Hi guys! Fi and I have a meeting with a DJ that has been highly recommended by a member of the wedding party. The owner of this DJ company has experience with well known and highly rated DJ companies in our area - so we know they (at the very least the owner) has experience. Anyway - we have a meeting with him on Tuesday night, and he said he will make sure to answer all of our questions - so here are the ones I know to ask:
What is the package/whats included?
Ceremony - additional or not?
Equipment - will it work w/ the venue - does he coordinate that?
Uplighting?
Will you emcee for us?
How do you handle breaks - what music will be playing?
Anything you require of us?
What add-ons are available?
Any additional costs the might be incurred?
How will you handle song requests?
Do you require a must play/can't play list? Will you honor it?
What is your DJing style?
Do you feel confident in "playing the crowd"?
How do we book with you? What is the deposit?
Is there a contract?
When is the final bill due? Certain % due by certain times?
Basically - what questions am I missing and are there any questions you wished you had asked?
ETA - we will provide the DJ with a meal and seat him wherever he prefers to be sat.
