Top Tips For Choosing A Party DJ San Antonio

By Mona Diaz


DJs have replaced bands as the source for dance music at a party or event. It is important to find the right musical host to keep guests engaged and enjoying the gathering. Here are the simple steps to hiring a party DJ San Antonio or in any other town.

Get referrals from friends and family who have had good experiences. The internet is a great resource. Most DJs have a website about their experience and style that can help screen potential candidates.

Meet in person with at least three choices. In addition to asking questions about music choices and options and equipment, ask them to do a 5 minute music set. This audition will help making the final choice and set expectations for the event itself.

Three: See the DJ in action. Ask to attend an event and be a harsh critic. See how he or she is dressed, handles the crowd, selects the music, and overall performance.

Four: Select and schedule. Once a decision is made, book the top choice as soon as possible. A good DJ will book up several months in advance. Many have limited availability up to six months ahead of time.

Five: Contract signing. Go over the contract carefully and double check fees, dates, venues and obligations. All these should be listed in the contract and if not, insist they be added.

Check-in a few weeks ahead of the date to make sure the event is still on the schedule and there are no problems. Better safe than sorry. It will also give some time to get a backup just in case.

Live music is nice, but hiring a party DJ San Antonio provides a wider variety of styles at a more affordable price. Keep these tips in mind when hiring and the music will be the least of one's worries.
