For you to choose your Corporate DJs Houston correctly here are a few things you will need to consider.
- Source Potential DJs Wisely: Start by compiling a list of potential DJs from recommendations by friends or events you’ve attended. Be cautious with venues’ recommendations; they can hire budget DJs while charging you premium prices. For example, you can pay over $1,000 while the DJ only earns $400. An experienced, full-time DJ with quality equipment will not be cheap, and hiring a part-time DJ can lead to complications, especially if you need an early setup.
- Meet the DJ in Person: Whenever possible, meet the DJ before hiring them. This meeting will allow you to assess their professionalism, musical preferences, and willingness to cater to your event’s theme and desired music genres.
- Ask for Testimonials: Ask for testimonials or references from recent clients. A seasoned corporate DJ will have a list of events they’ve worked at and can show references to prove their experience.
- Review Their Song Library: Make sure the DJ has a wide range of songs to handle any requests during the event. A diverse music library is crucial to keep the crowd entertained. If you have an 80s Party, makes sure they know the popular music around that era.
- Check Venue Experience: Verify if the DJ has experience playing at your chosen venue. Familiarity with the venue can help navigate potential issues like parking, loading/unloading logistics, sound restrictions, and necessary documentation.
- Confirm Equipment Suitability: Make sure the DJ has the appropriate sound and lighting equipment for your event’s size. Look for a professional setup with a discreet DJ booth that blends well with the event decor and high-quality sound and lighting equipment.
- Enquire About Lighting and Effects: Ask if the DJ can bring lighting and stage effects to enhance your event, regardless of its size.
- Attend a Live Performance: If possible, attend an event where the DJ is performing to gauge their style and professionalism. If attending isn’t possible, ask for video footage from their past performances. Elegante Entertainment, for example, regularly captures video footage of their events such as Holiday Parties and 80s corporate events.
- Provide Clear Expectations: Share a detailed list of your expectations, including the event schedule, setup times, and location specifics. Consider traffic conditions in Houston when planning the DJ’s arrival time to make a stress-free setup.
- Have a Contract: Always have a written contract to outline all agreements and prevent any misunderstandings on the event day.
The ideal corporate DJ is flexible and can read the crowd’s energy, keeping the event lively and ensuring everyone has a great time. Elegante Entertainment has successfully provided DJ services for various corporate clients, ensuring memorable and engaging events.
