What to look for when hiring a professional DJ

I'm sure most people have heard that a good or bad DJ can make or break (as in ruin) just about any event. So it really pays to do your homework and know what to look for when you go shopping around for a DJ for your special event.

It never ceases to amaze me that most folks will pay more attention to, and be willing to spend more money on, other aspects of a typical event; such as catering, photographers, venues, chair covers...etc.
But when it comes to the DJ; the source of entertainment; the person that is going to be responsible for all the announcements, introductions, and overall tempo of the event; it becomes almost an afterthought. 
Some people will try to save money on a DJ after already spending so much on everything else.

  BIG MISTAKE!!!     YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!!  
A good wedding DJ should control & direct most of that focus not at himself, but towards the Bride & Groom. After all, it is their day and the very reason why everyone is there to begin with; therefore they should be the focus of all the attention .

REMEMBER, a DJ will be performing for about 5 HOURS,  so choose wisely

So do yourself a favor, do your homework and know exactly what it is your looking for in a DJ for your special event. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of any help in advising or planning for your event.
