Top 10 Questions to Ask Your Wedding or Corporate Event DJ Before You Book including DJ packages and pricing

Planning a wedding or organizing a corporate event? Hiring the right DJ can make or break your celebration. Music sets the tone, drives the energy, and creates unforgettable memories. But how do you know you're hiring the right DJ for your event?

Whether you're planning a big wedding bash or a high-energy corporate celebration, here are the top 10 questions you should ask any DJ before you sign the contract:

1. What’s your DJ style, and how do you read the crowd?

Every DJ has a unique vibe. Some are high-energy hype machines; others focus more on seamless transitions and letting the music do the talking. Make sure their approach matches your event vibe.

2. Can we customize the playlist (and provide a do-not-play list)?

The best DJs know the event is about you. Ask how much flexibility you have with song selections and if they’re open to tailoring the music to your tastes.

3. What kind of events do you specialize in?

A DJ who rocks weddings might not have the same energy for a corporate awards dinner—or vice versa. Find out what types of events they do most often.

4. How do you handle transitions and event timing?

Great DJs don’t just play music—they manage the flow of your event. Whether it’s introducing speakers at a corporate party or guiding guests through a wedding timeline, timing is everything.

5. Do you offer MC services?

Not all DJs are comfortable on the mic. If you need someone to make announcements or hype up the room, ask about their MC experience.

6. What equipment do you use, and do you bring backups?

Quality sound and lighting gear can make a huge difference. Also, backups are crucial. You don’t want a technical issue to silence your celebration.

7. Have you worked at our venue before?

Familiarity with your venue can help with setup, acoustics, and logistics. If they haven’t worked there before, ask if they’ll do a site visit or connect with your venue coordinator.

8. Do you take song requests during the event?

Some DJs love interacting with guests; others prefer to stick to a pre-approved playlist. Know what to expect.

9. What’s included in your packages & pricing?

Ask about hours of coverage, lighting, extra speakers, travel fees, and whether setup and breakdown are included.

10. How far in advance should we book you?

Good DJs book up fast—especially during peak wedding and holiday seasons. Get clarity on their booking process and deposit requirements.

Final Thought:

Booking a DJ isn’t just about filling time with music—it’s about creating moments your guests will remember.
