Question 8 of 25

What would you do if the DJ is late and not responding to calls or emails?

"I always have a backup plan and this has definitely happened before. If the DJ wasn't there on time, I would already be sorting through people to call. Building good relationships with your vendors will assist with these types of issues. When you have a relationship built on mutual respect, you find out quickly who you can rely on. I typically let my DJ's know in advance that I have an event coming up and I sometimes even call my backup the night before just in case."

      "Depending on the event I like to always have a backup playlist. I'd pump up the background playlist and offer to take requests from any of our attendees while we fill for the missing DJ."
