Q: What type of music will be
played?
A: Your music likes and dislikes are discussed in
detail before the event. You are given the opportunity on the wedding
planner to choose your special songs, requests and songs not to be played.
You can choose if you would like us to play requests from guests. Explicit
lyric music will not be played.
|
|
Q: What is the charge for planning,
travel and setup time?
A: There is no extra charge at all, it is included in
your package.
|
|
Q: What time do you arrive?
A: We normally try to be there 1.5- 2 hours in
advance. This gives us plenty of time to load in, setup and run sound tests.
This also allows us time to discuss the evenings events with the hall,
caterer, photographer and videographer. Guests normally arrive a little
early so we like to have music playing at that time.
|
|
Q: What will you be wearing?
A: We always wear clothing appropriate to the event.
For formal affairs we wear Suit and Tie's or Tuxedo's
|
|
Q: How loud will the music be?
A: During cocktail hour and dinner the music will be
at a volume loud enough to be enjoyed but not so loud conversation is
difficult. After dinner the volume will be increased to a level so that the
people dancing can enjoy it but no so loud it irritates the rest of your
guests. We monitor the volume during the entire event and ask guests if it
is at a pleasant level. We understand that volume levels can be the biggest
complaint about a DJ.
|
|
Q: How many hours of entertainment
time do we get?
A: You are entitled to 4 to 6 hours of entertainment
time based on package purchased for weddings and 4 hours for parties. Our
packages are based on the normal amount of time an event usually lasts.
|
|
Q: Can you play longer if needed?
A: Yes! If you would like to extend your party its no
problem in most cases! Just let us know before the event ends that you would
like us to continue past the contracted time. If you exceed the contracted
hours of playing time we will simply charge you a reasonable amount of
overtime in either 1\2 hour or full hour increments.
|
|
Q: Do we have to provide the
entertainer with a meal?
A: We do not expect you to provide a meal for us.
Including your entertainer with dinner is considered a courtesy not a
necessity.
|
|
Q: Do we have to tip our
entertainer.
A: We feel you are not obligated in any way to tip
your entertainer. If you feel your entertainer did a great job and would
like to express your gratitude with a tip it would be appreciated.
|
|
Q: Do You Take Breaks?
A: No we do not take formal breaks. The music will be
non stop for the contracted period.
|
|
Q: What type of equipment do you
use?
A: We only use professional grade sound equipment.
Some of the brand names that we use are: Crown power amps, LS/Warrior and
Superior Sound loudspeakers, Sennheiser microphones, American DJ and Numark.

|
Q: Why are your prices much more
affordable than other DJ's?
A: Very simple, We keep our overhead down and pass
the savings onto our customers. We don't have all the flashy videos, offices
and advertising that ultimately adds to the cost of your entertainment. Do
those things make your event any better? The answer is no.
Its our goal to offer you professional and personal service
at a reasonable price.
Q: Why Do Professional
Wedding DJ's Cost So Much?
A: Most people think that rates are high
considering the entertainer only plays for 4-6 hours.
Well the truth of the matter there is allot
more work involved than most people realize.
Lets take the typical wedding and break down
the time involved for a professional DJ. |

Q: Is it true that because a DJ
service is less expensive they cant be any good?
A: This is something the higher priced DJ services
would like you believe. We are a mid priced service that offers just as good
OR better professional service than our higher priced competition. Although
you should be leery of other companies that are significantly lower priced.
