How to Hire a DJ

written by DJ Andrew,

A Music Wave.

 

Finding the "right" DJ can be a challenge but if this is your first
time to hire a DJ, you came to the right space. Here are some very
helpful tips for hiring the "right" disc jockey (DJ) for your event!


  • Treat this proccess for what it is, an interview for an important job.

  • Phone interview: call as many disc jockeys as you can and see how
    many DJs return your call. DJs may be plentiful but many may not
    be able to handle or may not be interested in your party or wedding
    for various reasons including location of venue or availability.

  • Ask each DJ if they can accomodate the type of event you are
    planning with the styles of music you and your guests will enjoy.
    If your event has more than 250 guests, make sure the DJ has a
    sound system to handle the room size for your party or wedding.

  • Narrow down your search to the three disc jockeys with the most
    experience, the best value, the best overall fit for your event.

  • Request three references and call all three of each of your top
    three DJs you have selected. Customers who have hired a DJ will
    have useful feedback about their experiences.

  • Request a contract from your top three disc jockeys you have
    selected and read it carefully. DJs will also require a deposit
    in order to secure the date with them.

  • In person interview: meet your top three disc jockeys and ask
    each of them questions about how they will handle the details of your
    event. Go over the contract with the DJ and the details on their set
    up requirements. Make sure the DJ you meet is the DJ performing
    at your party or wedding! Be sure and ask to see the DJ's music
    library, and his/ her level of commitment to be on time.

  • Keep in mind that an experienced
    DJ will be worth his weight in gold
    when something unexpected happens.
    wedding planners spend more of their
    budget on food or catering than on
    the DJ. However, if you have a bad
    or average meal, it does not have the
    same effect on the party or wedding as a bad or average DJ!

  • Book early! A premiere DJ will get dates booked three to
    six months in advance, especially if the DJ is an experienced
    Master of Ceremonies or MC. Your MC can make all of your
    formal announcements and keep the event flowing at a good
    pace to avoid guests being bored.


  • Follow up with your DJ / MC one week prior to your party
    or wedding and as often as needed. Make sure your disc
    jockey knows exactly what you expect from him / her.
