6. Does DJ include a contract? Be sure to have all details of your function in writing. The DJ must know date, place, and time! You must know each other's names and phone numbers including DAY of occasion.

7. Is DJ company professional? This may sound silly, but does DJ have insurance? Accidents do happen. It's better to be prepared. Also, is DJ a member of a national DJ association like ADJA or NAME? If they are, then they care about what they do and are a better chance of being professional.

8. What kind of equipment does DJ use? Typically, if a DJ is using a brand of equipment you can buy at your local retail store, then that's what you will get. Excellent brand names include: JBL, Community, Denon, Gemini, QSC, Crown, etc. Always, and I mean always, ask if DJ has back-up equipment WITH them for your function. Also, be sure DJ brings right amount of sound for number of guests expected.

9. What music do you play? How many music selections will DJ have WITH them? Be sure your DJ takes requests before and during your function. Also, give them a guideline of what you want played. However, this is what DJ is paid to do. Don't limit DJ by saying you want all of one kind of music or a list of 100 songs they must play. The best scenario is to play any type of music that gets people dancing and having fun. By way, it should be understood DJ does not play any offensive music.

I hope this helps!
