Hey Mister DJ

My favorite part of attending a reception is the dance party - and the man behind the curtain who makes the magic happen is your DJ. Oh yes, the DJ has a lot to do with how your night will go. Of course it is best to choose a DJ who you have experienced the magic with, but there is more to the story. Speaking with Steve at Music by Steve, I was reminded that DJs (and all of your other vendors too) need to have contingency plans. Such as…

• Backup speakers in case one gets blown out
  
• What happens if the laptop is no longer functioning as expected
• Does he/ she have music both online and offline? This will mean they have a wealth of resources, but also are not putting all of their eggs in one basket.

So these are a few tips and tricks to ensure your DJ is providing you with not just the ultimate experience, but also a reliable one. (And in case you are wondering Music by Steve had 10 out of 10 in passing these questions). I have yet to hear them at a party, but I’m sure we will cross paths soon.
