Mobile DJ Role #2, Announcements & Coordination

As a professional mobile DJ, you will play an integral part in your client's event. An experienced, professional DJ will play several roles before and during the event to ensure that it will be a fun and memorable celebration.

Announcements and Coordination
 
You will be responsible for making all the necessary announcements throughout the event so that guests and other vendors know what is going to happen. Photographers, for example, don’t appreciate when a DJ goes ahead with an unannounced portion of the event that might cause them to miss meaningful photos. You will act as the master of ceremonies (MC) making sure that everything your client wants to happen, happens in an orderly way. Often you will be playing music while at the same time making announcements or facilitating festivities. This means that you need to be comfortable multi-tasking while coming off smooth, calm and collected. A DJ who effectively fulfills the role of coordinator and announcer will create a flow to the celebration and avoid a choppy, haphazard feel to the event.

Preparation is the key to making announcements at the appropriate time and ensuring that everything happens in smooth order. You will communicate with your client before the event to get the information necessary to act as MC. There are various ways to go about communicating and planning with your client including online planning tools, hard copy planning forms that are completed by the client and returned to you. Or, you might schedule a phone conference or a face to face meeting to go over the details of the event in person.
