6. Will the DJ offer to meet with you AFTER signing the contract to plan your event?
A professional DJ is ALWAYS willing to discuss your event at any time before the event starts, and should display the flexibility to accommodate changes and help you solve problems.
Meeting or phone/ video conferencing your DJ to plan your event is of paramount importance to a successful event such as a wedding reception.
7. Will the person that you interview be the person that will perform at your event?
This is THE most common complaint about the DJ industry today.
The person you meet turns out NOT to be the person that actually does your show.
Often, you are not made aware of this.
Ask the DJ you interview if he/she will be the actual person performing, or will someone else perform the event.
You need to know this UP FRONT before you sign a contract.
