Agency strongly recommends that you ask the following questions of
any Production Company that you are considering hiring: |
1. 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. |
2. 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. |
3. Do you
use Professional Equipment?
Ask whether your prospective Disc Jockey works with professional
audio equipment. If you are not sure, ask for their equipment list
and check with a local music dealer or the A.D.J.A. or N.A.M.E. to
verify they are using professional-grade sound gear. |
4. Do you provide backup equipment at my event?
Although equipment failure is rare, do you really want your
special occasion ruined because your Disc Jockey did not come prepared?
It is also important to know if your Disc Jockey has a back-up plan
in case of illness or an accident. Members of the A.D.J.A. or N.A.M.E.
have many resources available to them in case of an emergency.
Booking a reliable Disc Jockey is a very important decision for
the success of your party. Selecting a Disc Jockey who is an active
member of the American Disc Jockey Association will provide you
with the confidence that you have selected a trained professional.
A.D.J.A. or N.A.M.E. members are more likely to be involved with
other Disc Jockey's who can help them out with an unexpected situation.
|
5. 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. |
6. 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. |
7. 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. |
8. 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.
