Scout the venue before the gig.
Where the loading door is, where the outlets are, and what the neighbors will tolerate. Event venues across the Gem State and the Cowboy State, shared by working DJs.
Pick a state
Start with where you are playing. Each state page gathers its venues by town.
Find a venue
Narrow it down by state or town, then open a venue to see the notes.
What each venue page holds
The same few notes every time, so you can compare venues quickly.
Load-in
Which door do you use, and how far is it from your vehicle? Are there stairs? Is there an elevator? Is the path gravel?
Power
Is there adequate power for your setup? Is there a space at the venue where you need to bring your own power for a ceremony?
Sound limits
Curfews, volume rules and anything the neighbors care about. Is there a decibel limit?
Setup window
Does the venue require you to set up a certain amount of time before the event, or is it a relaxed environment?
Parking
Where do the cars get parked? Is parking on site, or do you have to park somewhere else? Is a trailer allowed?
Spaces
How many people fit in each space? Square footage too, when we know it.
Other notes
Anything else worth knowing before you arrive, like fog or haze rules, confetti or decor limits, who to check in with, and tips from DJs who have worked the venue.

About this site
This is a community project by working DJs. It is meant as a starting point, general information rather than final word, so always confirm details with the venue before event day.
