Frequently Asked QuestionsHow Much Do You Charge?Our rates are based on several factors, including our professional experience, emcee ability, overall level of customer service, complete event coordination, your specific equipment needs, and our vast musical knowledge. Collectively, we have over 15 years experience as professional mobile disc jockeys.We are not the most expensive entertainer you'll find, nor the cheapest (for good reason!!). If price is your ONLY consideration, we'd be happy to give you names and numbers of other less experienced DJs. Our clients are people who recognize that their guests will remember their event for a long time and don't want to risk settling for an average entertainer. If you value superior service and unparalleled professionalism, call today to schedule a no-obligation consultation. When Will My DJ Arrive?We typically arrive at least one hour prior to the contracted start time to setup our equipment. Arriving early will allow your DJ to setup and double-check the equipment well before your guests begin to arrive.Can We See You Perform Live?The short answer is No. We are an employee at a private event, and therefore don't have the right to invite outside guests. Instead, we're happy to meet with you as often as you like to discuss your entertainment needs before making your hiring decision. Additionally, we’re happy to provide recent references & testimonials for your review.How Do I Reserve Your Services?We require a non-refundable $100.00 booking deposit, along with a signed contract to reserve our services. Your outstanding balance is then due two weeks before the event; unless prior arrangements are made. Please be aware that popular dates oftentimes fill 6-12 months in advance, so don't delay... Check My DateDo You Charge for Set-up / Tear-down?No. Set-up time is included in our rates. We typically arrive 1 hour before the start of the event. Please let us know in advance if your event is not on ground level (specify stairs or elevator), or if you see any obstacles to our set-up.Should We Tip Our DJ?Gratuities are neither required or expected, but appreciated when warranted. With that in mind, we will be working extra hard for you, so if you feel your DJ gave you a great performance, then a tip would be appropriate.What Do You Wear?For weddings, we wear either a tuxedo or shirt & tie... whichever you prefer. For more casual events, such as school dances, class reunions, and private parties, we typically wear an embroidered polo shirt with khaki pants.Will Our DJ Make Announcements?Yes! We don't just play music at your event, we take the extra step to serve as your "Master of Ceremonies" making all the necessary announcements.For weddings, we typically announce: Arrival of Bridal Party, Bridal Toast, Cake Cutting, Blessing, Meal Service, Special Dances, Garter/Bouquet, & More! Are You Insured?Yes. For the safety of you and your guests, we carry a $1,000,000 liability insurance policy on every event. This policy covers you and your guests in the unlikely event that you would be physically injured due directly to negligence on our behalf. However, this policy does not cover damages to our equipment or recordings. As the client, you are personally responsible for all damages caused by event attendees and other vendors, whether invited or not.How Much Room Do You Need?Our average DJ system requires a 10’ wide by 6' deep area with two 15amp electrical circuits within 50 feet. For the best results, we highly recommend placing the DJ as close to the dancing area as possible, as this better enables us to coordinate and interact with you and your guests.Do You Need a Table?If available, one 6' or 8' skirted table would be appreciated. If you're able to provide us with a table, please make sure the proper linens and table skirting are provided.Will You Stay Longer If Needed?Absolutely! Many of our clients request overtime the night of the event when a number of guests are still on the dance floor. You can purchase additional slots of overtime at $75.00 per half hour. Overtime must be paid in full the night of the event.What Kind of Music Do You Play?Simply put... whatever you and your guests want to hear! We pride ourselves in having one of the most diverse and complete music libraries in the DJ industry. At every single event, we literally bring thousands of hit songs from the 1940's to the current Top 40 (and everything in between)! You're more than welcome to put together an advance request list, or simply let your DJ play to the tastes and requests of your guests.Can I Create a Music Play List?Sure! Using our online event planner, you can search our library by song title or artist, and then add songs to one of three customized play lists (Must Play, Play If Possible, and Do Not Play). Feel free to look through our searchable online database anytime.When building your music play list, please keep this bit of advice in mind: For a truly Exceptional Reception, your DJ needs the freedom to read the crowd and make adjustments to the music programming accordingly. We ask that you try not to program music for the entire night, and trust us as professionals to select the right mix for your crowd. During planning , you will be limited to 25 Must Play and 75 Play If Possible song requests for the reception. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
