The DJ profession is not currently regulated, but this does not mean that there is no training or study to become one. Only a few diplomas are recognised by the State, including that of producer DJ for modern music. Numerous schools offer technical training in mixing as well as in the management of computer-assisted music (CAM) software: DJ-Network, Music Art School, Zygomatik, DJ AcadéMix, Bakélite Studio... As for the UCPA DJ's School in Poitiers and Lyon, it offers a training course at the end of which learners can obtain a certificate of musical and scenic animator. This is a free and paid training course accessible to those who have a CAP and are at least 18 years old.

More than a simple musical programmer, which would be too simple, the DJ is able to adapt his musical choices according to the event, the public and the place where he provides the entertainment. In his job, he will have to prepare an adapted programme, develop and vary his musical culture, master the various mixing techniques, master the MAO software, intervene at the microphone during his set, create pieces of music or make musical arrangements.

The atmosphere is one of the elements that guarantee the success of an event. It is therefore important to focus on this so that guests remember your event. Calling in a DJ allows you to have good entertainment so that everyone can feel at ease, whether on the dance floor, in their chairs or in front of the bar.

To find a DJ, you can turn to a directory like StarOfService. Just click on the region and then on the city to get in touch with many of them.

The services of a DJ are around 450 - 600 € on average depending on the place, the duration and the nature of the service. DJ entertainment at a wedding is generally more expensive insofar as the DJ is required for the entire evening with many more services: musical games, karaoke, etc. The equipment to be provided also changes the cost of the service. For example, for a wedding, a DJ can charge around 650 € until 2 am. The reputation of the DJ also plays a big role in his remuneration and for large events, one DJ may not be enough and this will lead to additional costs. Some DJs also offer additional activities and accessories, such as fog machines, different types of lighting (stroboscope, light shows, etc.) or the broadcasting of photos on a giant screen with a video projector.

The choice of DJ is very important for a successful event. You will need to find out about his experience, although a novice DJ may be up to the task, but you will not necessarily want him to make his debut at your event. And to be sure you know what he is talking about, you should ask him specific questions, such as the type of equipment he intends to use, his needs in terms of lighting and connections, the number of square metres he needs for the installation of his equipment... You should also not hesitate to select several DJs and then to have a long dialogue with them, whether it is face to face, by telephone or by email.

- How does he usually perform? - What equipment does he use? - What do they need to perform well? - Which musical genres is he most comfortable with? - What is his professional experience as a DJ?
