Most people have never hired a professional DJ, and there seems to be a lot of choices, so how do you go about choosing one? This isn't an easy question to answer, but here are some thoughts. Think about how important your event is to you and your guests. Ask yourself "How important is it things go well the first time?" Often a person needs to meet with several companies to get a feel for who will meet their needs, and who will fall short.

Here are some tips, please contact us if you have more questions on choosing a dj company.

The following statistics are based on surveys taken by Ultimatewedding.com, Modern Bride, Martha Stuart Weddings, TheKnot.com, and St. Louis Bride & Groom Magazine:

• 4% to 6% is the amount most brides reserve for their entertainment budget.
• When asked, 81% of guests say the thing they remember most about a wedding is the entertainment.
• Within one week after their reception, 78% of Brides say they would have made the entertainment their highest priority.
• The entertainment chosen for a wedding or party is responsible for 80% of the events' success.

When hiring a DJ, be sure to ask about the following:

• Insurance - a must have for all professional entertainment companies.
• Backup Equipment - if there is a problem, the dj has to be able to make sure that it doesn't stop the party, and that the guests continue having a good time.
• Experience - make sure to contact references. We will be happy to provide you with a list of references for you to contact.
• Professionalism - many dj's have the look, but lack the ability and charge accordingly. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
