QUESTIONS TO ASK WHEN HIRING A DJ

Your reception is a once in a lifetime event. You want to make sure that the vendors you hire will help you make it memorable. Here are some questions you should ask.

HOW MANY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE DO YOU HAVE?

Experience brings knowledge of common problems and situations. Be sure the dj has experience with receptions.

AIKO AIKO Sound has serving brides and grooms for over 10 years. We average 70 receptions a year in a variety of indoor and outdoor settings.

MAY WE CALL YOUR REFERENCES?

References are the best source of information.

AIKO AIKO Sound is more than happy to provide you with a list of references.

DO YOU BELONG TO PROFESSIONAL OR TRADE GROUPS?

An involved business person shows a willingness to learn, network and share ideas. It also shows that a business is confident about the professionalism of their services.

AIKO AIKO Sound belongs to the American Disc Jockey Association, Colorado Disc Jockey Association and the Durango Chamber of Commerce.  The ADJA offers membership to those companies who exhibit a high degree of professionalism and attention to the needs of the customer.

WILL YOU ALLOW REQUESTS?

Requests should be welcome; requests make your guests feel a part of the festivities. If a song seems inappropriate, a good dj will explain the reason and ask for an alternative song.

AIKO AIKO Sound not only honors requests but we will help you in getting those requests through our on line request service or by visiting with your guests at appropriate times of your reception.

HOW EARLY WILL YOU BETHERE TO SET UP?

A professional will be there early enough to set up and do all the sound checks well in advance of the first guest arriving.

AIKO AIKO Sound arrives at your reception an hour before your guests arrive. There is no charge to you for this set up time.

HOW WILL YOU BE DRESSED?

Proper attire reflects a positive image to you and your guests.

AIKO AIKO Sound will be dressed in a professional attire or theme attire, when appropriate.

ARE YOU INSURED?

Insurance is part of any legitimate business. Liability policies protect yourself, your guests and the dj company.

AIKO AIKO Sound is insured through the American Disc Jockey Association.

DO YOU USE PROFESSIONAL GEAR?

Using professional sound equipment helps insure reliable service and quality presentation.

AIKO AIKO Sound uses only professional gar that is presented in a professional manner. We use names such as Peavy, American DJ, QSC, and Audio Technica in all of our systems
