Choosing a Disc Jockey and or Master of Ceremonies for your Wedding Reception, Private Party, Corporate Event, Fundraiser, Car Show, Fashion Show or Mitzvah is one of the most important decisions you will make for your events success. It can also be one of the most confusing and frustrating experiences as well. All facets of your event can be great but if the music and MC are not first rate your party can flop. There are approximately 50,000 DJ's in America. So how do you choose? The best and easiest way of finding the right DJ/MC is to hire those you've already seen. If you didn't get the name of the entertainer ask the host or manager of the facility in which the event was held. If you haven't seen a good entertainer lately, ask you friends. They probably have about the same taste in music as you and perhaps have been at an event you missed. Let them know ahead of time and ask them to keep their eyes open for you.
PRICES
How can I tell which is the best entertainment company for me?
The worst way to choose a mobile DJ service is simply by pricing alone. DJ company prices can range from $250-$1000.00+ for a four hour performance. That's a huge difference and while tempting to accept the lesser price alternative, it could be the biggest and costliest mistake you ever made. If that's all the money you have to work with then you really have no other choice. If you can afford more then, check out the DJ companies that interest you and check their references. So why the difference in price? Consider the law of supply and demand. There's a good reason why some DJ's are more expensive than others. The more expensive DJ's are generally the most experienced and their dress, music library, music equipment, and general attitude will prove that. They charge more because they have more shows and a reputation.
The DJ's on the low end of the pricing scale are generally just getting established or have less than an adequate reputation. The lesser priced DJ may do a great job for less formal affairs and may be worth a try but, there is no doubt a greater amount of risk involved on your part of hiring the lesser priced DJ. Now that you have phone in hand and are starting to call different entertainment companies pay close attention to their professionalism and phone etiquette.
WHAT QUESTIONS TO ASK
The worst first question to ask a mobile DJ service is, "How much do you charge"? The question is bad because the person you're speaking with has no information about the type of event, location, times of the engagement, etc. The most important question to ask is "What kind of experience does the DJ have for your event"? It would not be out of the ordinary to expect a professional mobile DJ to have performed at least 25-50 wedding receptions per year. When you find a DJ who is interesting now is the time to ask them describe in further detail, their performance and or technique. A reputable DJ will not hesitate to give you references and he/she should have several. If at that time this DJ invites you to a wedding reception this is definitely the DJ not to hire. This same DJ may have people you don't know walking in and out of your reception, with the focus then on those who will hire this DJ and not on those who already have.
MUSIC EQUIPMENT
Most mobile DJ's will boast about their sound systems and this is awesome if you are an audiophile. If you're not you won't know the difference between which brands are great and which are budget.
In most cases the brand names your DJ gives you shouldn't be the same as the equipment you see at a local electronics retailer. If they do mention names you recognize this should be concern for further questioning. Home stereo equipment isn't made to stand up to 4-5 hours of high power output. It could fail in the middle of your party. A professional DJ will have an amplifier that produces 300-600 watts per channel, whereas a home grade amplifier is usually rated at about 50-100 watts. The same rule should apply for speakers, microphones, and mixing boards.
MULTIPLE HOST DJ COMPANIES
The perfect DJ for you will be the one who is able meet your budget requirements, is personable, professional, and experienced in your type of party you are hosting. They will also have references. There are a lot of DJ and Entertainment companies who may or may not have your next mobile DJ/MC. You want your event to be stress free and successful. The best mobile DJ/MC will ensure both.
