Arkansas Karaoke DJ Service

Karaoke is a word formed from putting two Japanese words together. “Kara” that comes from Karappo and means empty, and “Oke”, shortened from Okesutura meaning “orchestra”. So Karaoke literally means “empty orchestra”. Karaoke music was first developed in the region of Kobe, Japan, where people would sing along to music videos minus the original vocals. Eager partiers would sing along to the songs while following the song lyrics on a video screen. This phenomenon became hugely popular in Japan in the 1970’s. Since then, it has succeeded in becoming a tremendous form of worldwide entertainment. Hosting your own karaoke party can be as simple as having guests sing along to the tunes on your stereo, or as big as hiring a professional karaoke DJ or karaoke KJ.

How to Hire a Arkansas DJ or Band
One of the most improtant decisions you will be faced with to make your event a success,is selecting a Professional DJ or Band.You can spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on your event,but if you hire the wrong entertainment,your party/event could most likely die out early.This is the one thing your guest will remember the most about your event.If they had a great time… To answer your question,if you hire your entertainment from an entertainment agency,an agency prescreens all of their entertainers.Hiring entertainment is an agents speciality, also consulting and advising the client what may be the best for the event..

Are you available for our event?
In most cases friday’s and saturday’s are the most heavily booked dates of the month.Holiday season’s tend to fill up very fast and a year in advance is really not to soon to guarantee a booking/date with a professional DJ or Band. When you are booking a DJ or Band,start off by indicting the date of the event,time and location. *Beware of DJs or Bands that book themselves* 

How Much Do You Charge per Event or Hour?
One of the worst ways to choose a DJ or Band is on price.Some DJs or Bands can quote prices as low as $150.00 for the night,This is called bottom feeding in the entertainment industry.I know it is tempting to choose the cheapest entertainment.However,when you consider pricing from a cheap bottle of wine to a expensive bottle of wine,There is a big differents between the two. Are you really getting the same professional service? How much experience does the DJ or Band have performing your type of event? Will they act as a Master Of Ceremonies for your event or just play music? Will the DJ or Band help you coordinate your event? How much do you charge if my event goes over an hour or two longer than I planned? How Much equipment will the DJ or Band bring to my event? Please keep in mind and make sure that a cheaper price is what you are getting and not a lower level of quality of entertainment.

Do you use a written contract?
Our company has a detailed contract for our customers to sign.This locks in the clients date,time,location or any special music,dress code,how many guest are attending and map.

Who is a professional and who is not?
As you speak with a DJ or Band,pay close attention to their professionalism over the phone.Did they just answer the phone,”Hello?” or with their companies business name? If you get their voice mail,did it say “You have reached So an So Entertainment” or You have reached the Jones residence”. This is how you will know if someone does this for a living or just for a weekend hobby! You want a professional at your event,so listen close to what they may tell you.Ask DJ or Band is this your full time job or do you work at a real job during the week?

What happens if something goes wrong?
Let’s say you hire a DJ or Band that works for themselves, well the day before your event they give you a call and inform you that,they are unable to preform your event or at the event their equipment fails.Do you have a backup? Hiring your entertainment with an entertainment agency in most cases can take that fear away.We have a backup plan and resources.With a few phone calls, will have your event on track once again.Please keep in mind when you hire a DJ or Band who books their own events,they have no backup plan.An entertainment agency can provide: event consulting,ideals and much more.
