BOOKING TIPS

The 7 Most Important Questions to ask before booking a DJ:

1.  Is the DJ’s professionalism evident in the first phone call? Your DJ should want to do your event – and do it your way.  He should be prompt, positive, and enthusiastic, with excellent communication skills.  A willingness to tailor announcing, formalities and music is a must, as is an info packet or website containing references and a description of what the DJ has to offer in the way of planning, music and equipment.

2.  Will the DJ play the music I want?  It’s your event.  Your DJ should be willing to play what you want him/her to play, making sure the evening’s play list will suit your taste and that of everyone attending.  Your DJ will only be able to play about 45 songs in 3 hours of dancing. Having the right 45 songs is a lot more important than having thousands of songs your guests don’t want to hear.

3.  Is the music on CD or compressed as Mp3? Many DJs carry all their music as Mp3 files on laptops, MDs or Mp3 players.  Mp3 files were developed for fast, compressed file transfer over the internet, not for high sound quality.  They sound adequate on small speakers and headphones but lack the depth, bass and clarity when played through an 800-watt DJ system.  The difference in sound quality is very noticeable.  Mp3 players and laptops are also not designed for DJ use.  They lack the controls used by professional DJs and, If one fails, the DJ has lost not only his/her player, but the entire music library.  Your DJ should use uncompressed (.wav file) CDs with pro-grade CD Players (not low-end portables) for optimum sound quality, control and reliability. 

4.   Do they have professional grade equipment that will provide a quality performance?  Many DJs do not invest in the proper equipment to deliver clean, rich sound to large crowds and withstand the rigors of road use.  Ask each DJ what brands they use then research the names.  

5.  Do they always bring complete backup equipment?  Even the best equipment can fail.  If it fails during your event and the DJ has no backups, the party is over.  Insist on a backup for the Mic, CD players, mixer, amp, speakers (both speakers) and headphones as part of the contract.

6.  What happens if they can't do the event and have to cancel?  Many DJs do not have a backup DJ if, for some reason, they cannot do the show themselves.  Some will also book an event at a very low price then cancel when a more profitable event comes along for the same date.   

7.  Is a low price really a good price?  DJs tend to charge what they are worth.  Good DJs cost more because their superior skills and reputation are in high demand.  If a DJ costs significantly less than others in the same market, there is usually a reason why.  Your DJ can make or break your event, so invest in a good one.
