5 Vital Factors to Consider Before Hiring a Disc Jockey

Posted by alexstephen on November 19th, 2015

Hiring a disc jockey is a common practice in most of the Indian weddings. Finding, interviewing and hiring a wedding DJ in London needs you to ask the right questions to gauge the professionalism, reliability and honesty of any Indian wedding DJ. This requires some research beforehand the interview process. Here is a list of factors to ensure before hiring any wedding DJ.

  • The first thing you need to ensure is that you are meeting the person who will be your DJ at the wedding day. In large agencies often the person you speak with is not the specific DJ. This does not make any sense as you will not be able to understand whether you are comfortable working with the specific DJ or not. The only way to guarantee that you will be the receiving the service of the DJ you had discussion with is to expect the individual DJ’s name specified in the contract.
  • Most wedding DJs will attempt to conduct telephonic interviews or via email. When a disc jockey is hesitant for a face-to-face meeting, you better be careful. There are two reasons a DJ would do this – either they have something to hide or they think you are not worth their time. In either of the cases, the particular disc jockey is not a best match. It is practically impossible to evaluate unless you meet the person personally. So, insist on meeting face-to-face.
  • Some deejays work for different agencies and also accept bookings directly. You can perform an Internet research to find out whether your Indian wedding DJ in London is available independently or through numerous agencies. If you chose a DJ who subcontracts for several agencies, then he should be able to explain his obligation to the agency you have chosen and what will happen if he leaves that agency. If you do not confirm this before then you might face bigger problems.
  • Do not forget to ask your DJ about the time period for which they had been a DJ and the number of weddings they have done. While some perform only for a few events, some with half as many years in the industry might have many times as many weddings under his belt. So, both the answers are vital piece of information to get an ideal about their level of experience.
  • Any professional Indian wedding DJ should be able to answer what makes them different from others. This answer will help you understand the level of service you can expect from your DJ.

Keep these factors in mind before signing a contract.
