How To Hire A DJ
Hiring the right DJ for your party or event is critical to its success, as the DJ can make or break the event in a matter of minutes. Here’s what you need to consider when looking around for a professional DJ.
The best place to start is with people you trust and by asking them for referrals. Think of someone who throws great parties and ask them what they believe is the ideal party entertainment company. Disc jockeys do advertise in magazines, on the Internet and in newspapers, but it is a good idea to speak to someone who has experienced the DJ’s performance firsthand. Many wedding and function venues keep lists of reliable DJs which you may contact. Interview the DJ for hire and ask the disc jockey questions to determine his experience, prices, set-up time and musical selection processes. If it is allowed, try pop in at an event that the DJ is performing at to gain a more “hands-on” feel of how they work. Many good DJs will be prepared to find the music you want.
Be sure to allocate a fair budget to the DJ when planning your party. The cost of the DJ is relatively low compared to the rest of the party costs. Look for a DJ that fits within your budget, but who has a good track record and contactable references. By hiring a disc jockey, you may need to stretch your budget a little farther, but after your event has had a great amount of success, you will be appreciative for the services that you have received.
Be sure to book your DJ a good few months in advance, and ensure that he or she is contractually obliged to “show up” on the day. Confirm the date and time, schedule of events, venue requirements, lighting and equipment needs. If the DJ does not include this information in his contract, include an addendum to ensure that the party DJ incorporates all of your requirements, such as equipment and emcee duties, in his fee.
Avoid a party DJ who does not return calls quickly or fail to send you the information you requested. Trust your instincts: if you have a bad gut feel about a certain DJ, avoid him or her. Searching for the lowest price is simply a bad strategy: One of the biggest mistakes you can make is to go price-hunting, and book the cheapest DJ in town. Be sure to do your homework and find out about each company or DJ, to ensure that you are going with someone reliable who has a track record.
