| Wow, I think
about some of the DJ services I've seen in my time and I wonder how in the
world they were booked for any kind of money. Trust me when I say
that there is a huge difference between a good and a bad DJ.
Somebody once said to me that it's just music, all DJ's can play music,
it's got nothing to do with experience...he's now working in a metal shop
and long out of the DJ business. The music is just show filler.
You
want your event to be the best it can be, you want it all to go picture
perfect. Don't pick a DJ service cause the name just sounds like
they are good or they say they are good...none of that means a
thing. Here is what the look for when searching for that DJ service
that is right for you:
1) The length of time in the
business under that company name, most services that have a good rap have
been DJ'ing for many years.
2) Number of systems available,
the more the better cause they won't find your night over booked.
3) More DJ's than systems, it
would be unfortunate for the DJ to be sick on the night of your event and
the DJ service having no more jocks available!
4) A large selection of music,
requests for common songs that the DJ doesn't have can get pretty annoying
to the guests. Also make sure if they don't have what you've
pre-requested that they go get it.
5) Don't think that a DJ with mega
years experience is always the best, there can be a burnout factor with
that. If they only have a couple years experience that's ok, those
DJ's may give a better show with more enthusiasm than the old pros!
6) Please ask to see the DJ system
that will be at your event, it should create an atmosphere with the lights
and dance effects that comes with the system. Make sure the system
has fun toys to satisfy even the little ones.
The DJ is the most important part of your
event, they take over once you have said your part...make sure they are
prepared as well. |
