"Your company is top notch in every way. DJ Jerry did an excellant job. Good transitions from cocktail hour to dinner to dance music. He kept the flow of the party moving. Being able to offer our guests music selectons in advance was really great"

WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN HIRING A DJ
The American Disc Jockey Association strongly recommends that you ask the following questions:

1. Are you insured? Can you supply me with proof of liability?
Many responsible business owners carry liability insurance to protect their businesses and the consumer. Many locations are beginning to require proof of liability. Ask for proof of liability insurance. (We will supply a Certificate of Liability Insurance naming the venue and the contracting party under our policy).

 2. Will you be willing to play requests and discuss music ahead of time?
A versatile Disc Jockey is willing to listen to your suggestions, give you feedback and play from your desired song list. A professional Disc Jockey will also accept the fact you may not want certain songs played. A professional Disc Jockey cannot know everything about your musical preferences and entertainment needs without communication. (We  will happily create a music play list based entirely on your preferences. Our interactive website lists over 65000 songs from which you can choose and submit to us.)

 3. Do you use Professional Equipment?
Ask whether your prospective Disc Jockey works with professional audio equipment. If you are not sure, ask for their equipment list and check with a local music dealer or the A.D.J.A. to verify they are using professional-grade sound gear. Remember that professional gear does not guarantee an entertainer's talent or service level, but is simply a tool for building an exceptional event. (YES. We use some of the best equipment in the industry to insure the highest quality sound).

4. Do you provide backup equipment at my event?
Although equipment failure is rare, do you really want your special occasion ruined because your Disc Jockey did not come prepared? It is also important to know if your Disc Jockey has a back-up plan in case of illness or an accident. Members of the A.D.J.A. have many resources available to them in case of an emergency. ( We come with complete backup equipment and music. Most times we also come with 2 DJ/MC’s  for further protection against the unexpected).

5. Does the Disc Jockey know the proper etiquette for your type of party?
A professional Disc Jockey will assist you with the planning of your special day. Most professional entertainers will coordinate, emcee and provide the music that you desire. Ask if they have experience with your type of event. (We have over 15 years in the Mobile Disc Jockey Business and have proven ideas to help make your event successful.)

6 How much time do you allow for set-up?
Punctuality is a necessity. Most Disc Jockey's arrive at least one hour prior to the start time you've given them. Your entertainer should ideally be setup and in-place before your first guest walks through the door. (We will arrive about 2 hours before your event for setup and preparation.)

7. Do you provide a written contract?
It is extremely important to have your booking confirmed in writing. Ask for a written agreement, especially if you are paying an initial retainer. The standard initial payment for entertainment services is 50%. If you are expecting a specific entertainer, make sure you get it in writing as well. (All our agreements are in writing so there is no misunderstanding and to give you piece of mind).  

8. Will you be suitably dressed for our occasion?
Specify the type of apparel that your Disc Jockey is expected to wear for your occasion. Formal attire or coat & tie are the most popular forms of attire. If you are having a "themed" event, make sure your entertainer is informed. ( We will be properly attired in formal eveningwear unless otherwise requested).

9. Do you belong to a professional organization or trade group?
Although belonging to an organization or trade group does not guarantee the talent or professionalism of a disc jockey, it may indicate the companies willingness to network, learn and grow. Disc jockeys can learn through local chapter meetings, national DJ conventions and seminars geared toward the entertainment professional. (We belong to the National Association of Mobile Entertainers N.A.M.E.)

Other Items to Note: Disc Jockey rates vary based on talent, experience, emcee ability, service, coordination, equipment needed, music knowledge, mixing ability and personality. Rates for the DJ industry vary greatly, ranging from $250.00 to $2500.00 with an average of $600.00 for a 4 hour booking. The best price is not always the best deal, especially if you are planning a wedding. As a matter of fact, surveys conclude that nearly 80% of brides would have spent more money on their entertainment and made it their #1 priority in hindsight. A full-service disc jockey company will normally invest 12 to 30 hours to your special event but it may appear that you are only paying for "4 hours". Consultations, music purchasing & editing, preparation, set-up and tear-down, education and other business related endeavors add up to the overall success of your special occasion.  

The Two Most Important Things To Know

1) The first and single most important thing to know is this: When you pay for the services of a disc jockey - or any entertainment - YOU ARE THE BOSS and THEY WORK FOR YOU.

2) Never assume what the DJ should already know. It's your event. You know what you want - the DJ does not. You will need to give the DJ as much information as possible.
