When you watch a video of a DJ in action and are blown away by their talent, remember that you're probably seeing a highlight reel of their better performances. To find out if a DJ is the right fit for your event, it's a good idea to chat with them and see how well you connect. After all, they'll be at your event or wedding for several hours, often more than four.

It wouldn't be smart to hire someone you're not excited about, only to have them around for the entire event. The DJ's personality and how much you like them are important when choosing someone to entertain and provide music for your special occasion.
