There’s a lot of DJs in Salt Lake City, Utah. That’s why we’ve made this short guide, “Tips For Hiring A DJ”, to help decide the right company for you.
- Promptness return of your phone calls or Emails. Does the DJ company you are thinking about hiring answer your inquires and messages quickly? You should expect to get an email or call back within 24 hours.
- Willingness to meet in person. So much of our business is conveniently conducted online, but sometimes meeting in person is nice. Is the DJ willing to meet with you or at least schedule a video conference?
- Do you LIKE the person that shows up? There’s NOTHING worse than having to do business with someone you do not like. The DJ you hire will be the voice of your event. Hire someone you jive with.
- Does the DJ have experience at your type of event? You need to be assured that the DJ you hire has experience performing at your type of event, especially for wedding receptions, where many different styles of music and guests will be in the same room together.
- Does the DJ use professional grade equipment? The DJ should be able to tell you what he/she uses and characterize the equipment as professional grade.
- 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.
- Will the person that you interview be the person that will perform at your event? This is THE top complaint about the DJ industry today. The person you meet turns out NOT to be the person that actually does your event. 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.
