A: Arthur will be more than happy to take requests from your guests. However, he will not play any song that is inappropriate or vulgar. The music has all been thought out in advance and is tailored and customized to your personality and tastes. Most of the time it's better to give him a "do not play list" for he can usually read the crowd pretty well and know through experience what will keep them dancing.

A: Arthur carries a one million dollar liability insurance policy which covers you and your guests at any function. Most venues require an insurance policy before the day of the event.


Q: What time will you set up your equipment?
A: You can rest assured that Arthur will be completely set up one full hour before your event begins, dressed in a complete tuxedo.


Q: Do you sub contract or sell your bookings to other DJs?
A: Arthur will not sub contract out your party to anyone else. A lot of companies over book and then sell the bookings to other local Massachusetts disc jockeys. Arthur assures you that if you allow him to be a part of your celebration, he will be there ready to entertain. He only books one affair in a day so he won't be too tired at your event or too anxious to leave to do another.


Q: How far will you travel?
A: Arthur travels within reason to most Massachusetts or New England destinations. Extra charges would apply if the event was a certain distance or if it was an overnight stay.
