If these suggestions bring no results, your next step may be turning to your local professional disc jockey association. A DJ active in an association also shows he cares about his business which usually means he cares about what happens at your wedding. Another good source for quality DJs is wedding magazines and internet bridal sites because the companies listed usually specialize in doing weddings. Obviously, you want to avoid these problems. Think about it, if a DJ keeps dropping his price to get your business, he may not be very good.
Most professional companies rely on referral business and maintain a certain pricing standard.
It is important to create a rapport with the DJ over the phone. Pay attention to their manner of speaking and attitude, their personality tends to spill over into their DJ style. These questions were created by the Professional Association of Disc Jockeys which is a Los Angeles area chapter of the American Disc Jockey Association.
