Frequently Asked Questions for DJ
What music genres are in your collection?
50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, Classic Rock, Country, Hip Hop, Motown, Oldies, Pop, R&B, Rock
 
Do you have liability insurance?
No
 
Describe your DJ style:
My style depends on how you want it to be. I can be very laid back and out of the picture or I can be very upbeat and interact with the guests. Since 1996 we have entertained for many functions and have the ability to easily adjust to your preference.
 
What is your usual attire?
I normally arrive in a full suit and tie or as requested but will wear a tuxedo if requested for a small additional charge to cover rental fees.
 
If you do not have one of the songs pre-requested by the client, do you require that they provide it?
No. I have a very large database of music ranging from the 50's to the current chart toppers. I will ask you in advance if you have any special music requests. Most often, I will have your selections and if I do not, I will make sure to get it for you. If for any reason I are unable to obtain the songs you requested, I will let you know and offer you the option of providing it yourself.
 
How many other DJs do you work with?
I work with one other DJ who occasionally will assist me with setting up and tearing down. In the event that I become unavailable due to illness or family emergency, my partner will take over for me.
 
What is the minimum amount of time you will DJ for?
The minimum booking time is four hours and the maximum booking time is six hours.
 
Is the client able to meet the DJ before booking?
Absolutely! As a part of our normal booking process, I actually prefer to meet with the bride/groom at least once before the event. This allows us to verify all of your information and make sure that you get the personal attention that you deserve. I can come to you, or you can come to my office.
 
Do you specialize in any ethnic or international events?
No. Although I am open many events, I specialize in weddings and birthdays/dances.
 
Do you bring your own equipment?
Yes! I have my own selection of quality equipment and music. The only thing I require from the facilty is a table for set-up purposes and of course electrical hook-up.
 
What (if any) special equipment, such as disco balls or lighting, is offered with your service?
I provide a free basic lighting package with my service. You can also upgrade to our deluxe package for an additional fee. This service is optional and if you prefer not to have the lighting package, just let me know.
 
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?
I prefer to have at least 2 hours to set-up just to make sure everything is perfect. Of course the sooner I can set-up the better. I do require a table for set-up but I normally work these details out with the facility directly.
 
Do you have any extra space requirements?
For the purpose of lighting, I will need at least a 15 x 6ft. minimum space. The lighting set-up is 10ft. wide and can be adjusted from 9 to 11ft. high.
 
Do you usually emcee the event or talk between songs?
Yes, but again that depends on what you want. I will take care of the introductions, interact with your guests, offer contests and games and maybe even crack a joke or two. If prefer that I do not do these events, you can simply let me know.
 
What is your policy on taking breaks? If you require a meal break, do you require that the client provide your meal?
No but if offered, I appreciate the gesture.
 
What is your backup plan in case you become unavailable on the day of the event?
Yes, I work with a partner who normally assists me from time to time. If for any reason I am unable to make it to your event, rest assured that he will be there to take over.
 
What is your overtime rate?
If you decide to extend your event, I offer a discount of $25.00 off of your regular hourly rate for the fifth hour and $50.00 off of the sixth hour which is my maximum. If you insist on more than six hours, the rate will be 1.5 times the normal hourly rate.
 
Do you charge for travel expenses? If yes, how much do you charge?
First of all, I never charge travel expenses to travel to your event but I do charge a small fee to travel to your location for the pre-event meeting if the distance is more than 20 miles. The fee, if over 20 miles is $40.00 and will be conveniently added to your invoice. To avoid this fee, we can arrange to meet at a central location that is within the 20 mile radius.
