My top Tips for Booking a DJ

One of the first things you should look for when choosing a Mobile Disco, is the information which is given in the website. Has the DJ taken time to provide pictures of events, have they written in detail about the services that they provide and taken the time to publicise how long they have been in business, what music they play and any testimonials or professional affiliations they have? What are your first impressions of the DJ and the business they run? Even at this early stage you should trust your instincts.

Another area you should look for is the availability of information, does the DJ clearly advertise their contact information. The next is to contact the proprietor of the Mobile Disco by email or phone, to assess their suitability for your function. Don’t be afraid to ask as many questions which you feel important to you and it is a good idea to either email these or have them written down when you make the call. The DJ is a service provider and will be allowed plenty of time to address any questions or concerns, which their clients may have. Look for discrepancies in areas where the information provided by the DJ doesn’t quite match up with that given on the website

When considering booking a Mobile Disco, you should expect the DJ to play a mixed music selection suitable for all of the age groups attending. At most wedding receptions with family present this usually means a wide and varied evening of music suitable for young and old tastes. Avoid booking any DJ who seems only interested in playing one type of music or who will play music, which may be unsuitable for the age groups in attendance. Ensure that the DJ has a comprehensive music collection and is knowledgeable and confident on all areas of music.

If required your DJ should be able to incorporate a play list, containing your favorite requests. However don’t make this list too long because a lot of DJ’s work by "reading" the dance floor reaction and ensuring continuity of music depending on which types of music the audience is responding to. Since all people and audiences are different and all individuals have different musical tastes, it is impossible to create a play list of music before the actual function with a guarantee that running order will work with your guests.
