Now I know what you're thinking, 'Make sure I have a back up DJ?'. But what I really mean is, 'Make sure your DJ has a back up plan'.

Reading The Room
One of the top skills for a DJ to have is the ability to 'Read The Room'. Is the crowd older? Are they younger? Are they not feeling this song? The power to adapt and deviate is so important. Ask your DJ questions like, 'How do you handle an empty dance floor?' or, 'What tools do you use to get people back on the dance floor?'

Liability Insurance
This is one part that not a lot of people consider. Does your DJ have Liability Insurance? Accidents happen all the time, and you don't want to be responsible when your drunk uncle gets a little too low next to the DJ booth and spills his drink on the speaker. Make sure that your DJ is covered and that the liability isn't on you.
