POINTS TO CONSIDER WHEN HIRING A DJ
When
you plan a party of any sort, your objective is to ensure that your guests have
a good time, period. Your choice of entertainment, particularly if you are
considering a DJ, is crucial to that end. Who you choose for your wedding
reception or special event will have a greater degree of effect than any other
factor, such as food or location. The DJ you choose is a direct reflection on
you. Here are some important points to remember when
you interview a DJ company.
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/her service: Will
the DJ try to meet with you soon, or is he/she just trying to book the date
sight unseen? Is their material neat and professional looking, and is their
presentation organized and informative?
Is the price too good to be
true? It
seems that the DJ 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 a 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 DJ you choose
should be very open about what he/she 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 DJ you interview handle your type of event? Ask the DJ how
many events of your type that he/she has done.
What sort of documents does the
DJ use to procure your business? In
a good interview, the DJ 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 DJ you are hiring is a professional, and is capable
of handling your event. A sample copy of the CONTRACT to be used should be
available as well as a schedule of pricing information. A DJ 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 DJ.
Does
the DJ use professional grade equipment?
If
the DJ does not have pictures of his or her gear, you should ask to set up a
time to see the equipment or see pictures of the DJ’s set up. Although there
are many fine home stereo equipment components made, they are not suitable for
commercial or repeated use and varying room conditions. The DJ should be able to
tell you what he/she uses and characterize the equipment as professional grade.
Will
the DJ offer to meet with you AFTER signing the contract to plan your event?
A professional DJ is ALWAYS
willing to discuss your event at any time before the event starts, and should
display the flexibility to accommodate changes and help you solve problems.
Meeting your DJ to plan your event is of paramount importance to a successful
event such as a wedding reception.
Will the person that you
interview be the person that will perform at your event?
This is THE most common complaint
about the DJ industry today. The person you meet turns out NOT to be the person
that actually does your show. Often, you are not made aware of this. Ask the DJ
you interview if he/she will be the actual person performing, or will someone
else perform the event. You need to know this UP FRONT before you sign a
contract.
Consider this when pricing your
DJ service: You
should consider your DJ service an insurance policy that ensures that all of the
other money you spend 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 often 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 spinning a CD, 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”? No, that DOES NOT
HAPPEN. Instead, they talk about the music that was played, and whether they had
a good time or not. The music is always what they will talk about and whether
the DJ was any good or not.
Your DJ, if you have chosen a
good one, will display many of the following skills and attributes before and at
your event:
- Master of Ceremonies
- Party organizer
- Sound technician
- Light technician
- Ability to read a crowd and pick the right music
- Flexibility to adapt to sudden changes
- Follow the plan that you and he/she have worked out using the planner
- Seamless continuous music at all times unless otherwise specified
- Extensive library of music
- Professional grade of equipment
- Audience motivator
- Ability to co exist and coordinate with other professionals at your event
