1. Does The D.J. Do More Than Play Music?
A wedding reception involves more than playing music. Your D.J. should also help the bride and groom plan out the evening before hand. So that if there is any special announcements or music, they will be known ahead of time and will be handled without you worrying.

2. Will The D.J. Listen To Your Suggestions? 
A professional D.J. is aware that he cannot possibly know everything there is to know about music and entertainment. He will be happy to discuss your ideas and input.

3. Are All Of The Reception Details Discussed In Advance? 
How long is your reception? Will your D.J. time fit your times? Do they include enough speakers and amps for your size reception? And will they provide a wireless microphone for the blessing and the toast?

4. What Type Of Experience Does The D.J. Have?
Wedding reception entertainment is a specialized form of entertainment. A D.J. at your favorite lounge or club does not always have the background to coordinate the special events or play music that appeals to all ages.

5. Does The Entertainer Use A Written Contract? 
We cannot begin to stress how important it is to get a confirmation in writing. All terms of the agreement should be in writing to avoid any complication on that day.

6. Does The Entertainer Dress Appropriately For The Event?
Your wedding reception is a special day and it is important that your entertainer looks the part by being properly attired in a tuxedo or at least a suit and tie, which ever you prefer.

7. Does The Entertainer Use Professional Equipment?
There is a difference between home audio equipment and professional equipment. Professional audio equipment will insure that the music sounds as it should.

8. Does The D.J. Have Back Up Plans In Case Of Illness Or Equipment Failure?
Even professional equipment can fail on occasion or sickness can happen. Ask them what their backup plans are.

9. Will The D.J. Play Requests? 
Many D.J.'s have the attitude that they know what music is best for their audience and will not take requests or suggestions from your guests. A professional D.J. will listen to requests and suggestions from your guests and fit them in where they are appropriate.

10. Does The D.J. Play Music At An Appropriate Volume?
The biggest concern we receive from prospective clients concerns the volume level of music. Remember when guests first arrive, they want to talk to each other and the music is just to fill in the background, nothing more. And later, it should never be that loud that people can't talk at their tables.

11. Is Your DJ Insured?
Make sure your DJ has liability insurance. If they are are not professional enough to carry insurance, chances are you might want to stay away from them.

12. Does your DJ Belong To Any National Or Local Associations?
Gordon is a Member of “American Disc Jockey Association,”, the “National Association of Mobile Entertainers” & the “Professional Disc Jockey Association of Greater Pittsburgh”.
