DJ services
Explain the atmosphere you want, the audience and the moments that need music rather than sending only a list of favourite songs. A background reception and a late dance set need different pacing. Tell the DJ what the venue supplies and whether you expect announcements, microphones or equipment as well as performance.
Service scope
A DJ selects and presents recorded music for an agreed audience and programme. The booking can be performance-only or include playback equipment, sound, lighting and announcements; these technical and hosting responsibilities need separate definition rather than being assumed from the performer title.
What is normally included
- Music consultation and set preparation
- Live selection and mixing of recorded tracks
- Coordination of agreed announcements
- Playback equipment where specified
What is not included
- Automatic provision of a complete stage production
- Unrestricted rights to stream or publish music
- Guaranteed audience participation
Typical tasks
- Discuss musical preferences and exclusions
- Plan the order of performance segments
- Confirm playback and sound arrangements
- Present the agreed live music set
- Coordinate transitions with the event contact
What to include in your brief
- Event type and audience description
- Date and performance hours
- Venue and indoor or outdoor setting
- Preferred genres and do-not-play requests
- Equipment and announcement requirements
Choosing the right professional
Listen to relevant mixes and ask how the DJ handles requests and changes in atmosphere. Compare the actual performance and equipment scope, identify any substitute-performer arrangement, and agree who checks venue restrictions and music permissions before booking.
Important considerations
- A performance booking may not include sound reinforcement
- Venue noise restrictions can change the proposed set
- Public playback and online reuse can require different permissions
