Here are the rest of the questions that each person should be sure to inquire of before hiring a DJ company for their big day.
4. Can I meet my DJ before my big day?
1. This is very important as your DJ’s personality is what makes or breaks your evening. Light shows are nice, sound systems are important, but if their only sales points are they have the loudest system or fanciest lights in the industry, then they may be compensating for unprofessional or untrained DJs. The DJ does two very critical things for you. Number one he or she coordinates the flow of the evening with all the vendors and number two he or she makes sure people have fun during the dancing.
5. Have you worked with my facility before?
1. The DJ must be well versed with the facilities set-up requirements, load in procedures, flow of the evening, and ending times. One of the BEST forms of references for your DJ should come from your facility. They see hundreds of DJs and are probably your best source for a recommendation.
6. Do you pay employees a 1099 or sub-contractors?
1. Many larger DJ companies actually use other smaller DJ companies when they book-up. The draw-back is then you pay too much for a potentially inferior service. Make sure that your company does not sub-contract their DJs.
7. Do I need to sign an agreement?
YES! You need to work with a company with a contract. Remember that contract protects you as much as them! It says they promise to be there for your event! With that in mind the quality of the literature they give you is a direct reflection on their customer service and professionalism. If they had really bad copies for song lists, or hand write your plans on a cocktail napkin, you can bet your evening will not go as you planned!

The most important thing to remember when planning your wedding is to have fun! The DJ should not be a stress for you to overcome. Simply look for the signs that you are hiring a trusted and professional and you stand a GREAT, chance at having a Stress-Free wedding day of which dreams are made!
