The following are a few suggestions and informative
questions you should ask any disc jockey before
you make your final decision:

Will Your Disc Jockey be suitably dressed for the occasion?

It is important that your Disc Jockey looks the part by dressing in
formal or semiformal attire (your choice). Be sure to specify the type
of apparel that your Disc Jockey should use. There should be no added
fee charged for formal attire.

Is Your Disc Jockey willing to discuss musical
selections ahead of time, and is he or she willing to
play requests, particularly if they are suitable for
dancing?

A professional Disc Jockey is aware that they cannot possibly know
everything there is to know about your musical preferences and
entertainment needs. They should be willing to listen to your ideas
and suggestions. They should make themselves available prior to your
party to discuss selections. They should be earnest in accepting the
songs you have chosen to be played as well as those you have chosen
not to be played. Special requests should never be a problem and your
Disc Jockey should be willing t o play them where they are appropriate.

Does Your Disc Jockey use Professional Equipment?

There is a difference between the audio equipment you have at home
and the equipment a professional Disc Jockey uses. Professional audio
equipment is built to go on the road day in and day out. Make sure
your prospective choices use only professional equipment to insure the
musical selections are audible for all your guests enjoyment.


Can your Disc Jockey provide backup equipment and/or
personnel in case of emergency?

Even professional equipment can fail on occasion, so it is important to
know whether your Disc Jockey has spare equipment available to them.
Any number of circumstances may arise between the time you book
your Disc Jockey and the date of the party. It is important to know if
the Disc Jockey has a backup plan in case of illness or accident.

Booking a reliable Disc Jockey is a very important decision for the
success of your party. Selecting Bill Edwards will provide you with
the confidence that you have selected a trained professional.


Does Your Disc Jockey know the proper procedure
and etiquette for your type of party?

A professional Disc Jockey will become involved with the planning of
your special day and will be prepared to handle all announcements and
special events on the day of your affair.


Will Your Disc Jockey arrive on time?

Punctuality is a necessity, and as professional business people they
should be aware of their responsibilities to their clients. Normal time
spent setting up and removing equipment is not a part of the
entertainment fee.


Can Your Disc Jockey provide a written contract and
references from previous clients?

It is extremely important to have your booking confirmed in writing. All
terms of the agreement should be in writing to avoid any complications
at a later date. References are an important part of any business and
your Disc Jockey should be able to provide you with numerous current
names and addresses of satisfied clients.


Is Your Disc Jockey registered, incorporated and/or
insured?

A Disc Jockey who has taken the time to incorporate, register
(according to State or local regulations) and insure their respective
companies, demonstrates that they are serious business people.
