The price of the DJ should not be the sole deciding factor in your decision making process for several good reasons:

* The old assumption that 'you get what you pay for' is very true in this business. If a DJ or DJ company is charging very low rates the chances are that they are inexperienced, have substandard equipment, and/or are not that reliable. Any good experienced DJ or company knows the going market rate and value for his/their services.

* There are other factors that are more important than price: Is the DJ experienced? Have you been provided with references to prove it? Do they ask for your input into the type of music you want? Do they offer you a contract clearly stating what you will get? Do they dress professionally for the occasion? Will they turn up on time?

* You should not take a chance on your wedding day by hiring a potentially substandard DJ. On many occasions, we have been called on the wedding day/night by a distressed Bride or Groom to ask if we can provide one of our DJs, because the other DJ they booked has not turned up!

* Does the venue that you are using, recommend the DJ company that you are considering? Venues do not like to recommend a DJ unless they are 100% trusting of that DJ or DJ company. This is because it reflects badly on the venue if they recommend someone and then things go wrong.

* Will the DJ play music suitable for your guests, or will he just play what he personally likes? Any good DJ understands that he is there to provide suitable music for the occasion. He is not there to be a Club DJ trying to impress his own personal tastes upon you.

* You are not just hiring a DJ for his music. You are hiring him for his experience in knowing what songs work with different audiences. If a DJ or DJ company is any good, they will be able to advise you on the music that is appropriate for your occasion. After all, it is their business to know this.

You should not presume that you know what music is going to work for your guests (unless you have personally performed as a DJ!)
