What are the things that are important?

What makes the difference between an easy stress-free experience for the Host and a nightmare?

What makes the difference between a memorable event people talk about for months and a ho-hum event that is forgotten by the next week?

As the host:

First, you are in charge. Always. You control the music, the volume, the tempo, the lighting levels, the activities, the start and stop times, everything.

When you are planning a special event you only get one chance to get it right. If things go wrong it usually happens at the worst possible time.

You want someone that shows up on time, every time. You want someone who does what they say they'll do and provides the services that you have contracted for. No excuses, no problems, just simple delivery.

You want a dj with professional, dependable equipment. You want a dj that has backup equipment on-site for large events so that in the rare case something does fail the party still goes on.

You want a professional service provider that does what he says. Period. End of story.

As the guest: You want a dj with a good selection of music that can respond to the mood of the crowd with music that makes you want to jump out of your chair and dance. You want a dj that will play music you've heard before and who will listen to your requests.

You want a dj with a powerful sound system and dynamic, exciting lights that help you get excited about the music. After all, you're here to enjoy yourself. Let the music motivate you.

You want an interactive dj who knows how to relate to the crowd. This is a collaborative experience. The more everyone participates the better the experience for all. A good dj can help motivate the crowd and get people dancing and enjoying themselves. When the rest of the crowd is having fun it's easier for you to have fun too.
