Hiring wedding vendors can be a very daunting task. Hiring your Wedding DJ should not be so frightening. After all, the DJ is supposed to be the fun part of a wedding!

Interview Your DJ
When you take the time to meet in person, you have the opportunity to get to know the DJ up close and personal, and you should be able to make a much more informed decision based on his presentation or “pitch” as well as his appearance, his demeanor, and the all-important “Vibe” or gut feeling you get from him.

Here are some questions you should ask a DJ before signing the contract:

1. 1. Are you available for my date?
   2. Will you be the DJ for my event?
   3. Will you also Emcee my event?
   4. Do you provide all the sound equipment needed?
