DJ FAQ

"How is a DJ better than a band?"
Our system will sonically surpass any bands performance. We can play any song you wish to hear at a moments notice, at the appropriate volume the way you've heard it before - not the bands interpretation of the song. Our cost is only one-third of what a good band charges and we do not take breaks. Almost all bands WILL NOT make announcements, organize activities and accept requests by guest. Bands usually do not have alternative music playing when they take breaks (15-25 minutes, 2 or 3 times during your event) Ultimately a DJ will give you more music entertainment for your money.

"What is the retainer to hold the date?"
A non-refundable retainer of $100 is required at contract signing. As a result the initial retainer reduces the final balance due. (If contracting multiple services, your retainer will be calculated based on all services.)

"Will the DJ need anything from the hall?"
We only require an outlet (15amp, 110-volt outlet -3 prong grounded) within 25 feet of the setup area and a 4-8 foot banquet table (6 foot is best) with table cloth or "skirting".

Should we feed the DJ's?
One of our most popular questions! The answer is that it is completely up to you. If you choose to provide a meal for the DJ's, we greatly appreciate it and while the DJ's are dining the music will continuously play.

"Can we give you songs to play at our event?"
Absolutely. We have over 21,000 songs in our CD library to choose from. If you do not see a song on our list that you want to have played, we suggest you bring them so our DJ can play it. Keep in mind that there should be no more than 20 individual songs selected from our song list. Please highlight the top five you cannot live without.

"Are there any additional charges that will spring up on us at the last minute?"
No. We disclose all fees at the time of booking.

"Can we come out and see you live?"
We welcome this opportunity to showcase our systems and DJ's. Please call us for specific details.

"What kind of music do you play"?
It depends on the event. You are hiring a professional DJ company. We know what songs work and which ones don't. Although we do accept your specific requests as well as requests from your guests during the function.
