Describe your DJ style:
We are classy professionals who mix up great music. We are NOT frustrated entertainers, singers, comedians, etc Your wedding day is about you and your betrothed and we never forget that.
Is there a limit to the amount of music that can be requested?
Of course not, it's your day. The more we know, the better we fit!
What is your usual attire?
Usual attire is a tux but we are happy to confirm to the wishes of our clients.
If you do not have one of the songs pre-requested by the client, do you require that they provide it?
We do not require any such efforts from our clients. In this day and age, we can almost always find your song. That said, we are happy to accept any assistance our clients are willing to provide.
How many other DJs do you work with?
3 Way Street Sound is a small boutique that give its clients highly individualized attention. We have only a few DJs, eash with experience ranging from 7 to 15 years.
What is the minimum amount of time you will DJ for?
Our minimum invoice is for 4 hours, however, we will DJ for whatever time frame our client desires.
Is the client able to meet the DJ before booking?
While it's certainly not required, we prefer to meet with our clients if at all possible. This allows our clients to make a more informed decision when selecting the DJ/Emcee for the most important day of her life.
Do you specialize in any ethnic or international events?
No
Can the client submit a do-not-play list?
Absolutely! We request, but do not require a do--not play list.
Do you bring your own equipment?
In most cases, yes, however, some wonderful facilities, like the Kings Mill in Aston, provide top notch house equipment that we are required to use.
What (if any) special equipment, such as disco balls or lighting, is offered with your service?
We are happy to provide any specialized equipment requested by our clients.
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?
Although we arrive 90 to 120 minuets before the event, I generally need only 20 to 30 minuets to set up. A table is generally provided by the facility, however, we always bring a table, just in case.
Do you have any extra space requirements?
If there is no Dance Floor lighting requested, no, we do not require extra space.
Do you have a sign or banner that you use at events?
Not at this time.
Do you usually emcee the event or talk between songs?
We usually emcee the reception and other than formal announcements. All talking is kept to a minimum. That said, there are groups that love some 'call and response'. We use our judgment and work very closely with our clients (read Brides:)
How would you motivate the crowd if no one is dancing?
We find the right music, solicit requests and communicate with our clients and their guests. A wedding is a festive event, we always motivate the dancers!
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 take breaks and we don't require a meal.
Will you arrange for recorded music to play during your breaks?
There will always be music at any 3 Way Street Sound event!
What is your backup plan in case you become unavailable on the day of the event?
We always have a designated backup professional for every wedding.
The wedding documents are made available to an associate via email so everything is known. This includes Client info, date, location, song lists, do-not play list, 'wedding worksheet', ect.
Do you book yourself for more than one event in a day?
Never!
What is your overtime rate?
Most often, we don't charge overtime for up to 1 hour! We're much more interested in folks having a great time. That is worth a lot more that nickel & dime-ing our clients on this special day.
Do you charge for travel expenses? If yes, how much do you charge?
Generally speaking, no. We will travel up to 1 hour each way with no additional fee.
What is the required deposit to secure your services?
We ask for a $150.00, non-refundable deposit, except in the case of military call-up, for which we gladly refund the deposit if we are unavailable for the new wedding date.
