Do
you porivde 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 and 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 backup 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:
It is
important to find a DJ company that says yes to the above questions.
Experience
and quality are the most important factors in hiring your entertainment.
You will never be sorry when you invest in quality.
