Here are some of the things that separate “Professional” DJ’s from the “Bottom Feeders”:
- Professional DJ’s use professional equipment, not a home stereo.
- Professional DJ’s will meet with you and help you plan your reception.
- Professional DJ’s will have many references available for you to talk to.
- Professional DJ’s WILL NOT subcontract out your event unless they tell you at the time of contract signing.

- Professional DJ’s will be set up on time and ready by the time your first guest arrives.
- Professional DJ’s abide by your wishes and not just play what “they” like to hear.
- Professional DJ’s will have liability insurance.
- Professional DJ’s will not drink alcoholic beverages on the job.
- Professional DJ’s will not try to be the life of the party. The Bride and Groom should never share the limelight.
- Professional DJ’s will not invite potential clients to watch them perform at your event. A DJ cannot give your event 100% attention if they’re trying to sell to others.
- Professional DJ’s will use contracts, to protect both them and you.
This is not an all-inclusive list but just some of the major discriminators that should help you secure the services of a Professional DJ. I’m not saying that the higher the price a DJ charges, the more professional they are.
You have to ask yourself though, if the average price for a DJ in your market is $500 and a DJ will undercut or quote you $300 for the job, why is he willing to charge so much less. We’re not all created equal! Use the list to help you identify the professional DJ service and save yourself the heartache of a bad DJ.
