Beware of the "Nationwide" DJ Companies
Several of these so-called "Nationwide" DJ companies do not actually have any DJ's on their payroll at all.
In the words of Forrest Gump, sort of. "Booking an event with these companies is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get"
Several of these companies actually subcontract all, or most of, their bookings out to local area DJ's. Many times they find these local DJ's the same way that you could, by searching through the local telephone books and other advertising.
They will do this without actually screening the local DJ and you will not have an opportunity to screen your DJ either.
Many times, you will not even have any contact with the actual DJ that will be performing at your particular event until the day of, or shortly before your event.
Because of this, you may end up with a DJ that will end up playing the songs that he/she wants to play and not necessarily the songs that you, or your guests want to listen to.
Several of these companies will lure unsuspecting brides in by setting up flashy websites, offering free gifts for booking your event with them or offering what would appear to be an unbelievably low price (Until you read their fine print)
These companies will also post a toll-free phone number on their website which they will lead you to believe is a phone number for their "Local" office, when the reality is that all of these toll free numbers are actually routed to one central location which actually may be hundreds, or thousands of miles from where you are
