- Book early. Did we say that already? It’s worth repeating: good DJs are in demand for holiday parties, and you should book one as soon as you have a date firmed up.
- Use a booking agency. It’s safe to assume that finding a DJ is not your main responsibility at work, and you have plenty of other things to think about. That’s why it’s smart to let the booking agency do the work for you. You make one contact, tell them what you need, and they’ll find the right person for your job.
- Choose a DJ that's right for your party. Every company has a different personality, and every office party will reflect that. If you work for a prim and proper Old Money law firm your party will be a lot different than one thrown by a tech startup where most people are under 30. Fit your DJ’s personality to the style of your company.
- Think about off peak booking. If you want to save money on entertainment, try to schedule your party for a weeknight. A popular DJ will naturally charge more money for high demand times like weekends.
- Go over the playlist with them. Once again, company style means a lot. The DJ should know what music to play and what to stay away from, depending on your company’s style.
Book Your Holiday Party DJ Early
It's not too early to start thinking about the holiday season if you're planning an office party. Good DJs start getting booked at least six months before December, so even though you may be still working on your summer tan, it’s time to start thinking about the entertainment for your office party.
Here are some tips for booking a great DJ for your office party.
