It does not matter what kind of credentials or references a DJ company has because it does not guarantee that it will be a success. Make sure you meet the person that will be the DJ at your reception. When you are meeting them ask them how many shows they have done and how long they have been with the company.
Get a contract
Getting a contract is essential. In the contract you will need to have the cost, location of the event, date, time, name of the DJ, and any reasons which the contract will be void. Just make sure everything is in writing.
Know the music
This is the most important day of your life so make sure you get what you want. Tell the DJ what kind of music you would like to be played and in some cases what order. Remember the DJ is working for you not the other way around so make sure you get what you want. Also you will want to make sure that their music is up to date. Remember your guests also should feel comfortable so make sure the DJ will accept their song requests too.
Most of all make sure the DJ has a back up plan just in case the worst happens because you never know if the equipment will fail.
