Whether or not you go with us, or another company, when looking for a disc jockey, you should ask the following questions as recommended from the American Disc Jockey Association.

1. Are you available? Check to see if your day and time is available. If not, ask them to recommend other companies.
   
   
2. How much do you charge? Be certain that you understand all of the charges. Remember, you get what you pay for and the most expensive is not necessarily the best.
   
   
3. Can we meet in person? Reputable companies will be willing to meet with you to discuss your event further and to share more information on the services they provide.
   
   
4. Are you insured? Can you supply me with proof of liability? Many responsible business owners carry liability insurance to protect their businesses and the consumer. Many locations are beginning to require proof of liability. Ask for proof of liability insurance. Disc Jockey's receive a Certificate of Liability which can be used as proof.
   
   
5. Will you be willing to play requests and discuss music ahead of time? A versatile Disc Jockey is willing to listen to your suggestions, give you feedback and play from your desired song list. A professional Disc Jockey will also accept the fact you may not want certain songs played. A professional Disc Jockey cannot know everything about your musical preferences and entertainment needs without communication.
   
   
6. Do you use Professional Equipment? Ask whether your prospective Disc Jockey works with professional audio equipment. Remember that professional gear does not guarantee an entertainer's talent or service level, but is simply a tool for building an exceptional event.
   
   
7. Does the Disc Jockey know the proper etiquette for your type of party? A professional Disc Jockey will assist you with the planning of your special day. Most professional entertainers will coordinate, emcee and provide the music that you desire. Ask if they have experience with your type of event. Ask if they have master of ceremonies experience. This is especially important for wedding receptions.
   
   
8. How much time do you allow for set-up? Punctuality is a necessity. Most Disc Jockey's arrive at least one hour prior to the start time you've given them. Your entertainer should ideally be setup and in-place before your first guest walks through the door.
   
   
9. Do you provide a written contract? It is extremely important to have your booking confirmed in writing. Ask for a written agreement, especially if you are paying an initial retainer. The standard initial payment for entertainment services is 50%. If you are expecting a specific entertainer, make sure you get it in writing as well.
   
   
10. Do you provide a written schedule of events or Wedding Planner guide to ensure a smooth
    flowing wedding ceremony and reception?
    
    
11. Will you be suitably dressed for our occasion? Specify the type of apparel that your Disc Jockey is expected to wear for your occasion. Formal attire or coat & tie are the most popular forms of attire. If you are having a "themed" event, make sure your entertainer is informed.
    
    
12. Do you belong to a professional organization or trade group? Although belonging to an organization or trade group does not guarantee the talent or professionalism of a disc jockey, it may indicate the companies willingness to network, learn and grow. Disc jockeys can learn through local chapter meetings, national DJ conventions and seminars geared toward the entertainment professional.
