Ok here are a few tips on how to choose the right man for the job. Just thought might help.
1) Plan your budget first. How much you would like to spend on a DJ ? Most celebrity DJs charge INR. 25,000/- upwards per event. Amateur DJs wold cost you anywhere between INR. 5000/- to INR. 10,000/- for an evening.
2) Whats the music genre you are looking out to be played at your party. Make it very clear to the DJ at first, what your major chunk of evening should sound like. Most DJs will oblige/refuse depending on their comfort level with a particular genre. I personally recommend a DJ who plays most genres without fuss.
3) Its always a good idea to hire someone you have heard earlier or as been recommended by a friend. But do venture out and hear a few new DJs before u close in the deal.
4) Make it very clear to the DJ what the occasion is all bout. He may just not have the birthday song on that very night ;)
5) Most sound vendors have a set favorite DJs. Do not always adhere to their fancies. Meet em once before confirming.
6) One final event brief to the DJ is utmost important before any party.
7) Social networking sites are a good way of checking out the work done by a DJ and also his/her popularity.
8) Ask for a technical rider of the DJ before confirming the sound vendor. Most DJs have their favorite vendors. If you can get a great package. Block em. Saves the trouble of dealing with many vendors.
9) Make the decibel levels clear to a DJ at the time of booking. You really would not like your house windows shattered by the end of the evening.
10) Just coz a DJ plays well in a club does not necessarily make him a good DJ for a private event, which are always more demanding.
