What matters most
Give the DJ one host contact for decisions so instructions do not come from everyone at once.
Points to work through
- Walk through the running order and key moments together before guests arrive.
- Agree how the host signals changes on the night — a word or a hand signal.
- Confirm the finish time, overtime terms and who can approve an extension.
- Hand over the must-play and do-not-play lists in writing, not verbally in passing.
