How to choose your DJ.

A good DJ does more than play music: they read the room and drive the night. Here is how to choose well.

Check their experience with your type of event, the backup gear (sound, mics, lighting), their ability to read the room and their flexibility on the playlist.

Experience with YOUR type of event

A wedding, a corporate party or a gala need different skills. Choose someone used to your format.

The gear… and the backup gear

Right-sized sound, mics for speeches, lighting. Above all: backup gear.

Reading the room

A good DJ reads the room: when to open the floor, how to transition, how to handle an emptying floor.

Playlist, must-plays and do-not-plays

You must share your must-plays and do-not-plays. Neither rigid nor a mere button-pusher.

Ceremony sound

Think of the ceremony: wireless mics, entrance/exit music, outdoor playback.
