What should I look for in a Disc Jockey?
PROFESSIONALISM
First and foremost you should select a DJ that you are comfortable with who projects a professional attitude. Simply put, you really need to meet your DJ in person. This way you can ensure that their personality matches with your occasion and they will put you, their customer, first. Meeting your DJ will also give you a chance to discuss your requirements. How the DJ responds to your needs will give you a good indication of their ability to handle your occasion.
Your Panache Entertainment DJ will meet with you weeks before your event. The night of your celebration, your DJ will arrive in formal attire (or as you request), on time, and handle your evening with unmatched professionlism.
STYLE
You will also want to select a DJ that is appropiate for your event. Dj's are usually either club DJ's or mobile DJs, occasionally both. A club DJ plays on the house system at a nightclub and will usually specialize one or two types of music ( rock,hip-hop, reggae, ska, country & western, etc;) If you are a nightclub, bar, or restaurant owner/manager with a powerful in-house sound system, this is the DJ for you.
A mobile DJ service is tailored for private events such as corporate celebrations, weddings and parties, where a broad range of musical styles is necessary to please a wide range of guests. Mobiel DJs also have their own sound system and music CDs and bring them to your event as part of their service. This means that you will only need to make one call to take care of your music. If you are planning a private event at a banquet or party facility, the mobile DJ is expert at pleasing a diverse crowd of varying ages and musical tastes.
DO THEY MEET MY NEEDS?
After deciding on what style of DJ you need, you will want toasess their ability to meet your needs
(also know as "are they good? and can I afford them ?) Here are a few considerations to help you answer these two questions.
"Are they good?" First, you mustremember that a good DJ is a fine musician in the same way as an orchestra cnductor. A conductor " plays" the orchestra as his intrument by developing the music throughout the concert, the same waya good DJ plays his equipment to develop your evening into a successful celebration. Remember, you are investing in your DJ's ability to read a crowd and play "just the right song" at "the right time" for an entire evening. If it were simply a matter of inserting a CD and presing 'Play', you wouldn't need a professional DJ. Your evening is a dynamic event and your DJ will constantly evaluate your crowd, both on the dnce floor and off, to adjust his style, pace, music, lights, volume, and song selections to maximize everyone's enjoyment and make your party a success. A good DJ will be able to successfully play all of your requests and those of your guests while mixing in popular songs that will be a hit with your crowd. This takes musicianship, experience, and knowledge of a broad range of songs and music styles (everything from Big-Band, 50's, oldies, Jazz, and Swing, to Hip-Hop, Hard Rock, Club, Alternative, Filipino Swing and more.) In other words, a good DJ can entertain your six year-old cousin, teeange sister, and 29 year old brother, while knowing just the right waltz, polka, Elvis, or European traditional song to delight your great aunt & uncle from Budapest, while making announcements, takng requests, and helping you set the tone for your evening-no small task.
'Can I afford them?' Or perhaps more appropiately 'Can I affod not to have them?' You need to ask yourself not " how much do they cost" or " how much am I spending" but rahter " what am I getting " and "what is it worth?" If you consider the example of a celebration that costs $12,000 and invests $750.00 for a good DJ, the music is only 6% of the total budget, yet represents the component with the most power to make or break your celebration. When you think of your event, the first thing they will remember is how much of a good time they have had. Considering this, you will want the best you can get for your money. A discount performer wil not be a much of a bargain if they play music that doesn't fit your crowd on equipment that was state of the art ten years ago. A solid DJ service, on the other hand, brings you exceptional value for your entertainement dollar. You truly get what you pay for.
You will find Panache Mobile Entertainement Dj's package that is in your price range, tailored to fit your needs.
