Want to know what your guests think of the difference between a DJ and a Wedding Entertainments specialist? Here is an email I received recently from a guest at a wedding where I provided the entertainment,

Dear Mr. Hatch,

My name is Dr.xxxx xxxxxxxxxx  and I had the pleasure of seeing and hearing your work while attending the C/S wedding several weeks ago outside Boston. I am currently organizing our annual Holiday Party for the HOSPITAL NAME WITHELD (The Bride - works with us there) and wanted to inquire about your prices and availability....

... A number of us from the department liked your work at Andrea and Tom's wedding and were hopeful that you would be available for this event...

Your guests will remember your entertainment.  What will that memory be?  Be sure to hire a Professional Wedding DJ. Protect your investment and enjoy your reception.

The above email was edited to respect the privacy of the sender and his event.

What to expect from a Professional Wedding DJ service in Syracuse

• Do you use professional pro audio gear? What are some of the brand names you use?
  The DJ tells you name brands that you can buy at the local electronic store (Best Buy, Circuit City etc. ) chances are they are not using pro audio gear. Home Hi-Fi gear is not made to hold up to the demands of repeat performances of professional use.

• Do you provide back up gear in case of an emergency?
  Chances are nothing will happen at your event, but if it does, is your DJ prepared to trouble shoot the problem? Do they have back-up equipment on location to get the party back on track? (They should have extra cables, fuses, basic tools, CD player, amplifier, mixer, etc.).

• Ask them if their DJ service is insured?
  If the service is professional and reputable, they will be insured. Most professional Syracuse DJ services will at least have liability insurance for $1,000,000. Some will also have their equipment insured.

• Are we guaranteed the DJ of our choice the day of the event?
  Some Syracuse DJ companies have more than one DJ working for them. While the company may have been in business for years, your DJ may have been hired last week, so be sure who you are getting. Most companies have references on the specific DJ who will be assigned to your event.

• How many years of experience do you have?
  This is a commonly asked question. The question should be how many events have you performed at? A seasoned Syracuse Wedding DJ will have performed at hundreds of events.

• May we call three of your references?
  A good DJ service keeps current references. The list that they provide for you should have at least ten or more names and not be more than six months old. This is a good indicator of the quality you can expect. If you are not comfortable with calling strangers, ask if they have any banquet halls, photographer, or video services that recommend them. Most banquet halls, photographers and videographers work with a lot of different DJ services every weekend.

• How will you be dressed?
  Specify the type of apparel that your Syracuse Wedding Disc Jockey is expected to wear for your occasion. Formal attire or coat & tie are the most popular forms of attire. If you are having a "themed" event, make sure your entertainer is informed.

• How early will you be Set-Up?
  Most professional Syracuse wedding DJ services like to have the opportunity to do a sound and light check before any guests arrive. The last thing you want is a DJ hauling equipment through your receiving line and or guests.

• Ask if they allow requests from you and your guests?
  It's really up to you.  If you want to choose all of the music then we will create a night that features your favorite songs and artists.  If you want to make sure that your guests hear some of their favorites while maintaining your desired vibe the DJ should be able to make that happen. The best Syracuse DJs will take requests form the audience and work them into their sets. No one should ever expect the DJ to play every request. An excellent DJ blends requests with songs using your direction that will get your guests up and moving.

•  

  Do you provide a written contract?
  It is extremely important to have your booking confirmed in writing . Ask for a written agreement, especially if you are paying an initial retainer. The standard initial payment for entertainment services is 25%. If you are expecting a specific entertainer, make sure you get it in writing as well.
