"Exceptional DJs aren't cheap - cheap DJs aren't exceptional"

Through the years I have conversed with many people that have had, or have seen a party ruined by an inexperienced and/or unprofessional Disc Jockey. Remember, the music will be one of the most important parts of your party. If the Disc Jockey you hire doesn't have much experience, or you are getting a price too good to be true, he probably has just enough experience to ruin your event. As you may notice the overriding theme of my site is…"you get what you pay for".

I know it can be a challenging task finding the right DJ for your event, especially if you have never done it before. Below you will find an outline that will give you the knowledge you need in choosing the right entertainer for your party. Even if I may not be the right one, this will help you find them.

Remember, YOU CAN'T GO BACK IN TIME AND REDO THAT SPECIAL DAY!
 

So please take your time and really check out whom you are considering hiring.

1) EXPERIENCE
After all the hours of planning, and all the expense of your event, success will come right down to how well your entertainer does his or her job. An Experienced Entertainer will make all the difference in the world towards the final outcome of your event.

2)REFERENCES
I ALWAYS offer current references. This way, you can talk to the people who have used my services RECENTLY and get their unbiased opinion of my performance. Always request ONLY recent references from whomever you are considering hiring. Make sure the reference is for the EXACT DJ you are hiring, not a reference for the COMPANY!! All of my references are for ME, for Weddings where I performed.

3) BACKUP EQUIPMENT
Carrying back-up equipment will insure that THE SHOW WILL GO ON. Lack of a spare Amp or CD Player will mean THE END of entertainment at your event or function.

4) BEWARE OF MIDDLEMEN
Talent Agencies, Booking Agents and some Mobile DJ Companies will book as many parties as they possibly can, knowing they do not have the "ON STAFF" personnel to cover the events. They will then call every independent DJ they can find until they have found enough people to cover the bookings. To these people, quality and professionalism mean nothing. With them the bottom line is the almighty buck. They will often use LESS EXPERIENCED (cheaper) talent to maximize their profits. By dealing directly me, you know exactly WHOM you are booking, and WHAT you will be getting. Now you may find a quality DJ through an agency, but make sure the contract you sign stipulates that THAT DJ will be at your Wedding. Ask them to GUARANTEE that DJ will be at your Wedding.

5) MUSIC RESOURCES
A top-notch Wedding Disc Jockey will always carry a wide variety of music covering all styles of danceable music, from the Big Band Swing Era, right up through the latest dance hits of today. This enables them to cover almost any request they receive from you and your guests. Now, some companies may send you a list or have an on-line list of songs. This does not mean that YOUR DJ will have all of this music with him. I, on the other hand, bring EVERY single song on my lists to every event I do. Many DJ's do not even own their own music. Besides having the music, a DJ must know the music.

6) EXPERIENCE - PROFESSIONALISM - COOPERATION
These are all qualities to look for when choosing your Entertainer. A successful Party is the result of many things coming together, in the right way and, at the right time.

7) CHOOSE CAREFULLY AND WISELY.
I realize that many of you may be hiring a DJ for the first time. I hope this outline will help you select the best possible Professional Entertainer you can find. If you have any questions, or if I can be of any service to you please feel free to contact me at any time. Even if you don't choose me, make sure it is the right person---NOT the cheaper person!!!!!

THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING US.
