Describe your DJ style:
I maintain the traditional definition of "Disc Jockey," by focussing on spinning discs and keeping people entertained by playing the music that they enjoy.
What is your usual attire?
"Business Casual" -- this is my typical attire, as I am constantly moving/dancing while I am spinning vinyl. Other arrangements concerning attire may be made.
If you do not have one of the songs pre-requested by the client, do you require that they provide it?
Unless I cannot find it, I will provide every important song that is pre-requested.
How many other DJs do you work with?
I am a sole proprietor/disc jockey, but I also work with a designated light technician and a hostess (when applicable).
What is the minimum amount of time you will DJ for?
I charge a flat rate, so this is up to you.
Is the client able to meet the DJ before booking?
Yes. Not only will the bride meet the DJ, but she will also get a NO-OBLIGATION preview of my services.
Do you specialize in any ethnic or international events?
I am Greek (so, although I have never worked at a Greek event, I have access to appropriate music and resources) and I used to host Caribbean/Reggae Nights at a local cafeteria.
Do you bring your own equipment?
Yes.
What (if any) special equipment, such as disco balls or lighting, is offered with your service?
I offer lighting. This includes a disco ball which, whenever possible, WILL be hung from the ceiling above the dancefloor.
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 can set up quickly; however, I show up at least three hours prior to the time that I must be fully set up. I require that a table be provided for me.
Do you have any extra space requirements?
Noting that a DJ with two turntables and real vinyl records takes up more space than one that shows up with a laptop, I require more space than at least most other DJs.
Do you usually emcee the event or talk between songs?
I usually do not emcee, and I usually do not talk between songs unless there is a special request; however, I am articulate and I can do either when necessary.
What is your policy on taking breaks? If you require a meal break, do you require that the client provide your meal?
No.
Will you arrange for recorded music to play during your breaks?
While I do not take breaks, I still have recorded music (legally licensed by the Audio Visual Licensing Agency of Canada), which I have as back-up.
What is your backup plan in case you become unavailable on the day of the event?
This has never been an issue since I began doing this professionally in 1998; however, I offer a FULL COMPENSATION GUARANTEE in the event that I become unavailable and cannot find a suitable replacement.
What is your overtime rate?
I charge a flat rate, so this is not necessary unless the event continues beyond 2am; even then, I would not charge overtime if everyone is having a good time.
Do you charge for travel expenses? If yes, how much do you charge?
I charge extra for events west of Langley and east of Chilliwack, accordingly.
