Important questions to consider before hiring your DJ:
DID YOU RECEIVE A CONTRACT? Many companies will provide you with the contract only when you are ready to book. It is imperative that you receive any contracts when you initially meet with your DJ. This way you can review them before you make a decision. (Ron will provide you with all paperwork during the consultation)
IS THE PRICE BASED ON THE TYPICAL 5-HOUR PACKAGE ? Most DJs have a 4 or 5-hour package. This is because most DJs spend little more than those hours planning and preparing for your wedding. Professional full-time DJs invest dozens of hours in the planning process customizing and personalizing each wedding. (Depending on the package you choose, Ron's time commitment per wedding is 20 to 50 hours)
IS THE DJs NAME ON THE CONTRACT ? Beware of the "Bait And Switch". This popular practice happens when you sign on with a company and they send someone you have never met to be your DJ on wedding day. Meet your DJ, and get it in writing that they are guaranteed to be at your wedding. (Ron guarantees himself at every wedding)
IS THE DJ A MASTER OF CEREMONIES ? It is important to know that most DJs are not Master of Ceremonies - they are announcers. Remember, the person you hire as your DJ is also your spokesperson and will be representing you to your guests. (Ron is one of only six certified Master of Ceremonies in Colorado)
ARE YOUR PHONE CALLS RETURNED PROMPTLY ? As with any business or service, this is a great way to determine if you are dealing with a professional. (Ron returns all phone calls and e-mails promptly)
IS THE DJ A FULL-TIME PROFESSIONAL ? Unlike most other wedding service providers like photographers, florists, and caterers who operate their businesses as a profession, the vast majority of DJs do what they do on a part-time basis. In fact, less than 5% do this as a career. (Ron has been a full-time disc jockey for more than 20 years)
DOES THE DJ HAVE A WRITTEN MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE ? Few DJs will guarantee little more than showing up on time and spinning some tunes for a few hours. Look at your contract and determine what your liability will be if the DJ does not deliver the services promised. (Ron provides all his clients with a Money-Back Guarantee)
WILL THE DJ DIRECT YOUR RECEPTION FROM START TO FINISH ? Most DJs just play music and do very little in regards to keeping the reception running smoothly. What skills and experience does your DJ have to coordinate a great reception? (Ron will inform, guide, and direct your guests through all stages of your reception)
HAS THE DJ SHARED UNIQUE IDEAS AND SUGGESTIONS ? A professional DJ should be able to not only play great dance music, but also give you suggestions to help make your wedding stand out from all the rest. (Contact Ron today to set up a no obligation consultation where he can explain more about the unique services he offers and their value)
Don't make the same mistake these unfortunate couples did. Devote at least as much time to finding a PROFESSIONAL Disc Jockey / Master Of Ceremonies as you are on finding the right venue, caterer, photographer, and attire. Don't let your wedding end up on YouTube!
