Booking An Event DJ

In today’s video blog, “Booking An Event DJ”, Genealogy Boutique & Formals runs through a few basics you should know when looking for the right DJ for your event. The right music is essential at events where dancing is involved and the DJ can make or break the mood. You need to book a DJ about six months in advance. Always get a contract, putting in writing what you’ll be expecting from the DJ. Let the student committee do the legwork and get the DJ options narrowed down before you start researching each individual. References are absolutely essential. Some DJ’s may not have the right music for your group, some might just display a bad attitude, or some may not have enough equipment to play such a large room – These are all things to look out for when reviewing your options. Remember, this person has the potential for ruining your event, so be picky. One you’ve chosen your DJ, there are a few things you’ll need to poll the other guests about. Do the guests want to choose the music? Poll them for a list of songs and music they want to hear at this event. Do they want video screens? What about strobe lights? Or smoke? These decisions will make a huge difference in the price. DJ’s range in price from 0 to 00 for an event, so shop around. Make a careful, informed decision. You won’t be sorry you spent the extra time on finding the right DJ.
