How a DJ should handle the unexpected

DJs are hired to entertain at many different venues and for many types of events.  As much as we would like to believe, not every event goes as planned. Sometimes there are glitches - mostly relatively small timing issues that require attention.  It might be that the bridal party doesn't show up on time or that the champagne didn't get poured before the toasts are made. Small issues such as these require a DJ to respond to and negotiate around.  Some issues, on the other hand, can be significantly more profound and will necessitate a professional and creative approach to deal with.

Identifying a really good DJ is to see how that person deals with adversity and emergencies and doing it in a way that the guests don't realize that anything is even amiss. That is one of the essences of a great DJ.  When seeking out a DJ to hire, there are many questions you should not be afraid to ask. One of them should be how that person deals with potential issues during an event.  Have that person give a couple of examples.  If they can't, you might want to question their experience.  Any DJ that has been in the profession for a considerable length of time will have stories to share.

Have any of you experienced an occasion that called for a tactful, creative, quick-thinking DJ?
Please share.

Sincerely,

Scott Ptak
