Knowing what to expect will help insure you are not disappointed on your special day. Here are 12 important points to think about:
1. Do you have a written agreement? 2. Do you have backup equipment and DJs?
It is very important to confirm your booking in writing. All terms should be clearly defined before the event, this will help to avoid any future problems.
Nothing is infallible, professional equipment can even fail on occasion. Make sure your DJ has backup equipment available at all times. People too have limitations, inquire about backup DJs and how replacements are handled in case an emergency or illness occurs.
3. Are you insured? 4. Will you listen to my suggestions?
Be certain your DJ has insurance. Insurance will give you and your guests security and protection they need as well as the expensive DJ gear!
Many DJs are of the opinion they know which music is best for their audiences and consequently they won't take requests. The DJ should listen to all requests and play them whenever it is appropriate.
5. Will you play the music at the appropriate level? 6. Will you dress appropriately?
The biggest concern voiced by all clients is the volume level of the music. A professional DJ knows to keep the music at a level appropriate for guests, especially during the cocktail and dinner hour.
Whether your affair is formal, semi-formal or even a theme event such as a picnic or luau, it is very important for your entertainer to look like they are part of the party. Be sure you are able to coordinate their attire.
7. Do you do more then just play music at the affair? 8. Can you also provide music for my wedding ceremony ?
Most affairs involve more than just playing music. It is important to have a DJ who is a versatile entertainer. A good DJ should be capable of playing the music, handling all of the announcements and coordinating the various ceremonies and activities you may have. More importantly they are there to help make your event a memorable one.

9. What time should I expect my DJ to arrive? 10. How far in advance do we need to book for a party?
Your DJ should arrive at least 60 minutes prior to the arrival of your guests and be ready to play when your guests arrive.
Saturdays are very popular. We recommend at least 6-9 months notice. Most DJs sell out very quickly. We suggest you book as soon as you set your date.
