How to Choose and Hire a DJ
Choosing a DJ for your event can be a very in depth process since you want to be sure about your decision and also feel comfortable with
your DJ. There are many factors to consider such as experience, knowledge and of course ability.
The Search
The best way to find the right DJ is to first consider what you need your DJ to do for your event. You would not want a club DJ for your
wedding reception and likewise, you would not want to hire a wedding DJ for a nightclub gig. The best way to make your decision is to start
calling your local DJ's and simply asking them what events they specialize in. If you are booking a wedding reception, you'll most likely want a
DJ who plays for mostly wedding receptions. The second step in the searching process should be a recommendation from a friend or family
member. Many people overlook the fact that most of their own family members and friends have probably looked for a DJ at some point and
may be able to recommend someone based on their experience with them. And lastly, be sure to check out the website for the DJ you are
considering if he or she has one. Any reputable DJ will have information available online as the internet is the best form of advertising for any
DJ. DJ Chris Englert has explored all advertising outlets from the yellow pages and TV ads to radio and billboard ads. When it comes down to
it, the internet promises the best results by being available to the world, not just a passing motorist. Be sure to read all of the information
available online as you will most likely find some very interesting facts about your DJ such as pricing, experience, quality and of course ability.
Once you have found a DJ who you feel is the right choice, be sure to call them directly and have a short conversation with him or her. This
will allow you to discover the personality of the DJ and help you decide if your choice is the right one or not. Obviously, if the DJ is rushing you
off of the phone, you probably want to look elsewhere. Keep in mind these simple points of interest.

off of the phone, you probably want to look elsewhere. Keep in mind these simple points of interest.
- Does the DJ sound interested in your event?
- Does the DJ understand your concerns?
- Does the DJ have a warm personality and professional demeanor?
- Is the DJ willing to make special exceptions to meet your needs?
These are just a few key points that you should consider after your conversation. And remember, these tips are just a guideline for you and
should not be relied upon as an actual deciding factor. Use your own judgement as well and go with your instincts.
Custom Entertainment
Do you want a DJ who plays oldies all night or a DJ who will mix up the music and provide variety for all of your guests? Do you want a DJ who
will sit behind his/her table all night and just play music or do you want a DJ who will interact with your guests and provide a good time for
them? These are the questions you should be asking yourself in advance, so you can find the DJ who will fit your style of entertainment. DJ
Chris Englert offers customized packages and what that means is simply that you will get the entertainment you want, not entertainment that is
just provided. The DJ works for you and should be willing to provide the level of service you deserve and demand.
Professionalism
Like most reputable DJ's, Chris Englert will arrange to meet with you one on one before your event to go over the plans for entertainment.
This is a very important meeting because while your DJ is explaining his or her plans to you, you will actually be studying the DJ, listening to
the DJ and deciding if his or her ability is what they claimed it to be.
I hope this information will come in handy and assist you in your decision. As I mentioned earlier, there are many factors to consider in the
hiring process so take your time and don't rush. Use these tools as a guide and rely on what you feel inside. If you have any other questions,
please feel free to contact me directly and I will more than happy to help in any way I can.
