Initial organisation for the event was good, however on the day, the DJ did not arrive at the venue until 18:30 (for a 19:00 start), when we had expected him at 18:00. This put me under some stress and pressure as I needed to return home, shower and change for the event. When the DJ did finally arrive, it wasn't the person I was expecting. The original DJ had subcontracted the gig to somebody else. While this was not an issue in itself, the change was not communicated to me (a bit unprofessional) and it meant that the new DJ had none of the music choices that I had sent in. The new DJ was professional and competent, playing a range of party music, however he didnt engage with the audience at all, which I would have preferred. Overall, the party was enjoyed by all the guests, however some elements of communication with the host could have been better.
