Having the right music at your reception is essential to setting the mood, and making sure people have fun.

Following are the important aspects that need to be answered

1) Experience
- How long have they been in business and are they willing to provide you with recent references?
- If you are hiring for a wedding reception, you might want to ask how much of their business is wedding related and are they knowledgeable about wedding etiquette. Are they flexible enough to accommodate your special requests?

2) Face to Face Meeting
- Are they willing to meet with you and discuss your likes and dislikes, both musically and otherwise?
- Can they be easily reached for last minute additions, changes and suggestions?

3) Legal Business with Proper Insurance Protection
- Are they legally registered or incorporated? Are they covered by insurance in the event of an accident?

4) Contract
- Will they provide you with a written contract that spells the details of your agreement?

5) Proper Dress
- Will they arrive in appropriate apparel, especially if your event requires formal attire? There should be no additional charge for this.
