What is your usual attire?
Island themed clothes, business casual (shirt & pants), business formal (new suit 1/09) and formal (tuxedo and gown).
If you do not have one of the songs pre-requested by the client, do you require that they provide it?
All songs are provided by Mobile Music 1 on CD.
How many other DJs do you work with?
We network with professional DJs and other entertainers across the US.
Is the client able to meet the DJ before booking?
Yes, if the bride's schedule permits. One of us is usually available most weekday and Sunday mornings and middays, most weekday evenings.
Do you bring your own equipment?
Mobile Music 1 has everything needed for wedding ceremonies and the reception party afterwards. We also offer split locations and transmitting to remote speakers so that cocktail and dinner music can be enjoyed by all, even if it's not in the same locale!
What (if any) special equipment, such as disco balls or lighting, is offered with your service?
Not only do we have an 'intelligent' mobile DJ light show, we have a modern version of the disco ball called the Starball. The black sphere rotates slowly and the light emits from the small holes, creating the classic effect of the disco ball while keeping with a very clean, polished presentation.
For garden/lawn weddings or for live dinner music, Sheila can perfom with her digital piano. Although some may call it a 'keyboard', the quality is better than that. It sounds just like a piano and had a hefty price tag when we purchased it.
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?
Most of the time requirement depends on the load in, what we're bringing in and other logistic concerns. We'll take care of that ourselves. The venue can provide the table and skirting or we can use our own.
Do you have any extra space requirements?
The 6-foot table should be approximately 4 feet from the wall and adjacent to the dance floor.
Do you usually emcee the event or talk between songs?
Typically, Dan will announce the formalities and will interact sparingly to bring the party to the next level.
What is your policy on taking breaks? If you require a meal break, do you require that the client provide your meal?
Occasionally, our clients will provide a meal and we take turns to make sure everything goes smoothly. Typically, we pack a few sandwiches and find time before the event to go over notes, practice the grand entrance and eat.
Will you arrange for recorded music to play during your breaks?
If Sheila is playing live dinner music, recorded music will be playing during her breaks.
What is your backup plan in case you become unavailable on the day of the event?
Because we're a 2 person team, if either becomes unavailable we will continue and will simply bring an assistant along.
What is your overtime rate?
Mobile Music 1 charges a flat rate per event. It makes budgeting for your entertainment so much easier!
Do you charge for travel expenses? If yes, how much do you charge?
So far, we haven't charged for travel. If we do, I'm sure that it would be enough to cover costs only, such as plane tickets, hotel rooms and meals. So please, Please, PLEASE let us know if you are looking having us at your destination wedding in Maui. Aloha, y'all!
