We offer a tasteful approach without any unwanted hype. Our philosophy for wedding receptions is simple. Make working with us easy and enjoyable.

We understand our clients want a stress free evening, professionally done announcements, music mixed to please all ages, provided with polite enthusiasm.

We encourage visiting our office for an in depth consolation, or call and we will send you literature and a DVD to view. We offer convenience. We eliminate stress. No hard sell, pricing gimmicks or harassing phone calls. 

New for 2009 - We are now offering a great live band if you’re in the market for Live Music.  The Pearl Brothers!  Four guys that have been playing together for over (20) years.

Describe your DJ style: Professional with a flare for creating fun, upbeat receptions. We don't impose our ideas or agenda on anyone. We never would embarrass you or your guests with inappropriate behavior or canned routines. It's your day, we will follow your direction and music selections.

How many other DJs do you work with? We have our in house staff of professionals. We do not sub contract other DJs, or send events to other DJ services.

Do you have replacement DJs in case you become unavailable on the wedding day? Yes. We have back up personnel on call.

Do you specialize in any ethnic and/or international events? We are happy to play any special ethnic music that may be requested by the bride and groom. Usually they supply it for us, via CDs.

Is the bride able to meet the DJ before booking? She can meet them if needed. Normally the owner will cal the bride and groom the week before to confirm all details, including which DJ has been selected for them. We do offer the option to select a specific DJ if they would like.

If you do not have one of the songs pre-requested by the couple, do you require that they provide it? We are very flexible about getting music that the bride and groom would like, but didn't see on our online music library. If the couple has the song on a CD, and are nice enough to bring it, that is helpful, but not a requirement.

What is your usual attire? We prefer to wear a black tuxedo, but can certainly wear a sport coat and tie, or even casual attire if the reception calls for it.

Do you bring your own equipment? Our DJ service is inclusive. We supply a (3) way speaker system, lighting package, wireless mic for toasts, and devirse music library via iBook laptops.

What (if any) special equipment, such as disco balls or lighting, is offered with your service? We have an option for a bubble machine or fog machine if desired. The rest of our lighting is included in our fee.

What is your minimum amount of time you will DJ for? Our packages for receptions always include up to (6) hours of music, which is (2) hours of cocktail-dinner music, and up to (4) hours of dance music. If you need less time, we can supply whatever you need.

Do you usually emcee the reception and/or talk between songs? We are happy to emcee any portion of the reception. Usually we are involved with the introduction of the bridal party for grand entrance, and also introducing the couple on their first dance and other special parent dances. We did some speaking between songs ( unless asked not to ) as needed, but we don't just talk to hear our voice.

Do you take any breaks? No. Music is continuous for the six hours of contracted time.

Will you arrange for recorded music to play during your breaks? We don't take breaks.

Do you require a meal break? If yes, do you require that the wedding party provide your meal? We don't take a meal break. Most couples understand that their DJ is there longer than any other wedding vendor, and most do include us with the meal. If they elect not to, that is okay too.

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? We always arrive at least 1.5 hours before the start time of the reception. We need no table or any other special items, as we supply our own.

Do you have any extra space requirements? No. Our space for standard set up is approxiamately 5' wide by 10' wide. Most venues can easily meet this, but we can fit into a smaller space if needed.

What is your overtime rate? $60.00 for 1/2 hour, or $120.00 for a full hour of dance music.

Do you charge for travel expenses? If yes, how much do you charge? We include all of the Twin Cities and most suburbs in our base cost. Our travel fees (if needed) are quoted based in the actual distance. Just call or e-mail us with your location, and we will happily give you a qoute.
