Describe your DJ style:
Very outgoing and approachable! Guests are encouraged to participate and made to feel like they're a part of the whole event! The music is just the base for the Master of Ceremonies and staging of events. The reception is all about you!
What is your usual attire?
Unless there is a themed event, Airwave Dave! ALWAYS performs in tuxedo!
If you do not have one of the songs pre-requested by the client, do you require that they provide it?
Airwave Dave! brings 20,000+ songs to every event! While there is a chance the song requested may not be in the repertoire, if the newlyweds-to-be have the song, they're welcome to bring it, if Airwave Dave! can't obtain it from his music subscription services.
How many other DJs do you work with?
You're looking at him!
What is the minimum amount of time you will DJ for?
The average wedding reception usually lasts four (4) hours from start to finish. That's generally the timetable Airwave Dave! likes to start with.
Is the client able to meet the DJ before booking?
Airwave Dave! would love to meet all of the brides he books prior to booking, however, many of his clients are out-of-town and are hosting a destination wedding. Airwave Dave! has so many references you can call, after having talked to him, you'll know if he's right for your function!
Do you specialize in any ethnic or international events?
Airwave Dave! does theme weddings, including 60's shindig weddings where he comes dressed as Austin Powers!
Do you bring your own equipment?
Airwave Dave! brings all his own DJ gear to every event!
What (if any) special equipment, such as disco balls or lighting, is offered with your service?
Airwave Dave! believes that you deserve all the services that a DJ can provide ... that's why he INCLUDES ALL LIGHTING with every package, NOT a la carte priced like other services tend to do!
How much time do you usually need to set up? Do you require that the site or client provide a table for you to set up on?
Airwave Dave! likes to be set up at least 30-45 minutes PRIOR to guest arrival; therefore, plan to have a 3-hour advance allowance for set-up.
Do you have any extra space requirements?
Generally, a 5' X 15' space is sufficient for set-up; however, Airwave Dave! likes to be right next to the dance floor [NO RISERS!] so he can interact with the crowd. [See photos and video for further explanation.]
Do you usually emcee the event or talk between songs?
When appropriate, Airwave Dave! interjects whatever announcements and/or rhetoric is neccessary to make your event successful!
What is your policy on taking breaks? If you require a meal break, do you require that the client provide your meal?
Airwave Dave! has all the particulars about eats and drinks in his booking agreement. At most events, he's so busy emceeing he doesn't have time for eats, so he eats in advance of the event!
Will you arrange for recorded music to play during your breaks?
Recorded music is played during your dinner or cocktail hour, unless you've made arrangements with Airwave Dave! to play cocktail piano music for your reception.
What is your backup plan in case you become unavailable on the day of the event?
If Airwave Dave! should become incapacitated or heaven forbid, deceased, prior to your performance, his business insurance policy covers the replacement costs of a DJ with similar styles and talents to his!
What is your overtime rate?
Airwave Dave! currently bills overtime at $200 per hour, cash, given by the host 15 minutes PRIOR to the start of the overtime period, otherwise, Airwave Dave! will wind the crowd down to the close of the event, which includes conducting and hosting the send-off of the newlyweds!
Do you charge for travel expenses? If yes, how much do you charge?
Within 100 miles of Austin and San Antonio, there is no travel fee. However, outside of that 100-mile area, there is an upcharge, plus hotel and meals.
