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.
 
What is the minimum amount of time you will DJ for?
On Saturdays we have a four hour minimum. We are always flexible on days other than Saturdays.
 
Is the client able to meet the DJ before booking?
Yes. We are always happy to meet beforehand, at the couples convenience.
 
Do you bring your own equipment?
Yes, we provide everything that is needed with the exception of a table (appx. 6'). This is usually provided by the Banquet Hall or Caterer.
 
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?
Your DJ will arrive at least 1 hour prior to your start time. Setup takes appx. 30 minutes, but we always allow time to speak with your banquet manager, staff and other vendors beforehand. A table is normally provided by your banquet facility.
 
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.
 
What is your policy on taking breaks? If you require a meal break, do you require that the client provide your meal?
We do not take a break, but a meal is generally provided for your DJ.
 
What is your backup plan in case you become unavailable on the day of the event?
Yes, there is always a DJ available, and we have never missed an event.
 
Do you charge for travel expenses? If yes, how much do you charge?
Our rates include Manatee, Sarasota & Charlotte Counties. We do travel to the Tampa area, adding a nominal travel fee.

Additional Questions and Answers
How do my caterer, photographer, etc. know the schedule of events:   We will orchestrate & coordinate all events of your day with these professionals so that they do not miss out on anything.

Will you be available to stay longer than agreed upon?   Absolutely!  We never overbook for the same day and are always available to provide extra time.

Do I pay for the time it takes to set up & break down your equipment?   NO.   The time, as indicated on your agreement, is totally dedicated to being your MC & providing music.

When should I reserve my date with you, and how do I go about doing so?  Call us as soon as you are definite about your wedding date.  It is never too early to "lock in your date".  (The location can always be called in prior to your event.) 

Can your couples request music that is not on your list?   Absolutely!  We send a sample music list with several hundred choices but always encourage you to make your own list, if you wish.
