome of your event to the impact that the DJ has.  This page will help you find the right DJ! It could make the difference between a memorable event and an unforgettable nightmare!

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.
