QUESTION 19 OF 25

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

This role is responsible for many different moving parts. Life happens and people can be flakey. How will you handle these types of situations? How have you dealt with them in the past?

"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."

Anonymous Answer

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.
