Key Things to Look for When Booking an Experienced DJ

A good DJ will be able to create a positive atmosphere and have the necessary experience to make the function work. Remember that it is the DJ's experience you are paying for and not just the flashing lights.



Remember that how long a Mobile Disco has been in business is an important factor; if in doubt you should always remember to ask the DJ to provide references from clients who have booked them for similar events. When you choose your disco and book the event, then expect to pay a small deposit in order to secure the date of the function. It's also very important that booking details and terms are sent to you in writing and that you have some form of contract with the DJ.



When booking a mobile disco also ask them if they have public liability insurance. This is important should any accident occur between the Disco Equipment and your guests, which is at the liability of the DJ you have the reassurance that they are covered. Just as importantly a lot of venues and hotels will not allow a mobile disco to enter their premises unless the certificate can be produced. Therefore it is in your own interests to make sure that the DJ who you book has a minimum requirement otherwise you may see your disco being refused entry and be unable to carry out his obligations leaving you without a DJ on the evening of your function. In the UK, Mobile DJ's are also required as some venues to produce PAT (Electrical Safety) certificates and so if you live in the UK or other countries which require this then make sure that your mobile disco has the level of requirements expected by your hotel or wedding venue.



Most DJ's will dress accordingly depending on the formality of the event. At wedding receptions the usual dress for a function would be a tuxedo or a suit. If you have any special requirements for attire, such as black tie or if the function has a theme or fancy dress then any DJ worth their reputation will dress suitably for the function or theme if instructed.



This is YOUR function and YOUR special day so any mobile disco should be flexible and adapt to meet both your arrangements and your music requirements, so it is important to discuss these prior to making a confirmed booking. It is well worth investing time finding mobile discos that will perfectly match the event, some DJ agencies work with multiple experienced DJs making finding the right one much more straightforward.
