Regardless of how big or small the corporate event you are planning, there are several areas that require your attention from the very start. And if you want your corporate event to be a success, you really need to consider your entertainment options.
Recently it has become increasingly popular to hire DJs for corporate events in London. If you are also thinking a DJ might be right for your party, then here are some general things to be considered when hiring them:
-
Know your audience: Before you truly begin your planning, it is vital for you to understand your target audience and the aim of the event. These two factors will eventually impact all of the decisions that you make.
-
Hire a professional: It is important to understand that there is more to being a DJ than simply having ‘two turntables and a microphone’. While you may find many amateur DJs in the ads of local papers but they cannot always offer the level of professionalism you need to make your event a success. You can check the yellow pages and online business directories for professional DJ services and look for a DJ with a minimum of three years of experience. You can also get in touch with some entertainment agency in London who will provide you with most suitable DJ according to your requirements.
-
Match the right DJ for the right event: Professional DJs provide service for a variety of social events. Many DJ services specialise in certain types of social events. Some are strictly wedding DJs, while others might concentrate on corporate gatherings. Each of the specialities requires a different set of skills. So when looking to hire a DJ service, make sure that the service you choose has enough experience with the type of event you are planning.
-
Check out the DJ’s website: Sometimes it becomes difficult to judge the level of professionalism of the DJ you hire as it is very unlikely that they will have an office or a shop that you can visit. However, most of the DJ services will at least have an online presence through a social media such as Facebook or a website where you can get information from. Often one can judge a DJs degree of professionalism by how they present themselves online. When considering a professional DJ service, you can often narrow your list of potential entertainers by utilising the style and content of their website.
-
Music and requests: The corporate event DJ you hire must have a legal source of up-to-date music. Ask if and to what extent the corporate DJ takes requests. This is because some DJ services play the songs that they want without regard for the guests.
-
Demos and playlists: While the website and interview can provide you a good idea of the quality of the DJ that you are considering, they should also be able to provide you with the samples of their work. A good professional DJ service will have a selection of demos recorded which you can listen to get a feel of their performance. These demos will not only give let you judge their skills but will also give a good indication of their ability to interact with party guests.
