You should expect to get a call back or an email back within 24 hours. Many DJ’s are out working and may not be able to return your call within an hour or two.

Will the DJ try to meet with you soon, or is he/she just trying to book the date sight unseen? Is their material neat and professional looking, and is their presentation organized and informative?

It seems that the DJ is often the last service chosen, after much of the budget is expended on a venue, food and clothing. This often leads brides and party planners to shop for the cheapest price possible because of a lack of resources. This often backfires when holding out for the lowest price. However, if you have adhered to the guiding principals noted here, you will know to avoid services that have a rock bottom price because they will not be able to display the level of quality, professionalism and attention to detail that Taylored Entertainment believes EVERY client deserves!

You should consider your DJ service an insurance policy that ensures that all of the other money you spend will not result in bad memories or a less than enjoyable occasion. You do get what you pay for – Good entertainment is NOT cheap, and cheap entertainment is NOT good!!  Your entertainment should be considered an investment, an investment in the memories you and your guests will have for for years to come!   And yet many people will pay far more for a cake, flowers, or food than they will for the most crucial ingredient at a party – the music. A good rule of thumb is $12.00 – $18.00 per guest for an experienced professional DJ.

Remember good entertainment isn’t expensive….it’s priceless!

This is THE most common complaint about the DJ industry today. The person you meet turns out NOT to be the person that actually does your show. 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.

There is NOTHING worse in the world than having to do business with someone you do not like. Choosing the person who “feels” right is the most important factor in picking the right entertainer for your party or reception. The DJ you choose should be very open about what he/she can do for you and should volunteer information and “show” you that knowledge base.

In some fashion, you the client, need to be assured that the DJ you hire not only has a sizeable collection, but has a variety of music, especially for wedding receptions, where many different styles of music and guests will be in the same room together.

If the DJ does not have pictures of his or her gear, you should ask to set up a time to see the equipment or see pictures of the DJ’s set up. The DJ should be able to tell you what he/she uses and characterize the equipment as professional grade.

Also, ask the DJ if they bring back-up equipment.  If they don't, nothing kills a party quicker than equipment failing.  Make sure the DJ you choose has back-up eqipment on site, just in case!

 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 your DJ to plan your event is of paramount importance to a successful event such as a wedding reception.
