Describe your DJ style:
Moderate, with a dynamic that picks up through the evening.
What is your usual attire?
A semi-formal tux and colors matching your theme where possible. It's always possible to dress up or down as needed.
If you do not have one of the songs pre-requested by the client, do you require that they provide it?
Not if it's commercially available (unless it's very obscure...)
How many other DJs do you work with?
None, it's just me.
What is the minimum amount of time you will DJ for?
I commit to a particular day, so I book DJ service as UP TO 5 hours, anything less is all the same to me.
Is the client able to meet the DJ before booking?
Of course! I think it's the only way to hire a DJ.
Do you specialize in any ethnic or international events?
Not necessarily, however I'm very open minded and sensitive to the needs of other cultures.
Do you bring your own equipment?
Absolutely, with full back up.
What (if any) special equipment, such as disco balls or lighting, is offered with your service?
Multiple wireless microphones and dance lighting are included, as well as ceremony/cocktail music equipment.
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?
An hour and a half, although I usually arrive earlier. I bring my own table if needed and use the site's if available.
Do you have any extra space requirements?
No, actually I have a very small footprint. (I sure do love electronic equipment in the 21st century!)
Do you usually emcee the event or talk between songs?
As needed. Yes I emcee the reception, however I try very hard not to overdo it.

n/a
