Describe your DJ style:
My style is upbeat without gimmicks. I customize every wedding to my customers needs. This includes the music as well as the emcee work.
What is your usual attire?
This is my customers choice. I ususally wear black tie for evening receptions but I have many appropriate options for a wide variety of receptions.
What is the minimum amount of time you will DJ for?
three hours on weekdays (Monday thru Thursday), four hours on weekends (Friday, Saturday, Sunday)
Is the client able to meet the DJ before booking?
Yes, I prefer to meet in person or by phone with the bride and groom before any contracts are sent.
Do you specialize in any ethnic or international events?
I have played many different types of ethnic and international events over the years. The types I have done the most are Jewish, Latin, Italian, Irish and English.
Do you bring your own equipment?
Yes I bring all of my own equipment and lights. I also bring backups for all essential components.
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 arrive 90 minutes before my equipment needs to be setup. My setup takes about thirty minutes leaving plenty of time for unexpected delays and a chance to coordinate with any other vendors who are already on site. I do need a six foot table to be provided. If notified in advance, I can provide my own table.
Do you usually emcee the event or talk between songs?
Yes I do usually emcee the reception. Talking between songs is done only as needed and kept to a minimum during dancing.
What is your policy on taking breaks? If you require a meal break, do you require that the client provide your meal?
I do not require a meal break and do not require that a meal be provided.
What is your backup plan in case you become unavailable on the day of the event?
I am the office manager at Jay Goodley Entertainment and am associated with nine other professional disc jockeys, however, I have never missed a wedding reception
