First Vendor Metting Tonight!

HI!

Tonight I have an appointment with High Voltage Sounds DJ company. Has anybody used them/met with them/give me advice for them?

This is my first vendor appointment so I'm not too sure on how to go about it. Any help would be great and appreciated!!

Thanks =)

google for questions to ask dj's at your first meeting... so helpful to have a list in front of you

DJ QUESTIONS

Exact date of event, arrival time, and location with address.

Equipment that you are expected to supply and equipment they are expected to supply -- such as chairs, music stands, or amplifiers. If the musicians are bringing their own equipment, record any extra charges.

The names of the particular musicians or DJ who will play at your reception, plus the names of their substitutes should there be an emergency.

Have you DJ’d at ______________ before?

Attire guidelines: If you have any special requirements for what the performers wear, be sure to note them.

A list of what will be played when. Also talk to them about some B-list songs to play should they need to fill time.

If you’re serious about your do-not-play list, include that in your contract and attach the list.

Amount of time you’ve booked them for.

How many breaks are needed and when they plan to break for dinner (remember to think about what you’ll do for music during these break times).

Fees and overtime rates. Write in a clause that ensures their flexibility should you need them to play longer (your dad missed the last dance song and now your mom wants just one more dance, for example).

Deposit and balance due dates.

Cancellation/refund policy.

Plasma screens? Size?

Zap shots? How many?

Lighting?

Playlist?

Song requests?
