* Conduct a personal interview with the band leader or DJ. Make sure they are cooperative, helpful and sensitive to your needs, polite and specialise in weddings. They should ideally arrive at least an hour before the event. Make sure you have checked him play at someone else's wedding or view a videotape of the DJ at work.
