Key points to consider when booking a DJ for your event!
Published on: Monday 26th of September 2011
1) Meet, in person, with at least 2 DJ companies. Never hire a DJ company over the phone or through email. Make sure they offer several packages and optional services, to meet your specific entertainment needs.
2) Meet the actual DJ that will be performing at your event, not a sales representative or booking agent for that DJ Company. This is the only way you can be certain that the person handling your event, has the professionalism and personality to fit your style. Make sure that the Agreement you sign has the specific DJ’s name listed as their representative for your event.
3) Meet the DJ at their place of business. This is the most important aspect in determining the level of organization and professionalism you can expect from their services. You should also expect them to be able to meet you during normal business hours, for your convenience. Ask to see their equipment to make sure that it is neat and aesthetically pleasing. Also, confirm that they are obtaining their music from a legal source that allows for playback at public events.
4) Check that the DJ Company has at least 12 references from the past 4 months. If they have not performed positively at 12 events in 4 months, they are not to be considered an actively working DJ Company. Make sure references are current and you are able to contact them via email or phone. Other vendors or event professionals are also helpful references, as they work with DJs on a regular basis. Don’t ask to see the DJ in action at an upcoming event, as it would be an inconvenience to his client, awkward for you and will rarely give you an insight to how they will perform at your event. Ask to see a video of a similar event you are planning instead, this can be just as effective.
5) Make sure the DJ Company has a current Liability Insurance Policy for you to review. A $2,000,000.00 policy is the current industry standard. Not only does this protect you and your guests, but most event facilities will require that all of your vendors are insured.
6) Make sure the DJ Company belongs to at least one major industry association and regularly attends workshops or trade shows. This way, you can be sure that they are keeping up with staff training, new technology and current trends in the entertainment industry.
7) Check online resources for additional information regarding a potential DJ Company. Pay close attention to "review" sites and make sure they have positive ratings from former clients. To make this easier for you to obtain, ask the DJ Company to email you links to the various sites they have been rated on.
With these key points in mind, you now have all the tools you’ll need to make an educated choice, when choosing a DJ Company for your upcoming event.

Wedding DJ Costs
Wedding DJ pricing. So, how much does a wedding DJ cost?
You pretty much have most of the vendors chosen for your wedding, but now onto the wedding DJ pricing. So how much does a wedding DJ cost? You will see many different wedding DJ prices. So, keep these points in mind and you will find the right one.
Cheap Wedding DJ Prices These prices will usually be in the ranges of $75 per hour or less. Many of these wedding DJ’s are part-time hobbyists. They might have no idea how to coordinate and deliver what you want at your wedding. Just call these companies and you will notice a huge difference with their customer service skills. This might be a risky deal because they might show up with low grade equipment (if they even show up at all). There is a possibility that you can spend $200-$400 on your wedding DJ and be happy, but you have to understand what cheap wedding DJ prices really mean.
At 800DJ, our recommendation: Never hire a wedding DJ that costs less than your veggie tray
Average Wedding DJ Pricing So, your biggest criteria were your budget, and you went way overboard. So, instead you and your fiancé decided to hire someone to “Just Play Music.” Do you want the good news or bad news first? Okay straight to the good news, you just saved a couple of hundred bucks! Unfortunately, your decision might cost you much more down the road. This category of wedding DJ’s is priced all over the place. Usually many are larger wedding DJ companies that subcontract 15-25 wedding DJ’s every weekend. They improve their profit margin this way (more DJ’s=smaller profit margin) to support advertisements and overhead. There are many good DJ’s that are subcontracted by these companies. However, they might be so big that you might not even know who your wedding DJ will be until the week of.
I said earlier that there is a difference between a full-time company and part-time hobbyist. A full-time company depends on your referrals to generate future leads and business. This means that they are 110% dedicated to your wedding reception. The wedding DJ cost needs be looked at with their references. Ask for recent clients’ names, phone numbers, and e-mails. When I say recent I mean 6 months or less when available. Any reputable company will be able to give you this information.
At 800DJ, our recommendation: Let the buyer beware
Expensive Wedding DJ Prices These people may charge anywhere from $1500-$4500. There may be added value, such as an additional DJ/wedding coordinator, lighting, staging, dancers, or props. Other times, this price is determined by an owner with an over inflated ego. If their wedding DJ cost is expensive, then this does not mean that they have instant credibility. This price might be marked up since they do not have enough word of mouth referrals yet. You should not have to take out a second mortgage to pay for your wedding DJ cost.
At 800DJ, our recommendation: Get everything in writing, and question anything that might be overkill
How Much Does a Wedding DJ Cost So, how much does a wedding DJ cost? This depends on how comfortable you are with the lighting, experience, equipment, music, and fun options. You should try unique things because your wedding is far from ordinary. This does not mean you need to break the bank with wedding DJ prices, but see what options are really worth the cost. The typical wedding DJ cost can vary from $450-$1200, and be dependant upon the amount of time your event is and miles of travel for the DJ. In the short term the wedding DJ price will be a factor in your budget, and in the long term 80% of the success of your wedding is based on the entertainment. If you want to have a great time, you will interview multiple companies.
At 800DJ, our recommendation: Stay away from the cheapest, don’t go with the most expensive and do not hire anyone that is simply average.
To choose a DJ for your reception day requires a great amount of time and dedication. your reception DJ should have songs for all kinds of people to make them happy and enjoy your reception.
Sometimes it may be difficult to judge the mood of the audience as there are different types of people at every party. Keep the latest music with you and listen to all kinds of radio stations to get a wide range of music.
