| Will you be the DJ at my wedding?: |
Yes, I am the only DJ at my company and do not hire anyone else to DJ/MC your wedding.
|
|
| Do you offer a written contract?: |
Yes. The contract protects your deposit.
|
|
| Can we meet before signing contract?: |
Absolutely, I meet all of my clients. This way you can get a feel for my personality and I can get a good idea from you on how to personalize your wedding reception entertainment.
|
|
| How long have you been a wedding DJ?: |
I have been a DJ/MC for weddings over 10 years.
|
|
| How many weddings do you do each year?: |
About 50 per year including other types of events.
|
|
| Do you MC and handle all anouncements?: |
Yes, I handle all announcements including introductions, getting your guests involved (dancing), introducing those doing toasts, announcing dinner, and anything else you would like me to announce.
|
|
| How do you motivate guests to dance if no one is dancing?: |
It's hardly ever that guests are not dancing during the dancing part of the night, but if this happens I recommend playing a dance floor grabber or even lowering the lighting in the room to make it darker. I notice at some weddings if the venue lighting is too bright, people will be afraid to dance even if their favorite song is playing.
|
|
| What happens if you cannot make it to the wedding?: |
If something drastic happens and I am not able to be available, then I have multiple other DJs I can call as backup. I can brief them on all details of your wedding by granting them access to my online tools that stores all my notes.
|
|
| Can we watch you perform before booking?: |
Since weddings are a private event, I cannot invite others to my events. However, I do have a video on my website that will allow you to see how I perform. Please contact me for the link to the video and password.
|
|
| Can we call your references?: |
Absolutely, just let me know how many people you feel like calling and I'll send you their names, phones numbers, and emails. In some cases I have their testimonial as well.
|
|
| How much involvement can we have in music selection?: |
As much as you want.
|
|
| Can we request music on your website?: |
I have a custom client login on my website that will allow you to choose as much music as you want. You can even personalize each song. It is an incredible tool.
|
|
| Do you take requests the night of the wedding?: |
Yes. I play songs that are requested by you and your guests. If a guest requests a song on your DO NOT PLAY list, I will not play it unless I get the okay from you.
|
|
| When do you arrive to begin setup/preparation?: |
Usually 2.5 hours prior to your wedding. Setup generally takes 1.5 hours, so this gives me a good hour to go through my notes and tend to anything that needs attention.
|
|
| What type of clothing do you typically wear to weddings?: |
All the way from formal to casual.
|
|
| What do you require to secure the date (contract/deposit)?: |
I require a deposit and a contract to hold the date.

I do not charge for over time. My rates are based on a day rate so you do not need to worry about paying for extra time if you want to extend the good times.
|
|
| Do you require a meal?: |
No, but it is always appreciated.
|
|

Yes, $1,000,000 liability policy. If the venue requires proof of insurance, I can fax it to them.

Never.
