Disc Jockey
When you are doing party planning and need to hire a DJ, there are several things that you need to keep in mind. With the right disc jockey, the party or wedding can be a great hit. With the wrong one or one that is inappropriate, that is all that guests will remember later.
By following a few guidelines or rules, you will be certain to get a professional. They need to have references. They should be open to providing you with a list of clients who you can contact about their services. If they are leery of providing these, there may be an underlying reason why they're reluctant. The references should be recent clients and represent a variety of different venues and party styles. Something more than written testimonials is necessary. Anybody can make up false written claims.
You should be able to see the DJ in action before the party. They should be willing to do an audition for you or provide you with video footage of previous performances. Larger DJ companies will often have presentations where they highlight their different talent and give you a chance to directly talk with them.
When you hire a DJ, you should also make sure that they have professional grade equipment. It needs to be reliable and provide the proper sound for the size of the venue that you have. It is also important that they have backup options. If something happens to the equipment on the day of the event, what will the DJ do to ensure that they still provide the services?
Since it is going to be your event, you need to be in control of the music and not be surprised by any songs. Many DJs will give you access to song banks where you can select the styles and the particular songs that you want to choose. It is your event, so if the DJ is reluctant to give you control over the music, look elsewhere.
During the event, the DJ has a lot of different responsibilities in addition to simply providing the music. He should be able to read the crowd and realize when they need to be energized or when they aren't reacting well to a particular song or type of music. He should be encouraging but never condescending or annoying. It takes a special person to be able to work the crowd well.
Finally, they should be able to provide you with a written contract of their services. This should outline exactly what is expected and will give you peace of mind.
When you hire a DJ, take your time in deciding. Get references and make sure that you are completely comfortable with them. These few things will ensure a successful event.
