When looking for a DJ, what should we look for?
There are a LOT of things to keep in mind when looking for a DJ. Wedding DJs in particularly have a variety of different options, skill sets and experience they offer. To help you with your search for the right DJ, download our free e-book How to Find Your DJ.
How early should we book a DJ?
There really is no correct answer here, but the earlier the better is probably the best one. While we will take bookings as late as the night of (and that has happened), there is no guarantee ourselves, or another DJ service, will be available. To reduce your own stress levels, the DJ should be one of the first vendors you book.
What is the deposit and when is final payment due?
The deposit is typically 25% of the total amount due. The final balance can be made via post-dated cheque (dated the date of the event) or by Credit Card, cheque, cash, or e-transfer 7 days prior to the date of the event. We do not collect the balance on the day of so that you will not have to worry about any financial obligations while you are trying to enjoy yourselves.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. This is important to you as if an entertainer damages anything at the venue, or if someone is injured by an entertainer’s equipment, you may be held liable if the DJ has no insurance. Therefore, Gudlite not only carries insurance on our equipment, but Liability insurance as well.
When do you arrive to set up?
We try to arrive as early as possible to set up, program and test the equipment. If possible, we will set up the night before (if the venue allows). The minimum amount of time we require to set up is 90 minutes.
Do you use professional grade equipment?
Yes. All our equipment is professional quality. We would love to talk about our gear if you want (seriously, we love our gear) but since most people are not interested in the
details, you can be rest assured we use the best sound, lighting, computer and everything else we can find!
If you want to talk geek and really get into the specs, send us a message and we will gladly nerd out!
Will you get along with other vendors?
I am amazed that this question has been asked. Of course, we will! And I apologize if you have seen or heard of a DJ doing otherwise. Our goal is to ensure your night goes smoothly. To accomplish this, we need to ensure that we are on the same page as the other vendors. Not only do we reach out to them prior to the event, if we are part of the planning process, we ensure they know what is going on, and when.
Should we tip the DJ?
While appreciated, tipping is never required and is completely optional.
