When interviewing DJ's, make sure you ask the following questions:

Do you provide a written agreement?

All Star DJ: Yes. It is very important to confirm your booking in writing. Terms should be clearly defined to avoid any confusion or future problems.

Are you insured?

All Star DJ: Yes. Be confident that the DJ you hire will show up for your affair! Insurance provides security & protection to you and your guests, as well as the DJ and his expensive gear! Some reception halls require DJ's to be insured. You should, too.

Do you have backup equipment and DJ's?

All Star DJ: Yes. Even professional audio equipment can fail on occasion, don't let this put an early end to your affair. Make sure your DJ carries backup equipment and that there is a substitute DJ available should an emergency or case of illness occur.

Is your equipment of professional quality?

All Star DJ: Yes. There is a difference between home audio and professional road-worthy equipment. The equipment a DJ uses should be built to go on the road each and every day.

Will you listen to my music selections?

All Star DJ: Yes. Many DJ's are of the opinion that they know what music is best for their audience and won't take requests. Your DJ should listen to requests and play them whenever appropriate.

Where do you get your music?

All Star DJ: Yes, we use authentic recordings. Several DJ companies have been shut down or sued for obtaining music illegally over the internet or for recording their own copies.

Is the person knowledgeable about your type of event?

All Star DJ: Yes. There are all kinds of DJ's: club DJ's, wedding DJ's, rave DJ's…the list is endless!! Can your DJ service handle your wedding reception? Ask the DJ how many events of your type that he/she has done.

Will you dress appropriately at my affair?

All Star DJ: Yes. It is important that your entertainer look the part by dressing formal or semi-formal, according to your preference. Themed events and picnics require different attire.

Will you play the music at appropriate levels?

All Star DJ: Yes. The biggest concern voiced by prospective clients is the volume level of the music. A professional DJ knows to keep the volume at a level appropriate for the guests, especially during cocktails and the dinner hour.

Do you do more than just play music at the reception?

All Star DJ: Yes. Most wedding receptions involve more than playing music. It is important to have a DJ who can handle all the announcements, help coordinate the affair, and create a fun atmosphere with the music they play.

Will you listen to my concerns and input?

All Star DJ: Yes. A professional DJ is aware that they can't possibly know every aspect of music and entertainment-and your ideas. Your input and suggestions should be welcome!

Will you offer to meet with me AFTER signing the contract to plan my event?

All Star DJ: Yes. A professional DJ is ALWAYS willing to discuss your event before the event starts, and should display the flexibility to accommodate changes and help you solve problems. Meeting with your DJ to plan your event is of paramount importance to a successful wedding reception.

It is important to find a DJ company that says yes to the above questions. Professionalism, experience & quality are the most important factors in hiring your entertainment. You will never be sorry when you invest in quality.
