Every Party Needs a Mobile DJ!
Planning for a party can be a very involved process. There is the ceremony itself, but then there is the catering, the location, the transportation, the flowers and of course the DJ. In a place like Philadelphia, with around one and a half million people, a person should not have a hard time finding a Mobile DJ.
However, finding the right Philadelphia party DJ is a process that needs every bit as much attention as the caterer. There are a number of things to consider when looking for and deciding on a Philly DJ. The most important rule is to not, under any circumstances, consider using your cousin and his ability to create awesome mix CDs. Now that rule number one is established, here are some quick pointers to hiring a Philly DJ discjockey.
First, check your immediate area for DJs and then compile a short list. Write down five or six DJs leaving room for notes. Notes will help you compare one Mobile DJ against another. Second, and probably the obvious next step, is to make the calls.
When talking with the DJ you will want to concentrate one a few key bits of information:
1. Cost. How much are you willing to spend? Does the DJ Philadelphia charge by the hour or by the event?
2. Song library. It's important to find a DJ that offers a wide variety of music. You will not only want a DJ who can change up the music, but be able to cater to the tastes of your guests. Your 100 country music fan guests will become very weary after 30 minutes of rap music, or vice versa.
3. DJ for wedding interaction and personality. Does the DJ seem like a fun person? Is this someone who is going to entertain as well as play music? In some cases a great DJ can make a bad master of ceremony. You are going to want someone as lively and entertaining as the music they are spinning.
