Request video clips from recent weddings (last 3-6 months). Live performance quality differs dramatically from audio recordings. Specify setlist flexibility — reputable bands accept custom song lists; those who insist on "their usual set" won't adapt to your preferences. Check backup musician arrangements.
English-Mandarin minimum for most Singapore weddings. For mixed-cultural events, trilingual (adding Malay or Tamil) or specialist multilingual emcees. Event flow management and graceful handling of mishaps matter more than polished reading skills. Ask for video of prior events to assess stage presence and crowd engagement.
Budget DJs often use pirated music libraries — custom requests means songs they don't have legally licensed. Reputable DJs subscribe to music licensing services (ASCAP, BMI equivalents) and can accommodate most requests. Some venues (hotels) fine DJs using unlicensed music; your venue may hold you accountable if the DJ brings legal issues.
Agencies (KHD Entertainment, A-List) provide convenience — they coordinate multiple acts and substitutions if needed, typically at 10-20% markup. Direct booking is cheaper and gives you more control over specific performers. For one-time events or first-time booking, agency convenience is often worth the markup.
