1. Date Availability
are they available for your selected date and time?
2. Experience
how long has the Disc Jockey Service been in business. If you are hiring for a wedding reception, you might want to ask how much of their business is wedding related and are they knowledgeable about wedding etiquette. Are they flexible enough to accommodate your special requests?
3. Face to face meeting
Is your DJ willing to meet with you and discuss your likes and dislikes, both musically and otherwise? Can they be easily reached for last minute additions, changes and suggestions?
4. I want to see you 'in action' at another function. Where and when can I do this?
We are very hesitant to send potential clients to another client's event (and we will take the same approach in not sending potential clients to your event). Besides the potential inconvenience to our client, there is no guarantee that the event you visit will be anything like what you are looking for at your event. Please see our Testimonials page for recent and event specific references from actual clients.
5. Is there a charge for set-up.
Set-up time is included. Only under extreme cases will you ever be charged extra for set-up. Usually, additional charges will apply if the venue is extremely difficult to load into, or your event requires extra equipment. We will typically arrive at the venue approximately ninety minutes prior to the start time. Regardless, we will never load equipment into the facility while guests are present.
6. How far ahead should we book your service?
It depends upon the date. Some clients choose to contract a year or more in advance, while some are comfortable waiting until several months prior. Saturdays are the busiest nights, so waiting too long to hire a DJ (or any service) for a Saturday night might lead to disappointment.
7. Do you use a contract?
Absolutely. You should get a written contract from all of your event services. No professional service operates without written contracts, and if a potential service tells you that you don't need one, turn and run! Make sure the contract includes the date, times and location of your event. We always send a written contract, guaranteeing your event details.
8. What are your rates?
My rates vary depending upon the date, time needed, location, package chosen, your specific needs and other variables that can impact the final rate. Rather than just creating a generic menu of prices, we prefer to work with each individual client to create a package that best suits their needs.
9. How much is your deposit requirement?
Deposit can vary on the event.
10. Can we choose the music?
Absolutely. It's your party! While we are happy to make suggestions, you have total control over the music that is played at your event. We have clients who choose every single song to be played; we have clients who leave it entirely up to us, and everything in between.
11. Do you have any current music?
I update our music library every week, so we always have the most current music. Please let us know if you have specific songs or artists you want played at your event.
12. What happens if you don’t have a song we want--can we bring our own CDs?
Many of our clients bring their own CDs, often burning a CD of songs for their event. We are happy to play any music you wish to provide in addition to our normal library of choices. Should there be a special song you need that neither of us has, we will attempt to locate and purchase that song for you. We cannot guarantee that a particular song is in print or is available, but we rarely come across a client request that we cannot accommodate.
13. What are the traditional ceremony songs?
Most of our clients ask us to play prelude music prior to the ceremony, along with a wedding processional for the bridal entrance and a wedding recessional for the exit from the ceremony. Occasionally, we are asked to play special songs for the seating of special family members or the entrance of the bridal party. Also, music can accompany any special moments that sometimes occur during the wedding ceremony (like a candle lighting, for instance). We are happy to make suggestions for these selections, if needed, and can play them for you at our office. Please contact us to schedule an appointment.

17. What time will your DJ arrive?
Typically our DJs arrive 2 hours before start time. Our sound systems are
pre-wired and usually take only an hour to set up, so we've allowed plenty of cushion. Please let us know if you have special needs.
18. Is there a charge to have my DJ setup early, even if they won’t be playing music?
It depends on how early you want the DJ to set up, anything more then an hour may be charged.
19. What do you need the facility to provide for you?
A standard 6-8 foot banquet table decorated in the events theme and access to a standard electrical outlet. If lighting is involved two seperate outlets less then 12 feet away are necessary
.
20. Do you need to see the room you’ll be working in before the day of my event?
Almost never. Again, please let
us know if you have special needs.
21. Do we need to feed the DJ?
I not expect a meal at your event. At longer events, or events that run through a typical mealtime, DJs appreciate an offer of food, but it is not expected. In truth, caterers typically offer the DJ some food regardless of what our client does. In any case, if your DJ is offered a meal, it will be consumed quickly and discreetly.
22. How much should I tip the DJ?
Tipping is not expected, but our DJs do work hard to provide you with the best possible event and appreciate any show of recognition that you might deem appropriate. Tips typically range from 10% or 20%.
