What to look for in a DJ?

Hiring a DJ to play at your event is a great way to meet all your guests’ musical tastes while satisfying your budget. Since candidates rarely provide audition tapes or video when interviewing, it makes it difficult for you the consumer to distinguish the difference from the weekend warrior to the seasoned professional. Furthermore, you will want someone with experience providing entertainment for your specific functions that can also act as your master of ceremonies. You can determine a candidate’s suitability by asking the following questions:

1. Do you own professional not home stereo equipment?
   
   
2. Do you have access to backup equipment if necessary?
   
   
3. Do you have a business license?
   
   
4. Does your company and your DJ have liability insurance?
   
   
5. Do you have a variety of music to satisfy all age groups? Is it current?
   
   
6. What form of attire do your DJ’s show up in?
   
   
7. Are you knowledgeable about the proper procedures and etiquette for weddings? Parties? School Dances?
   
   
8. What is your DJ Background? How many years of experience do you have?
   
   
9. How many events would you say you do per month or year?
   
   
10. Will you provide a written contract upon agreement and numbers of previous clients?

In closing besides the candidate answering all these questions to your satisfaction, you should be able to establish a connection with their personality because this person will be in charge of your special day.
