Warning Signs Of Unprofessional And Inexperienced DJs For Hire

Hiring a DJ in Melbourne can be a daunting and stressful process, but it does not have to be. Whether you are hiring a DJ for your corporate function or for your wedding, it is important to ensure you hire the right DJ who will give you value for your money. Some DJs can disappoint at the last minute. When hiring a DJ, look for the following warning signs.

 

The DJ does not require a signed contract

We are living in days when contracts help things run smoothly. This should also apply to your DJ. If the DJ you are hiring doesn’t ask for a contract, you should look for another one. A signed contract will ensure that the DJ will be there on the agreed date at the right time. If a DJ does not require a contract then that is a warning sign that the DJ is not professional or he is just after your money. There have been cases where people pay DJs a down payment only to be disappointed during the wedding day as the DJ fails to show up.

 

Does not ask for a down-payment

If the DJ you are considering does not ask for a down-payment of some sort then this should be a warning sign that the DJ is not professional enough to work with you. By asking for a down-payment, the DJ will ensure that you will pay them the remaining amount as agreed in the contract and they will ensure they give you the best services. DJs for hire usually request a down-payment so that they can facilitate and coordinate everything on time.

 

Doesn’t have any website reviews or doesn’t have any positive reviews

When you want to hire a professional DJ, you should do your research on them. Reading reviews should be part of your research. You want to know what past clients said about the DJ and whether the DJ has done a substantial number of projects. Look them up on Google, Facebook, Yelp and other review sites. If you cannot find any reviews or positive reviews then you should start looking for another DJ. Lack of reviews is a clear indication that you are working with a beginner or a quack DJ.

 

Hasn’t performed in a wedding before

Do not just hire any DJ you meet since there are different kinds of DJs. Some of them play in clubs while others are producers. Some do weddings while others play at parties. Do not hire a DJ who doesn’t have any experience at weddings if you are looking for a wedding DJ. The same applies to other events. You need someone who is experienced in the services you are looking for.

 

Does not have insurance

When hiring a DJ in Melbourne, it is important to ensure they have their equipment and personnel insured. A lot of venues will ask for proof of DJ insurance before they allow your DJ to perform. To avoid last-minute disappointment, it is important to ensure your DJ is insured.
