Here is what to ask when booking a mobile DJ for an event...
Ask for references. It's the most important thing you can do.
Know who your DJ will be. Experience is the key.
Choose company that will help coordinate the details of your special evening.
Create a time line for the evening and then stick with it.
Make sure your DJ will be dressed appropriately. Full tuxedo for a black tie affair is expected. Khaki's and sport coat may be appropriate for an outdoor event.
Expect to pay up to $150 per hour for a reputable DJ service
Book early. At least six months in advance is suggested, but a year in advance in not too early.
Get it in writing. Get a signed contract that accurately reflects the price and considerations.
