Selecting the Right Wedding & Event Entertainment Essential to Success

SURREY, British Columbia - Dec. 7, 2015 - PRLog -- Some people feel that there is little to figure out when selecting the right DJ & entertainment for an event. This could not be further from the truth and that attitude sets people up for major disappointment. From poor song selection to a DJ that spends more time talking on the mic than spinning the tracks are only a few of the issues we have seen out there over the years.

A professional DJ will select the right sound system configuration for the venue, the right lighting and FX in addition to multimedia displays if requested. They will work with you to ensure the correct genre of music is played, playlists that you request are accommodated and they will ensure timing is followed so as special dances, speeches and the like are on schedule.

A professional DJ can read a crowd and work within in the theme and selected playlists to liven up the crowd and encourage a great party atmosphere when the crowd seems to be falling off. They can also use the mic to hype the crowd up or slow things down if things are getting a little to rambunctious. The proper DJ will come in and have a plan A, plan B and plan C so as contingencies are in place should something like a power outage or other event happen.

When you are making preliminary calls and contacts in order to find the right DJ, do not allow cost to be the deciding factor. Although it is important to keep within your budget, always remember that you get what you pay for. Most professional DJ's will sit down with you before signing any contract to ensure that you feel comfortable with him / her and that they can provide the services that you want. You will also want to ensure that you feel comfortable with the DJ you choose as they will have a major impact on the success or failure of your event.

You will want to also ensure that the DJ is properly licensed and insured to ensure your not liable should something go wrong with their equipment or as a result of their equipment at the venue. Workers Compensation coverage is also essential to ensure that if an employee of the sound company is injured, they are covered and again, you are not help liable for any such injury.
