Describe your DJ style:
Our sytle is and elegant, understated, "low-key" approach for all of our performers. We are not cheesy, interactive DJs. We do not use props or teach people line dances. All of our performers are very skilled, articulate, professional emcees and only make announcements when necessary.
What is your usual attire?
Unless something else is more appropriate, a conservative black tuxedo. We do not wear shiny vests or corny "musical notes" bowties, or anything else that would make us stand out from your guests.
If you do not have one of the songs pre-requested by the client, do you require that they provide it?
We purchase any music required for every wedding we do. Unless a couple asks for independent or local-label artists that we literally can't purchase anywhere, we would never ask them to provide music for us.
How many other DJs do you work with?
We currently have 6 DJs on staff.
What is the minimum amount of time you will DJ for?
Four hours. Any time beyond four hours is available at a discounted hourly rate.
Is the client able to meet the DJ before booking?
Absolutely! Meeting the DJ before signing a contract is crucial - couples should insist on it. The entertainment at a wedding has the biggest impact on the success (or failure) of the entire wedding. We actually travel to meet our prospective clients wherever it's convenient for them.
Do you specialize in any ethnic or international events?
Actually, yes. We perform for dozens of multicultural weddings every year, which is a testament to our versatility. Specifically, we have a thorough understanding of Latin American, Indian, Persian, and most Asian wedding customs and ethnic music.
Do you bring your own equipment?
Yes, our performers use the finest equipment available to mankind. We get a lot of compliments on the clarity of our sound systems, and each of our DJs has been trained in proper sound reinforcement. Even if a reception site has tricky acoustics, our DJs can "tune" the room so that to minimize echoes and provide a clear, comfortable level of volume.
What (if any) special equipment, such as disco balls or lighting, is offered with your service?
We do not get asked to provide lighting very often since we perform primarily for weddings, but we will rent it if a client asks. Our standard package includes two separate sound systems (great for cocktail hour in another room or an outdoor ceremony) and a subwoofer for the dance floor area.
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?
We always arrive at least 1 1/2 hours before our contracted start time to set up. We do require that a 6' banquet table with linens be provided for our equipment.
Do you have any extra space requirements?
No.
Do you usually emcee the event or talk between songs?
Yes, and no. We are comfortable handling any announcements that need to be made in a tasteful manner. We do not, however, introduce each song that we play. This is not the radio, and we are not interested in listening to ourselves talk the whole night - and neither are your guests.
What is your policy on taking breaks? If you require a meal break, do you require that the client provide your meal?
We don't require a meal, but one is requested. If one won't be provided, we simply ask to be notified before the wedding so we can eat beforehand.
Will you arrange for recorded music to play during your breaks?
Of course.
What is your backup plan in case you become unavailable on the day of the event?
Our backup plan is second-to-none in the entire DJ industry, we're very proud of it. Not only do we reserve one of our staff DJs as an "emergency DJ" every weekend, we take the extra step of preparing that DJ with all of the music selections and paperwork for every single wedding on our schedule. As far as we know, no other DJ company in the area does as much as we do to ensure that our clients will have a high-quality, prepared DJ on the day of their wedding - even in the case of a true emergency.
What is your overtime rate?
It depends on the date of the event. Our objective pricing system is determined by the day and month of each wedding. Overtime is available at a lower hourly rate than our 4-hour base package.
Do you charge for travel expenses? If yes, how much do you charge?
Yes, we charge a travel fee for any wedding more than 90 miles one way from Columbia, MD. Travel fees start at $200.
