How To Create The Ultimate Bar/Bat Mitzvah

Selecting a DJ for your son or daughter's special day is an important decision that can either make your event a success or turn it into a disaster. The sad fact is that there are people who will buy some equipment and claim they are a DJ. This is like someone buying a stethoscope and saying that he is a doctor!

Many people ask "How do I choose a DJ? Aren't they all the same?" DJs are perceived as a dime-a-dozen commodity by many event planners, and because of this, they try to find the lowest priced service.

Each performer is unique and, like in any other profession, there are DJs who are great, some who are good, some mediocre, and some who should never be allowed to perform!

Here are four steps you should take before hiring any DJ:

Step #1: Ask the prospective DJ service to tell you what the basic structure of a Bar or Bat Mitzvah is. This is a great "sneaky" way to discover whether or not that DJ is a pro who knows what he is doing or if he is an amateur just looking to pick up some quick money. Although each Bar Mitzvah and Bat Mitzvah has its own unique personality, family preferences, and cultural differences, the DJ should have some idea how these important events are organized.

Step #2: Does the DJ service you are considering, guarantee their work? If a DJ is confident in his abilities, there shouldn't be any problem backing up those abilities with a Satisfaction Guarantee. When a DJ service offers a guarantee, you can be extremely confident that you are getting a true professional who will work hard to make sure you are overjoyed with the service.

Step #3: Make sure the DJ service can provide you a list of testimonials from past Bar & Bat Mitzvah clients. This is vitally important. You want to see what other people have to say about that company. When you see the great comments about a DJ service from other people, you can feel confident that they will do a great job for your son or daughter's special day as well. Do not hire a DJ who refuses to give you testimonial proof.

Step #4: Select the DJ service that is right for you, not someone who just has the right price. A big mistake many people make when hiring a DJ is basing their decision totally on price. Of course, price is a factor when hiring an entertainer. However, many event planners place too much emphasis on price and not enough emphasis on the overall impact the DJ will have on their event. Base your decision on the DJ service that will best fulfill your needs and help you to achieve your desired outcomes.

One way you can know whether a DJ service is going to meet your needs is if they ask you what your needs are and what outcomes you want to achieve with your child's Bar or Bat Mitzvah. When you call them, do they just tell you how great they are without finding out what you want and need?

How would you feel if you went to a doctor because you weren't feeling well and the doctor instantly prescribed some medicine without first finding out what was wrong with you? It's the same with DJs. They should find out what you want and need first and see if they have a program that can fulfill those needs.

By following these four steps you will select a DJ who is perfect for your event.
