Because there are all kinds of DJs listed on the internet, you must be VERY CAREFUL when searching for the DJ/Emcee that will be right for your wedding reception or special celebration. You see, there are very few DJs who are true Professionals and unfortunately due to the easy access of obtaining illegal music through downloading off of the internet, there are many who  CLAIM to be a Professional DJ/MC. Many of these DJs who are not truly a Professional will usually tell you what you want to hear and may very well promise you much more than what they will actually deliver. Your wedding reception can never be relived again and therefore it should not be compromised because of price. Yes, it is possible to find a $300.00 DJ for your wedding reception for the simple reason that they are all over the map. But, consider these facts that are based upon the average price that the average Wedding Couple will spend for their Wedding Day.

Please be sure to check out my Interesting Facts Page before leaving my website. I am sure that you may want to consider the above facts and the interesting facts that have been published in many Bridal Magazines.

However with all of the above said, before you make your final entertainment decision, there are a few questions that you should ask your potential DJ/MC. I urge you to really listen to their answers, their attitude and take notes. I would love to be a part of your special day, but should you decide on another company, I would like to say good luck! Remember that I guarantee what I say in writing as stated on my website.

IMPORTANT QUESTIONS YOU SHOULD ASK ARE AS FOLLOWS.....
specifically designed for couples who are searching for a DJ/MC for their wedding reception.

1. Do you provide personalized service and can you provide references? If not can you provide references on the DJ/MC who will be assigned to us? Can we meet our assigned DJ/MC or at least see a picture of him/her? Will you guarantee the DJ of our choice and the one who we receive references on? If you guarantee the DJ of our choice and you provide us with another DJ, will you guarantee to refund our money should we be dissatisfied with the DJ who takes the place of the DJ who was promised to us?
2.Do you sub-contract other DJ companies to provide services. If not, will you guarantee in writing that you do not sub-contract out your business to other DJ compaines?
3.Are you a full-time DJ or do you have another source of income?
4.How many years of experience do you have?
5.Can you provide us with at least five current references with contact information? If yes, may we call your references?
6.Do you belong to any professional associations such as The American Disc Jockey Association?
7.Will you allow our guests to make requests?
8.How do you obtain your music? Most professional DJs purchase music from compaines such as Promo Only, ERG Music, etc. 
9.Do you burn music off of the internet? This is illegal for public performance and also distorts sound quality. If you hire a DJ who burns music off of the internet, THEY ARE NOT A TRUE PROFESSIONAL as a true professional will not operate their business illegally. It may not make much difference to you how your potential DJ obtains their music, unless they are caught by agents who search for DJs operating illegally. It would be really bad if they get caught a few weeks before your special day and leave you without a DJ. This has been known to happen.
10.How early will you arrive to setup? Do we pay for setup of your equipment?
11.How will you dress?
12.Are you licensed and fully insured and can you prove it? This is important to protect YOU!
13.Do you use professional equipment? 
14.If you say that lighting is included in your price; can we see a picture of the exact lighting that you will provide us with?
15.Will you guarantee to have a complete backup sound system ONSITE and ready to operate in case of equipment failure.
16.Will you customize our reception to our desires and offer suggestions to add to the success of our reception? What kind of suggestions will you offer?
17.Tell me a few of your ideas or skills that you would use to motivate our guests during our reception?
18.Do you offer any kind of WRITTEN GUARANTEE and if so, what kind of guarantee do you offer?

This is your ONE & ONLY WEDDING DAY. Please use these questions because you may be glad that you did! If you are not planning a wedding reception, the above questions should still be considered for you to ask before making your final entertainment decision.
