Frequent QuestionsThis section is intended to assist you in choosing the entertainment for your coming event. It is made up of questions that our customers have asked us in the past, pieces from articles, and the knowledge our staff have after being involved in thousands of successful events! If you still need help, please feel free to check our new Ask a DJ! forum, where your question and the answer will be responded to by one of our staff, or you can E-Mail us directly. Getting/staying in touch Whether it is when you first get in touch, when you are looking to book an appointment, or even after you have decided on which company to use, you should always be able to get a return phone call or e-mail within 24-48 hours. Bear in mind, your DJ may be working at an event, and especially over weekend periods the majority of time is dedicated to that weekends' events, so hearing back within an hour is not always possible. Pricing Unfortunately, DJs tend to be one of the last things shopped for, once the venue, food, invitations, and everything else has been decided. As a result, many people shop for the 'lowest price' available. Please keep in mind, that when people look back at your party, one of the biggest things that they will remember is if they danced and had a good time...NOT how the vegetable dip looked! Many bottom-price DJs are 'hobby' players, looking to supplement their income with what they consider an easy job. They will not be able to offer you the selection, quality of equipment and service, and dedication that a reputable company will have. Experience '5 years experience' really does nothing to tell you what kind of DJ you are getting. A DJ who has worked bars and clubs for 15 years and coming out to work their first wedding will have little idea of what to expect. Your DJ should be experienced in the kind of event you are hosting, be it a pub party, wedding, corporate event, birthday, or school event! Music Professional DJs generally carry a library of 15,000 songs and up to accomodate the wide variety of popular music available. This allows them to satisfy the requests you and your guests make, as well as call on their experience to fill out further songs to keep to flow of the party going. Equipment Your DJ should be using top of the line, well maintained professional equipment. If their equipment looks like something out of a college dorm, warning flags should be going up. If you're not sure, ask for an equipment list and check with a local music equipment store. Written Agreements Make sure that your event is confirmed in writing, especially for any specific requirements or service requests you have asked for. Backups Your DJ should have backup equipment available in case anything fails, so that your event is not missing out on anything. Backup staff is a great feature if available, but in the case of independant operators may be difficult. The bottom line is, if you have a question, make sure to ASK YOUR DJ. You are looking to hire them for an event that you have put considerable time, money, and effort into coordinating, and you don't want any unpleasant surprises! If they are really a professional company who want to earn your business, they should have no problem answering any of your questions. We provide services for: | ||||||||||||||||||||||
