How to Choose A DJ

Booking A DJ or Band Without

A Contract...

It has come to our attention that a lot of "brides to be" or wedding planners have been contacting us frequently in the past saying their entertainment backed out on them or even went out of business. We are not telling you this to scare you. We just want to make sure that whomever you get to provide your music completes a legal and binding contract ensuring their services for your day. The same goes for your caterers, photographers, etc. Keep in touch with them too. Make sure things are still set and everything is a go. If such a problem should occur, we are always here to help in any emergency.

The Importance of a Written Contract

If you don't have a contract, you have no guarantee that the DJ or band will show up!!! So no contract can be VERY DEVASTATING!

How Soon Do I Need to Book A DJ?

The most popular and experienced DJ's get booked up fast so the longer you wait the less chance you have at booking a great DJ or the DJ you want. If you wait a month or two before your event you may end up getting stuck with someone inexperienced or of lesser quality that you had hoped for. It is very important that you book your DJ, venues and everything else you need at least 6-12 months in advance. Dates fill up very quickly from January through March. Don't be stuck with services that were simply available, make sure you get the service providers you wanted by booking early! Also it is important because it is very difficult for a DJ to perform at there best with little time to prepare and know everything that is going on for an event. So it is important to book early and stay in touch with your DJ so everything is planned out and ready to go for your special event!

All DJ's Are Pretty Much the Same

FALSE! Every single DJ and DJ Company is different in many ways. All DJ's have a different style and some are specialists in particular genres or styles of music. Some DJ's have been trained in entertaining in Clubs or Bars and not Wedding or other events. Every company has different styles and levels of DJ's and rules for training and professionalism. Some companies pay their DJ's very little money and get the first person that they can find that is familiar with music and can run the equipment. Make sure the DJ/Company you are looking at hiring has training and is professional, but also not only out to make tope dollar. Be sure that they are there to make your night the best it can be.
