How to throw a memorable party

Here’s a quick guide to hosting your own party. I’ve included links with additional information wherever possible.

FAQs

How much experience do you have with weddings?

Weddings are a specialized area of DJing. They require not only skill at playing the right music at the right time but also working with the couple before and during the event, managing the timeline (so that things happen when they’re supposed to happen), and working with other professionals (making sure, for example, the champagne is poured before the toast, or checking to see the photographer is in the room and ready to take pictures of the cake cutting).

If we book you, will you be the DJ at my event?

This trend has been growing as DJ companies get bigger and as the Internet has grown. It’s unfortunate that many companies send out DJs sight (and skills) unseen.

Will you play music we provide?

This is a complicated question, especially in light of illegal music downloading. Any DJ should be able to play what you provide, as long as it’s in the right format. A good DJ will already have the song you’re looking for or buy it for you. Some will even let you plug your iPod right into their system; I personally discourage that, because I can control things better with CDs or through my laptop.

What about requests?

Your DJ should sit down with you ahead of time and plan out all your requests as well as discussing a do-not-play list. Do you love the Chicken Dance or hate it? What about guest requests?
