Hiring a Professional DJ ?

Regardless of whether you are hiring a Professional DJ for your Wedding, or for your company Holiday Party or for a child's Birthday, the music ALWAYS plays a critical part in any event planning

Here are some tips to make certain that YOUR Party is everything that you want it to be AND to make it a memorable occasion for you and your guests;

1. Finding and hiring a Professional DJ is very much like shopping for anything else. The time that you spend researching your "purchase" of this service will pay you back with a successful and fun filled party or event.

2. The best way to find a great DJ is to have been at an event where you saw a DJ and liked what you heard. Even if you did not think to grab a business card at that time, perhaps you can call the person who hosted the party or event and ask them for the DJ contact information.

3. The next best way to find a good DJ is by referral from a family member, friend or associate who has used a particular DJ and has good things to say about that DJ. Asking around at work or anywhere else is also a good source of reference.

4. If none of the above is a possibility and you are starting more or less from scratch using the phone book or internet search, then you will need to hone your shopping technique and keep a notepad list handy.

5. Call and speak with your prospective DJ personally. You will want to notice how comfortable you feel speaking with this person as you will be working closely with them and will want to feel at ease in your communications. Critical~!

6. Ask every prospective DJ any and all questions that are pertinent to your party or event and take notice of the answers making appropriate notes in your notepad for each call. This will help later as you go through the call list.

7. Price is not always the best determining factor in hiring a DJ although your specific budget is of course relevant here. Work within your budget and be aware of any "extras" like lighting or give-aways that may pertain to your event.

8. Ultimately you will want a Professional DJ who you can relate to and who you feel very comfortable with. With these guidelines in mind, you will hire someone who can work together with you to create the party of your dreams~!
