Hi!  My name is Zac Barr, and I am a veteran DJ/Emcee with over 17 years experience in making wedding-day dreams come true.  I believe in a personal approach to each and every wedding.  Just as no two couples are alike, neither are any two weddings.

I understand that you have a very clear vision of what your wedding day will look like.  It is my goal to work with you at every step to ensure that your wedding day is just what you’ve always dreamed it would be.  I will work with you to create a list of songs that are important to you.  I will also work with you to design your personal "order of events" which will take place on your special day.  I am committed to making sure that I worry about everything so that you won’t have to worry about anything!

In order to ensure that everything moves along smoothly and that nothing is left out or missed, I will also take the time to coordinate with your banquet manager, photographer and videographer prior to your event.  I do all of this so that I can guarantee your satisfaction.

Since your vision of the perfect wedding probably DOESN’T include big speakers on sticks 4 feet up in the air, I am proud to use the Bose L1 speaker system.  The L1 offers unparalleled sound by Bose, in an unobtrusive, attractive package which will not detract from your carefully decorated Reception Hall.  I also offer tasteful, state-of-the-art DMX-controlled LED lighting and the opportunity to dance your first dance "under the stars..."

These are just a few of the benefits of working with DJ Zac Barr.  Please feel free to call today for a free consultation at (518) 233-0915!

I look forward to hearing from you!

Describe your DJ style: I have been described as "fun and outgoing" without being "over the top" or "in-your-face."

How many other DJs do you work with? I am a solo-operator.

Do you have replacement DJs in case you become unavailable on the wedding day? I am part of a large network of DJs, and have a back-up plan in the extremely unlikely instance that I am in the hospital or deceased on the day of your event!

Is the bride able to meet the DJ before booking? I strongly encourage a face-to-face meeting at a location of your convenience prior to booking. It is as important that I be comfortable with you as a client as it is for you to be comfortable with me!

If you do not have one of the songs pre-requested by the couple, do you require that they provide it? As long as the song is LEGALLY and commercially available, I am happy to purchase any songs needed to make your special day complete. If you are seeking a particular "live version" or remix, then I would ask that you provide that to me at least 2 weeks prior to your reception.

What is your usual attire? Typically I wear a tux, but at your direction, I can dress as formally or informally as you request!

Do you bring your own equipment? Absolutely! I am proud to use all professional grade equipment and the Bose L1 Pro Audio system which provides unparalleled sound in an unobtrusive, attractive package that will not detract from your carefully decorated Reception Hall!

What (if any) special equipment, such as disco balls or lighting, is offered with your service? All wedding packages include DMX-controlled LED lighting effects at your request.

What is your minimum amount of time you will DJ for? This is entirely up to you. I will gladly tailor a Wedding package to your specific needs.

Do you usually emcee the reception and/or talk between songs? I act as both DJ and Emcee. It is my pleasure and honor to do any announcements necessary to keep your Reception flowing smoothly and without worry to you! As for my level of interactivity, you help determine that during our planning sessions.

Do you take any breaks? No.

Do you require a meal break? If yes, do you require that the wedding party provide your meal? While I never turn down a good meal, it is never necessary to provide a meal for me. If one is provided however, I do ask that you let me know in advance so that I can make appropriate arrangements.

How much time do you usually need to set up? Do you require that the site and/or couple provide a table for you to setup on? I require about one hour from arrival to first note played. As a rule, however, I will arrive at the venue 1 1/2 to 2 hours prior to your music start time, just to make sure everything is ready and perfect for your event. I provide my own table and skirting.

Do you have any extra space requirements? No.

What is your overtime rate? This depends entirely upon the package you purchase.

Do you charge for travel expenses? If yes, how much do you charge? There is no travel charge within my local area (50 miles from my home location in Cohoes, NY.) Outside of this area, additional charges (based on current IRS standards) will apply.

The bride and groom, as well as the wedding party, should participate in the dancing as much as possible. If the entire wedding party is on the dance floor, guests will definitely join them. If the bride is dancing, guests will NEVER leave her dancing alone!

·         The bride and groom should NEVER leave the reception for any reason. When guests don’t see the bride and groom enjoying the celebration, they may be inclined to leave.

·         Remember that you’re inviting guests of all ages. If you want all of your guests to enjoy the reception, allow the DJ to play music for everyone.
