What are good questions to ask a DJ?

Before hiring a DJ, asking the right questions ensures a smooth planning process and a successful event. Here are some essential questions to ask:

What type of events do you DJ?
Every DJ has a favorite gig that they love to perform at; however, you want to be sure that your DJ has experience with many different kinds of people and events. The experience of working with various events means they are skilled in handling any problems that may arise.

If you’re looking for an experienced wedding DJ or a DJ to emcee your next corporate event, Complete Weddings + Events has you covered!

How do you get a crowd excited?
Some parties need a high-energy personality, and some require a more formal one. So which one is best for your event? If you are looking for a certain feel, then your DJ needs to be able to adapt to the circumstances while keeping the guests engaged.

How do you handle song requests?
Everyone has that favorite song that makes them want to dance. We all know that will translate into a song request. So how does your DJ handle this? Are they planning to ask you about each request or will they use their own judgment? Maybe they stick strictly to the playlist you picked, or maybe they let a few sneak through. Make sure this is something that you and your event DJ talk about so that you are sure no wild surprises are popping up at your event.

Who will be there and do you have a backup?
If you are working with a larger special event DJ company, you may find your event assigned a DJ that you’re not familiar with. You should want to know who will be at your event so you know what to expect. Also important is finding out what their backup plan is, in case your DJ can’t make it or another unexpected change crops up.

What other services do you offer?
DJs are artists with music, and that means that they love to add a few extras to enhance the experience that their music brings. Sometimes that is special lighting, HD video screens, or other fun effects on your wedding day like Complete Interactive. With so many extra options, know what your DJ can provide to make your event one-of-a-kind.

Do I own the rights to my photos?

Yes! We include the print release so you own your photos and are encouraged to download, print and share!
We also offer a convenient online store where you can purchase professional quality products like albums, wall art or prints.

When will my photographer contact me to discuss the final details of my event?

Your photographer will contact you approx. 21 days before your event to get to know you and finalize the day together. That will include discussing the locations, timing and all other important details.

Can I provide a playlist for my DJ?

Yes! You can provide your own playlist (Tidal, YouTube, Spotify, Apple, Amazon, etc.) and we will be happy to mix in your favorite songs!
