  10 Questions to ask your disc jockey...




HOME
1. Who will be doing my wedding?
  Many disc jockey companies have multiple shows going out each weekend. Some will book you under their name and sub-contract with another company. A quality disc jockey service should meet with you at least once in person to develop rapport and discuss the details of your reception. You are developing a guest list to assure who is going to attend your reception. Why leave your entertainment to chance. ( You have the right to know who will be doing your wedding!!)
2. How much experience or training do my disc jockeys have?
 

There are over 70 disc jockey companies in the Milwaukee area. Experience and training varies. Some companies have just recently begun to operate. Others have a well-known name but send out inexperienced entertainers lacking proper training. Quality companies read industry literature, and attend conferences. They only perform at functions in which they have the proper training and experience .

3. What is included with your Disc jockey service?
  Some companies send out two disc jockeys, some only one. Some companies offer karaoke, fog, bubbles, and props as part of their package, others charge extra. Some price quotes are for six hours, others quote four hour prices. Make sure you are comparing apples to apples.
4. Does the company take the time to answer my questions?
  The representative from the company you are considering should be able and willing to answer your questions. Be aware of pushy sales people and companies who don't seem to be interested in your questions/concerns.
5. Will your Disc Jockeys play my requests?
  All companies should be able to provide you with the standards such as 50's-60's, disco, etc. if there are special songs that you want to hear, is the company willing to go the extra mile to get them for you? No company is expected to have every song, but a willingness to satisfy your tastes is important.(Be aware that there are disc jockey companies that use free [illegal] mp3's, yet they charge you a premium price)
6. How will my disc jockeys work with other vendors?
  A quality disc jockey company should coordinate their services with the hall manager, photographer, and videographer to make sure everyone is operating as a team. Your involvement during the reception should be minimal. You've already met with everyone and shared your desires.
7. How will you assist me in creating the atmosphere that I desire?
  Some couples are not sure of the type of atmosphere they want to create for their reception. A good disc jockey should be able to provide suggestions and let their clients know of his/her strengths or weaknesses. It is easy for anyone to just play music. It takes a special talent to to be able to interact and motivate an audience, and to play the right songs at the right time. Most couples and their guests will want to have fun. A good entertainer will know how to help people relax and have a great time.
8. How will your disc jockeys dress for my reception?
  Disc jockeys should dress appropriately when doing a wedding. Some disc jockeys dress casual during set-up (This is acceptable ). Then they change into a suit, tux, or other dress clothes before the start of the reception. Unless otherwise discussed, a disc jockey dressed in jeans, t-shirts, polo shirts, or tennis shoes during the reception is unacceptable.
9. When will you be setting up your equipment?
. Some companies offer a four-hour package and do the set-up during or right after dinner. This can be uncomfortable for the disc jockey and your guests. They may need to prop open a door which may let cold/warm air in or out. There is also the noise of moving equipment through the hall. Guests may also have to move to make room for the disc jockeys to bring in their equipment. Some companies offer six-hour packages and do the set-up before your guests arrive.( This eliminates distractions for you and your guests)
10. How can I verify the quality of your disc jockey company?
  Make sure that you are dealing with a quality company is very important. Some companies can provide you with a video, showing the best of their company.(Keep in mind that the entertainers in this video may or may not be working with the same company by the time your reception date arrives). Some companies can supply you with a list of testimonials and referrals from previous clients(Unsolicited comments are best). Some companies will invite you to see them in action ( This is a common practice and can be done w/out disturbing if handled properly by the disc jockey). The quality of written materials, professionalism of company representatives, and checking BBB can also be valuable in determining a company's reputation.
