There are only a few days in our lives that provide the opportunity to be with those who mean the most to us…friends, family and loved ones.Your wedding day is likely one of the most important. Choose an entertainer that recognizes this special day for what it is - a celebration! I sincerely believe that your wedding day will be one of the most cherished days you will ever share with those who are most important to you! I also believe that I have an enormous responsibility not only to you but your family, friends and guests. This responsibility is to ensure your every wish and desire is not only met, but exceeded. As you plan your special day, remember that the entertainment is the most important element of a successful reception. No other single aspect will have more effect, on how you and your guests remember your wedding day, than a fun and magical reception.
I offer a 100% MONEY BACK satisfaction guarantee!
Accept nothing less!
Describe your DJ style: Highly Professional, Interactive. Game Master, Entertainment Director, I make sure that the day is as smooth and perfect as possible for the Best Wedding and Reception Ever!
How many other DJs do you work with? I am a full time Solo Performer, but I am the Secretary of the East Tennessee Chapter of the American Disc Jockey Association and have other chapter members that provide additional services.
Do you have replacement DJs in case you become unavailable on the wedding day? Yes, professional backup always available. It has never happened since I began my business.
Do you specialize in any ethnic and/or international events? No, but able to accommodate almost any request. Recently did Bosnian, Greek, Egyptian, Polish and other unique performances.
Is the bride able to meet the DJ before booking? Absolutely, in fact, I normally schedule from 3 to 5 meetings prior to every event. It is imperative in order to be able to provide outstanding and memorable service! Do NOT hire a DJ that will not meet with you before booking!
If you do not have one of the songs pre-requested by the couple, do you require that they provide it? No, I will purchase ANY necessary music to accommodate my clients.
What is your usual attire? Tuxedo with complementary colors for the bridal party.
Do you bring your own equipment? All equipment is provided, with 100% backup of all critical gear. I bring at least 3 sets of speakers, backup amplifiers, microphones, backup computer and backup music library drive.
What (if any) special equipment, such as disco balls or lighting, is offered with your service? Special equipment is always available.
What is your minimum amount of time you will DJ for? My services are based on a flat rate for the day for wedding receptions. All other events are a two hour minimum. Typical wedding reception requires 20 to 30 hours of prep and performance time.
Do you usually emcee the reception and/or talk between songs? All Master of Ceremonies duties are included. Minimum talk between songs except to make announcements and comply with the couples wishes.
Do you take any breaks? Only necessary bathroom requirements, and you wont even know I am gone.
Will you arrange for recorded music to play during your breaks? Of course!
Do you require a meal break? If yes, do you require that the wedding party provide your meal? I do not eat or drink during performances, except for bottled water.
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 typically arrive 4 hours prior to performance time with a target goal of being completely set up and sound checks completed 2 hours before the arrival of the first guest. I require NOTHING from the venue, but the available space and proper power within 25 feet.
Do you have any extra space requirements? Only if special lighting or extended speaker installation required.
What is your overtime rate? My services are a flat rate until Midnight of the service day, then $175 per hour after midnight.
Do you charge for travel expenses? If yes, how much do you charge? No travel charges for 100 mile radius of 37620, however, I will travel virtually anywhere a client would like for me to perform.
Additional Questions and Answers
Martha Stewart Says:
“While you’re working out the details of your reception, you’ll need to think about the other aspects of your wedding as well. In general, you can expect to spend about 10 percent of your budget on each of the other major categories -- attire, flowers, music, photography, and miscellaneous costs, such as invitations, favors, transportation, and any unexpected expenses that might arise. Adjust these percentages as you go; when you spend more on certain items, make up the difference by spending less somewhere else.”
“Nothing stirs the heart like music. Shakespeare wrote, "If music be the food of love, play on," and nowhere is that sentiment better realized than at a wedding. From the moment the first guest takes her seat until the last person leaves the dance floor, music fills the day. When chosen thoughtfully, it can set the rhythm for the event, enhancing emotion during the ceremony and inspiring jubilant celebration at the reception.”
“Even the most versatile and talented band on earth could never provide the range of songs and performers that a disc jockey can.”
