10 Questions to Guarantee a Quality DJ

There are ten questions that you should ask to ensure that you have a quality DJ at your wedding or next corporate event. Don't be left hoping that the DJ you chose will do the job well--be positive that your DJ will entertain, be professional and let you enjoy your party!

1.) Is the Disc Jockey (and/or entertainment company) insured?

2.) Will the DJ discuss the music selection with you ahead of time if you would like them to?

3.) Will the DJ use professional equipment and have a professional presentation, (table, speakers, signage etc.)

4.) Will there be back-up equipment available at the reception, (in case a microphone dies, a cord is broken, or a speaker blows!)

5.) Does the DJ know the proper etiquette, song selection and traditions for the reception (i.e. Bar Mitzvah, corporate party, wedding).

6.) Will the DJ set up before the event, and how long will they need to set-up before guests arrive?

7.) Does the DJ provide a written contract?

8.) Will the DJ be professionally, and appropriately dressed?

9.) Does the DJ belong to any professional organizations or groups, or hold any special designations or accreditation?

10.) Can the DJ provide references for the type of event you are planning?

Be confident that your next event will be entertaining! Make sure to hire a quality DJ Company!

Top 5 Party Theme Ideas

Every great party has a theme. The theme sets the stage for the attire, decorations, entertainment, even food and activities! Below are a list of our Top 5 Party Theme Ideas.

Western: Saddle-up and let’s have a hi-ho good time at this rodeo, Cowboy! Western style parties are fun and easy. Ask guests to arrive in the “Western Wear,” serve chips and salsa, BBQ, and give mini cactus away as party favors!

James Bond: "Bond, James Bond" Ask guests to dress in black tie for your 007 shin-dig. James Bond parties can include showings of movies, casino games, even a Bond-style murder-mystery game. Serve martinis and give away poker-chip key chains as fun favors.

Luau: Aloha! Spice up a pool party with a Hawaiian Luau theme. Ask guest to show with their beach attire, and supplement with grass skirts that they can take home. Serve fruity drinks in coconuts, and hand-out flower leis as the guest arrive. Decorate with raffia table skirts and tiki lamps. And of course, play some beautiful Hawaiian luau music!

70’s Disco: “Ah…. Freak out!” Think John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever, and get in “the groove” for a fabulous disco style party. Decorate with a disco ball, hand out 70’s style sunglasses and ask guest to arrive in their bell-bottoms and leisure suits! If you want a fun food idea, think fondue! Don’t forget the tunes: The Village People, Elton John, Kool and the Gang… this era is a great party theme idea!

Hollywood: A star-studded, glittery, paparazzi-filled night is ahead of you when you host a Hollywood party! Perfect for awards-nights, celebrations, company gatherings, and more, a Hollywood party can be a glitzy and glamorous affair. Ask guests to show dressed as their favorite super-star. Put a red carpet out, give away cameras as favors, and decorate with star-cut-outs. Stop by the trophy store and pick up some awards for your guests of honor: Best Hairstyle, Most Glamorous, etc.

These are just a few of the great themes that you could use for your next party. Remember, starting with the theme when you plan will help shape all the planning, and giving your party a great theme will get the guest excited and make the event spectacular.
