Advice for Booking a Local DJ

Booking a DJ needn't be a daunting prospect. Our tips below give a guideline to what you should expect and questions to ask of your DJ.

Insist on your booking being confirmed in writing and both parties signing the form. Check the day, date, timings and service are as you agreed. Always read the DJ's terms and conditions.

Mobile Disco Entertainment with AMPdjCheck with your venue that sufficient time has been allowed for your DJ to set up before your event and pack away at the end. Also ask your DJ how long he requires. Set up times vary from DJ to DJ, often depending on the services you have booked and the amount of equipment your DJ is supplying.

For deposits, booking fees and any advance payments, ensure you have a receipt.

Read the small print of your venue contract carefully. Many insist that your DJ has PLI (Public Liability Insurance) and all of their equipment has PAT (Portable Appliance Test) Certificates (see below).

Ask your DJ if they carry back up equipment.

Ask your DJ what would happen if they were unable to attend your function. Many DJs operate in a network of local DJs who they are able to call on in cases of crisis.

AMPdj members bring the music to youTell your DJ what atmosphere you want to create at your party, the type of music you and your guests like and the age of your guests. The more information you give your DJ, the better the party will be.

Prices vary greatly between individual companies - it is recommended that your final decision is influenced more by the service provided and it being compatible with your requirements, than price alone.

What these terms mean ...
