Reliability

First of all you want someone who is reliable. There is nothing worse than your DJ not showing up on your wedding day, party or event because there simply won’t be a party if your DJ is going to let you down.  Ask around; get recommendations from friends & family. Have they had good experiences with DJs before? They might be able to recommend someone that will do a great job!

Back up

Make sure back up DJs and equipment are included in the services you are offered. No one wants to be let down, but there might occur a situation where your DJ can’t make it whether because of illness or breakdown of transport or equipment. A professional DJ or DJ agency will always offer you back up.

Make sure your DJ has mixing skills and a large music library. A good DJ is capable of mixing tracks of different genres together seamlessly. With good mixing skills comes a great party. Anyone can put some music on but you book a professional DJ for making the music float nicely as this makes the atmosphere. Another very important ingredient is reading the crowd. A professional will have no problem to get people up and dancing in no time, and keep them there.
