Describe your DJ style:
Professional. I make all necessary announcements to keep the guests informed. But, I let the guests enjoy themselves without the DJ blabbing on the microphone all night.
What is your usual attire?
Tuxedo for formal weddings. Other attire upon request.
If you do not have one of the songs pre-requested by the client, do you require that they provide it?
I try to provide all music. But, you are welcome to provide special songs you have that are hard to find.
How many other DJs do you work with?
I give you my sole attention.
What is the minimum amount of time you will DJ for?
My rates include up to 4 hours.
Is the client able to meet the DJ before booking?
Yes. I highly recommend that we meet in person at least once if not twice. We are set up to video conference through Skype in case you can't meet in person.
Do you specialize in any ethnic or international events?
No
Do you bring your own equipment?
Yes
What (if any) special equipment, such as disco balls or lighting, is offered with your service?
Some lighting upon request.
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?
1-1/2 hours set-up. Most venues will want to provide a skirted table to match their set-up. However, I can provide my own table with black skirting. About 45 mins for tear-down.
Do you have any extra space requirements?
No
Do you usually emcee the event or talk between songs?
I emcee the formal events. Introductions, dinner, cake cutting, formal dances. I do not talk between songs.
What is your policy on taking breaks? If you require a meal break, do you require that the client provide your meal?
Many clients are kind and offer a meal out of courtesy. But by no means are you required to feed your vendors.
Will you arrange for recorded music to play during your breaks?
Music is always playing.
What is your backup plan in case you become unavailable on the day of the event?
As a member of the American Disc Jockey Association, I have a large network of DJ's to fill in for emergencies.
What is your overtime rate?
$125/hour
Do you charge for travel expenses? If yes, how much do you charge?
Only if an unusual ammount of travel is required. Then a cost to cover gas is negotiated with the client.
