What
questions do you ask a DJ?
I have taken the liberty of compiling
more than 40 questions for you, the consumer, to ask DJs or DJ Companies
(like me). Some questions may not pertain to your particular event and
some questions may not be important to you personally. That's
alright. You see, before you even start asking questions, YOU
have to decide what is IMPORTANT to you. I left the question out,
"How much do you charge?", because that is something all of us
tend to ask. For some of you, price will be the most important thing
to you and so to ask any other question would be unnecessary. If
you think of a question(s) I should include on this list, please email it to
me.
