Describe your DJ style:
My style at any event depends on the clients needs and wants.
What is your usual attire?
My attire at any event depends on the event itself. For receptions, My attire consists of solid black dress slacks, a long sleeve white button down shirt, tie, black patent leather shoes, sometimes a matching jacket. If the client requires me to wear a tux, a rental fee will be incurred and added to the final booking fee.
If you do not have one of the songs pre-requested by the client, do you require that they provide it?
I work closely with all couples to try and have what they request on hand. If I don't have it and am not able to get it, but they have it, I ask them to submit a returnable copy.
How many other DJs do you work with?
I am the sole proprieter and owner/operator of my company. I don't have employees.
What is the minimum amount of time you will DJ for?
The absolute minimum for services is 3 hours.
Is the client able to meet the DJ before booking?
I require ALL brides and grooms to meet face to face with me at least once prior to the event - NO EXCEPTIONS!
Do you specialize in any ethnic or international events?
No.
Do you bring your own equipment?
I own approximately $100,000.00 dollars worth of equipment and it travels with me wherever I go. I carry 3 complete audio systems at all times in the trailer in the rare case of equipment failure.
What (if any) special equipment, such as disco balls or lighting, is offered with your service?
I can provide whatever special equipment the client wishes.
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 normally require 2 hours prior to arrival of guests for setup. Larger setups that include large lighting rigs require more time for setup and more time for breakdown.I require the site provide me with a 6 foot banquet table to set my music on. If the site can not provide one, I can provide my own.
Do you have any extra space requirements?
My space requirements are no less than 7 feet from the back wall to the edge of the dance floor, and at least 10 feet in width for proper spacing of speakers and lights. CORNER PLACEMENT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE IN ANY ROOM OR VENUE!
Do you usually emcee the event or talk between songs?
I do.
What is your policy on taking breaks? If you require a meal break, do you require that the client provide your meal?
I don't normally eat at events. I am too busy coordinating. If the couple wishes to have me eat with their guests, I am always honored to do so.
Will you arrange for recorded music to play during your breaks?
I dont take breaks - see the answer above.
What is your backup plan in case you become unavailable on the day of the event?
I have two associates I can call on in the case of emergency.
What is your overtime rate?
My Overtime rate is $50 dollars per half hour and is due immediately in cash, one minute after the start time. All overtime must be cleared with any banquet facility first.
Do you charge for travel expenses? If yes, how much do you charge?
$50 dollars one way for events more than 50 miles from KICKIT PRODUCTIONS home base. If an event site is more than 50 miles but less than 100 miles round trip, the charge is a flat $50 dollars.
