Meet in person BEFORE you decide on the DJ for your event!

Should I Meet In Person and Interview Entertainers Before Booking?

Absolutely! Whenever possible meet in person with entertainers that you are planning on hiring to assess whether or not they are the right fit for you. You are conducting and interview of the DJ entertainment you’re considering.

IMPORTANT! If you don’t feel comfortable with the DJ at your meeting, DON’T hire them! Move onto a better qualified candidate.

Attempt to meet during regular business hours to locate serious full-time entertainers that will focus on you and your event with the attention that you deserve.

Pay close attention to;

• • attire,
  • discretion,
  • relatable experiences,
  • mannerisms and
  • professional courtesy.

If the entertainment you are considering shows up to your interview intoxicated or high, they are showing what little respect they have for you and your event. If this is common behavior for the entertainer they could be one DUI or arrest away from being unable to fulfill the contract for your event.

Hint: Volume is relative to the surroundings in which the event is taking place. Larger rooms may require more sound reinforcement, whereas, smaller venues may require less.

Placing guests with sensitive hearing next to speakers or in corner is a recipe for disaster. DJs that are knowledgeable with audio equipment generally know how to address challenging rooms.

KEEP IN MIND: The volume can change dramatically from the DJ side of the sound system to the dance floor side. It is not uncommon for a DJ to be unaware how the volume level may be affecting you and your guests. Never hesitate to ask if you would like to have the music turned down or up to suit your needs. Courteous DJs should happily oblige.

Consider your event and the ages of your guests while making your choice for the best DJ entertainment. A bar DJ may be great in a bar…but lousy at a wedding, annivesary, school, college or birthday dance event. Choose wisely!
