What kinds of music do you have?
We have a playlist of thousands of songs from any genre you could possibly want...country to hip hop, top 40 to jazz, the "oldies but goodies", and all your typical fun wedding songs that get people involved like YMCA, The Electric Slide, Hokey Pokey, Chicken Dance, etc. We always meet with the client well before the event so that we can get a feel for what their musical tastes are, and so that we can ascertain exactly what songs are a "must have" so that if we do not have it in our playlist, we WILL have it in time for the event.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash, money orders and personal checks.
How much is a deposit to reserve my date?
Since the cost of events varies, we ask for 1/2 of the event price as a non-refundable deposit to hold your date. The balance is to be paid no later than one week before the actual event.
Do you provide dinner or cocktail hour music?
We most certainly do! We can work out what type of music you would like playing during dinner/cocktail hour at your consultation.
Do you offer a light show?
Yes, we do offer the option of lighting to enhance your event, at a nominal extra charge.
What do you require from the customer?
We ask that you provide a 6 - 8 foot long banquet table, and we will need access to power outlets. If you are scheduling an outdoor event that has limited access to electricity, we can have a generator with us for an extra fee.
Do you take requests?
We love to take requests if you (the paying client) say that it is OK. We want the event to go the way that you want, so if you prefer country and Cousin Joe keeps asking for gangster rap, we will defer to your wishes. If you tell us that pretty much anything goes, great! We can also create a master list of "no-no" songs, that if someone requests them, we can say the client has asked us not to play that. The same goes for songs with explicit lyrics. We have them, but will not play them unless you, the client, specifically ask to hear that version. If there are songs you like that have explicit lyrics but there might be children present, we can always obtain the "radio" version of the song, too. We are here to make YOU happy!
How will the DJ be dressed?
Our DJ's are always dressed professionally, whether it be an outdoor/casual event, or the most formal wedding. For a formal/semi formal event, we require that they be in black dress slacks, a long sleeved dress shirt and tie. At a more casual event, they might be in casual pants and a company logo shirt. If you are planning a themed event, we can work with you if you would like them dressed differently. (i.e. western wear for a western event, beach wear for a beach party)
How does set up work?
It usually takes an hour to set up and sound check the equiptment, and we prefer to be set up an hour before guests begin arriving. That means if your event begins at 7pm, we need access to the area at 5pm. There are no set up/tear down fees, but we do charge a little extra if there are a lot of stairs and no elevator.
What if we want extra time?
We charge 75.00/hour overtime
Tipping and feeding the DJ?
Neither is required, nor expected, but if you would like to offer the DJ a bite to eat, feel free, I am sure they would appreciate it! As for tipping, we do not allow tip jars, but if your DJ did an exemplary job and you were thrilled with his/her service, tips are always appreciated.
Does the DJ take a break?
Our DJs are working for you the whole time, there are no timed breaks like with a band. Even if the DJ leaves to use the restroom, the computer program will keep the music running for the brief moment they are away from the booth.
Will our DJ act as the host or MC for our event?
Absolutely, if that is what you want. This is your "show" and we will do whatever you would like and that includes you choosing the level of involvement by the DJ. Our DJs are perfectly comfortable intorducing the bridal party, calling up guest speakers, calling tables to the buffet line, etc. You just tell us what you want us to do, we are here for you!
Will I have control of the volume?
Again, ABSOLUTELY. This is your event and we are there to make you happy. Our goal is to provide clean, clear sound for your dancing enjoyment, while still allowing your guests to hold a conversation at their tables. If you feel it is too loud, or not quite loud enough, we will do whatever it takes to make you happy.
