Our attire is chosen by our Bride & Groom....ie: Tuxedo, Suit & Tie, Casual, Tropical. (the choices are on our format sheets)
If you do not have one of the songs pre-requested by the client, do you require that they provide it?
We ask that a special music list be sent to us two
weeks prior to the wedding day so that we can be sure to have everything that is requested. In the event that we are unable to find a particular song we let our couple know ahead of time in the hopes that they may have it.
How many other DJs do you work with?
Black Tie DJs is a small company of four DJs specializing in weddings. All of our DJs have many years of wedding experience.

Do you usually emcee the event or talk between songs?
As your Master of Ceremonies, we will personally announce all of the traditional highlights as well as any special announcements that you wish, ie: Family birthdays, anniversaries, etc.
