Our goal at Snapfuze is to make events more memorable. Regardless of whether you hire us, we want you to be happy. We’ve decided to put some time into helping you pick the DJ or Photo Booth vendor for your event. Some things like a bad attitude, or poor initial service are obvious no-no’s, but we’d like to let you in on some industry secrets so you don’t end up underwhelmed and needlessly angry. In part one of this article we’ll focus on hiring a Michigan DJ service.
PART 1: HIRING A MICHIGAN DJ:
Always hire a DJ with experience outside of DJing weddings, birthday parties or corporate events. DJs that are one dimensional tend to play the same songs in the same order at every event, even if the song isn’t working. We’ve heard complaints that many traditional wedding DJs let every song play to the end even if it was a bad choice and clears the dance floor. A “real” DJ would see the dance floor begin to clear and would immediately have another guaranteed hit song mixing in.
Also, some DJs try to convince you that you need an expensive lighting or souped up equipment package to make your event fun. If a DJ seems more focused on everything but you and the music that will make your guests enjoy themselves most, that should be a huge red flag. Quality equipment is definitely important (and we have to admit we’re equipment snobs, insisting on only the best), but if your first conversation with a potential DJ is centered around anything but making you and your guests happy, be very concerned! There are many options, but arguably choosing a DJ is in the top 3 most important choices you’ll make for your event. The DJ will generally be providing the atmosphere from the start to finish. Outside of the venue, the DJ is the other aspect that’s always present during your event. Think twice before shaving a couple hundred dollars by hiring a “cheap” DJ. You just might get what you pay for.
