Prompt Return Of Your Phone Calls Or Emails:

You Should Expect To Get A Call Back Or An Email Back Within 24 Hours. Many DJ's Are Out Working And May Not Be Able To Return Your Call Within An Hour Or Two.

Willingness To Meet With You And Present His Service:

Will The D.J. Try To Meet With You Soon, Or Is He Just Trying To Book The Date Sight Unseen? Is Their Material And Professional Looking, And Is Their Presentation Organized And Informative??

Is The Price Too Good To Be True?:

It Seems That The D.J. Is Often The Last Service Chosen, After Much Of The Budget Is Expended On A Venue, Food And Clothing. This Often Leads Brides And Party Planners To Shop For The Cheapest Price Possible Because Of The Lack Of Resources. This Often Backfires When Holding Out For The Lowest Price. However, If You Have Adhered To The Guiding Principals Noted Here, You Will Know To Avoid Services That Have A Rock Bottom Price Because They will Not Be Able To Display The Level Of Quality And Attention To Detail That Every Client Deserves!

Do You Like The Person That Shows Up??

There Is NOTHING Worse In The World Than Having To Do Business With Someone You Do Not Like. Choosing The Person Who "Feels" Right Is The Most Important Factor In Picking The Right Entertainer For Your Party Or Reception. The D.J. You Choose Should Be Vary Open About What He Can Do For You And Should Volunteer Information And "Show" You That Knowledge Base.

Is The Person Knowledgeable About Your Type Of Event?

There Are All Kinds Of DJ's. Club DJ's, Wedding DJ's, Rave DJ's.... The List Is Endless!! Can The D.J. You Interview Handle Your Type Of Event? Ask The D.J. How Many Events Of Your Type That He Has Done.

What Sort Of Documents Does The D.J. Use To Procure Your Business?

In A Good Interview, The D.J. Should Show You Several Documents. First And Foremost Is A Planner. This Planner Should Impress You Enough To The Point Where You Begin To Understand That The D.J. You Are Hiring Is A Professional, And Is Capable Of Handling Your Event. A Simple Copy Of A Contract To Be Used Should Be Available As Well As A Schedule Of Pricing Information. A D.J. May Also Give You A List Of References. CALL THEM!!!!  Ask If There Were Any Issues Or Problem Areas When The Person Dealt With The D.J.

Does The D.J. Have A Music List That Shows You The Music He Has??

Many DJ's Do Not Use Music Lists, Others Do. In Some Fashion, You The Client, Need To Be Assured That The D.J. You Hire Not Only Has A Sizable Collection, But Has A Variety Of Music, Especially For Wedding Receptions, Where Many Different Styles Of Music And Guests Will Be The Same Room Together.

Does The D.J. Use Professional Grade Equipment?

If The D.J. Does Not Have Pictures Of His Equipment, You Should Ask To Set Up A Time To See His Equipment Or See Pictures Of His D.J. Set Up. Although There Are Many Fine Stereo Equipment Components Made, They Are Not Suitable For Commercial Or Repeated Use And Varying Room Conditions. The D.J. Should Be Able To Tell You What He Uses And Characterize The Equipment As Professional Grade.

Will The D.J. Offer To Meet With You To Plan Your Very Special Event??

A Professional D.J. Will Always Be Willing To Discuss Your Event At Any Time Before And During Your  Event, And Should Display The Flexibility To Accommodate Changes And Help You Solve Any Problems. Meeting Your D.J. To Plan Your Event Is A Paramount Importance To A Successful Event Such As A Wedding Reception.

Will The D.J. You Interviewed Be The D.J. To Perform At Your Event??

This Is The Most Important Common Complaint About The D.J. Industry Today. The Person You Meet With Turns Out NOT To Be The Person That Actually Does Your Event. Often, You Are Not Made Aware Of This Until The Day Of Your Event. Ask The D.J. You Interview If He Will Be The Actual Person Performing, Or Will Someone Else Perform The Event. Make Sure You Are Going To Meet With The Person That Is Actually Doing Your Event. You Need To Know This UP FRONT Before You Sign A Contract.

Consider This When Pricing Your D.J. Service!!!

You Should Consider Your D.J. Service Is Like An Insurance Policy That Ensures That All Of The Other Money You Spent Will Not Result In Bad Memories Or A Less Than Enjoyable Occasion. You Do Get What You Pay For. Good Entertainment Is NOT CHEAP, And Cheap Entertainment Is NOT GOOD!!!! And Yet Many People Will Pay Far More For A Cake, Flowers, Or Food Than They Will For The Most Crucial Ingredient At A Party (The Music). When Was The Last Time You Saw A Cake Reading A Crowd And Playing A Song, Motivating A Dance Floor Crowd, Or Making Announcements In A Dignified Elegant Way? Further, When Was The Last Time You Heard A Guest Tell You "Boy That Prime Rib Was Great. I Can't Wait Until I Go To Another Party To Have That Again"? That DOES NOT HAPPEN. Instead, They Mainly Talk About The Music That Was Played, And Whether They Had A Good Time Or Not.
