If you're only comparing hours and dollars, you must
begin by assuming, incorrectly, that all DJs are exactly alike, and the
cheapest one is the best value. Unfortunately, most people who "go cheap,"
and have a nightmare experience with their DJ, end up assuming (also
incorrectly) that all DJs are equally bad.
if your DJ is bad, he's the only thing your guests
will remember about your party, and all your careful planning will go to
waste.

Planning
tips to Find your DJ
Many people think that a Dj is a DJ
and they are all pretty much the same - how wrong
they are.
DJs come in all shapes and sizes and
quality, but the over riding factor is that most DJs
are not quality controlled by anyone.
A DJ working from home may be good or
may not be, or may have good equipment or not.
How do you the consumer tell?
We have set up this Company to stop
all your worries and fears, in that all the Disc
Jockeys listed on this site and affiliated with us
have gone through rigorous testing and quality
controls, background checks, equipment checks and
reference checks, thus making sure you do not have
to worry about the unknown.
Many people judge a DJ on price alone
finding the cheapest one and going with that deal -
unfortunately the first consideration factors have
been overlooked, and you should not book on price as
the first determination.
You need to ask these important
questions first:
1. Do you have Public Liability
Insurance Mr. DJ?
2. Can you supply recent references
of clients for me to contact?
3. Do you have any other vendor
references I can contact?
4. Do you have back up equipment in
case of failure - this must be written in any
contract.
5. Do you have AAA breakdown services
or similar in case of transport problems?
6. Do you charge extra fees and
taxes?
7. What is the value of your services
in descriptive words?
8. Have you ever had any complaints?
9. What format of music do you use -
MP3, DVD, CD or tapes?( Tapes and MP3's are the
lowest quality - best is CD or DVD quality)
10. Do you provide a guarantee?
11. Do you provide a contract and
what is the deposit and final payment terms?
