Tips For Mobile DJ Hire

When it comes to Mobile DJ hire you want a quality provider who will make your event fun. The Mobile DJ is exactly what the name suggests. He, or she, turns up at your event with his own music and equipment and provides the entertainment you want.

Always make sure the DJ has the music you want and will be able to play a selection on the night. You will have to discuss with him whether he will take requests from the floor or will he play a set program.

Check out the experience they have. Some DJs specialize in weddings, and may struggle with your Line dancing 20th anniversary reunion party. It seems obvious, but the music that is played (or more importantly isn't played) has a huge effect on the overall atmosphere of the evening. If possible try and see them in action to get a real feel for their personal style.

Check out the equipment the use, make sure it is professional and in good condition. One of the best levels of comfort a Mobile DJ can is to tell you he also has some back up equipment in case something goes wrong.

Set out what your dress requirements are and if the DJ can bring observers. It is common sense again, but it pays to be clear. Also be clear from the outset if you expect them to talk to the crowd or not and do MC roles. Some are comfortable doing so, others not.

Check the Mobile DJ hired will be the DJ on the night. Sometimes people get booked up and send along sub-contractors.

Be clear who is going to be the point of contact for the night. Often at committee functions and family functions a number of chiefs try to take control at different times. For everyone's benefit make sure the DJ and the participants know who is giving the orders.

Get the important details in writing. A contract will protect both parties should anything go wrong. Setting things out in black and white is one of the most common things people forget when organizing Mobile DJ hire. This is also the place to set out the hours the Mobile is supposed to play for and what happens if overtime is required.

A mobile DJ may be a new thing for you. Make sure you think through the points above and you should be well on your way to a party success.
