About
We have been in business for almost 20 years and have done over a 1000 weddings during that time.  Great music is vital to making the reception a success...something we take very seriously.  We highly encourage every bride and groom to put their personal stamp on their reception by selecting the music.  We spend a great deal of time communicating with each bride and groom and discussing EVERY detail of their big day so that we know exactly what they are expecting and so that we are prepared when their reception arrives.  We have several different systems that we use which helps us to match the system to the venue as acoustics are different in every environment.  In addition, we don't have a group of DJ's that work for us...so, if you book us, you get us!

Frequently Asked Questions for DJ
Describe your DJ style:
We cater to the bride and groom and believe that their special day needs to be about THEM. We spend a great deal of time with every bride and groom and get to know them personally which helps us know exactly what their expectations are.
 
What is your usual attire?
Formal...tuxedo attire.
 
If you do not have one of the songs pre-requested by the client, do you require that they provide it?
No, we obtain it.
 
How many other DJs do you work with?
We have a total of 3 DJ's who work for our company. Depending on if we have other bookings or not for the same date, 1 to 2 DJ's will be at the event.
 
What is the minimum amount of time you will DJ for?
Usually 3 hours.
 
Is the client able to meet the DJ before booking?
Absolutely.
 
Do you specialize in any ethnic or international events?
No. We've done many weddings involving several different ethnic groups.
 
Do you bring your own equipment?
Yes.
 
What (if any) special equipment, such as disco balls or lighting, is offered with your service?
Yes, lighting, bubble machine, karaoke, cordless mics, fog machine, etc.
 
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?
Yes, we require a table. We can set up as quickly as 20 minutes, however, usually allow ourselves plenty of time based on the venue.
 
Do you have any extra space requirements?
No.
 
Do you usually emcee the event or talk between songs?
We act as emcee for the reception and will talk occasionally between songs; however, we NEVER try to monopolize the reception...again it's about the bride and groom, NOT the DJ.
 
What is your policy on taking breaks? If you require a meal break, do you require that the client provide your meal?
Yes, we would prefer to receive something to eat. Usually the banquet place will provide the meal upon instruction from the bride and groom.
 
Will you arrange for recorded music to play during your breaks?
Yes.
 
What is your backup plan in case you become unavailable on the day of the event?
Yes
 
What is your overtime rate?
$100.00 per hour.
 
Do you charge for travel expenses? If yes, how much do you charge?
This is something we negotiate on an individual basis. It depends on where the reception is located and whether we would have to spend the night or not.

Tips and Advice
Make sure you meet and interview DJ’s prior to booking anyone.  Music is one of the most important parts of your wedding reception.  You want to make sure that your DJ understands what you are envisioning your reception to be.  Also, an experienced DJ is VERY important.  A DJ who has been in the business for a number of years has probably experienced many different situations that could occur and is often able to handle them spontaneously.   Lastly, get references from the DJ or else speak to various banquet facilities about the DJ and whether they have worked with them before or not.  Word of mouth is everything!!
