Hiring a Houston DJ FAQ

1. Do you use professional audio and light equipment?  It is important to verify they are at least using professional-grade sound gear. Home stereo equipment is great for the home, but will not stand up to the rigors of the road. 
   
   
2. Do you provide a written contract?  All pricing needs to be in the contract including overages and base fee.
   
   
3. Do you specialize in a specific type of music?  Can you provide other types of music if requested?
   
   
4. If the DJ is unavailable for your event can they refer you to another DJ?  This is good etiquette and helps the business as a whole.
   
   
5. Ask the DJ how long it takes to setup their equipment. A typical setup time is between 1-2 hours. If the Houston DJ says they can setup in about 20 minutes this means they do not have that much equipment.
   
   
6. Houston DJs typically charge between $500-$3000 for an event lasting 4 hours. DJs sometimes charge more if the event is outside, or requires a lot of equipment (ie for large events). The price a houston DJ charges for a 60 person event will be significantly less than a 200 person event. Also most Houston DJs will charge more for events on holidays especially new years eve!  Make sure your DJ has all the charges in the contract.  The lowest price is not always the best deal in fact surveys conclude that nearly 100% of brides would have spent more money on entertainment and made it their #1 priority in hindsight.
