Question 2

How do I choose the right DJ for my event?

Accepted Answer

Watch videos of them performing live (not studio mixes), check their experience with your event type, ask about their music library range, MC skills, and ability to read the crowd. Meet them before booking.

Question 3

What audio equipment is needed for an outdoor wedding?

Accepted Answer

A professional sound system with adequate wattage for the space, subwoofers for bass, wireless microphones for the ceremony, and a backup system. Your DJ or band should handle this, but confirm specs for outdoor venues.

Question 4

Should I hire an MC or have the DJ handle announcements?

Many Israeli DJs double as MCs and do it well. A dedicated MC adds showmanship and frees the DJ to focus on music. For large or formal events, a professional MC is recommended.

What is a reasonable overtime rate for a DJ or band?

Accepted Answer

DJs typically charge ₪500–₪1,500 per extra hour. Bands may charge ₪2,000–₪5,000+ per hour depending on size. Clarify overtime rates in the contract and set a budget cap to avoid surprises.
