Top 10 Questions To Ask Your DJ/MC:

• Are you a DJ or MC? Or Both?

  The DJ specialized in making sure that the music is being played at the right moment. MC is the Master Of Ceremonies, the facilitator of the program that you have agreed upon with the company. If they say they do both at the same time, make sure that you are able to ask samples on how he/she interacts with your guests.

• How long have you been an MC or DJ?

  The experience counts a lot on how they can run the reception. Making sure that the entertainers have a lot of experience in various types of events can make or break the continuity of the reception.

• Do you offer a written agreement?

  A written, legal contract is one of the first indicators of whether the DJ/MC is professional and reliable. Furthermore, a contract establishes the DJ/MC obligation to the client and outlines what is required for the DJ/MC success, by outlining his setup requirements and other factors related to his performance.

• What type of equipment do you have?

  It is important that the DJ/MC use a professional grade system. It is not necessarily be the latest model of the year but it should be at least current and in good shape. Lights are optional depending on the package that you choose with your vendor. The MC needs to have at least 2 wireless microphones.

• Are we going to meet before the reception?

  Meeting with your DJ/MC is an integral part of your reception. It should be clear on how many times you are to meet and if they are willing to work with your program.

• Do you require a meal?

  Some of the vendors require that they have the same meal as what your guests have. However, this should not be a requirement. Providing the DJ/MC with food that is hot and prepared well should be enough.

• Do you accept requests and not to play list?

  The DJ should be flexible to the music taste of the party that hired them. The do not play list is there for one reason. The party, bride and groom, the parents don’t want to hear it being played in the reception. The DJ has to know how to decline if requested by a guest in the reception.

• Do you provide list of songs for a particular part of the program?

  The DJ has to be able to give suggestions on the songs that can be played for example in the “First Dance” etc. It can be a list of 3-5 songs for each part of the reception.

• What do you wear during the reception?

  It all depends on the theme of the party or what type of event. Normally, the DJ/MC should wear a formal suit or tux for a formal event. For a more informal type of event, they should be able to let you know beforehand the outfit that they will wear that day.

• Will you provide references?

  The company should be able to give you references showing that they are confident of their past work and their past customers can testify how well the DJ/MC provided service to them. If the DJ/MC is reluctant in providing references, then something funny might have happened before.
