Finding A Dee Jay or Band

You don't to have hit the town party hopping every night in order to find the right deejay or band for your event, but a word of mouth reference from someone you know or a trusted source is a good idea!

• Call your friends and get a recommendation for a deejay or band that they've used.
• Been to a fabulous party lately where you really loved the music? Get in touch the party host or the band or deejay directly and inquire about their services.
• Maybe there's a bar or restaurant with a deejay or band that you like? Check with the venue's manager and ask how their dealings have been with the deejay or band and then find out if they are available for private events.
• Call the deejay or band contact and get a feel for them on the phone. One of the first questions they'll ask you is the date of your party to see if they are available.
• Deejays and bands usually have a set price or can give you a good idea about what their service will cost you. Find out what they charge and if it fits your budget, set up a meeting with them or ask some of the questions in Tip 2: Questions to Ask When Interviewing a Dee Jay or Band.
