These are just a few of the things to look for when hiring a professional DJ company. For most brides this is the 1st time they have encountered hiring a DJ. Naturally the first question will be "what is your Price? " As a professional DJ it is hard to convey our services to the digital bride. I can not tell you how many times I have heard about a brides brother or friend that has an ipod and can DJ the most important day of there life.
A professional DJ will coordinate your event, show up at least 2 hours early, let you choose your music, give your bridal party direction, give microphone training for important toasts, meet with the venue captain or coordinator prior to your event, type out your itinerary, use current professional equipment, offer you many options, (video montages, lighting, Love Story) and most important they will give you awesome customer service.
A good judge of a company is there website, blog and references. If you have any questions or need assistance we are here to help.
