Working Hard To Make Your Wedding Day An Event To Remember!

So you are looking for a DJ for your wedding reception or other special event?  Where do you start?  How can you be sure to make sure that you are getting the most for your entertainment dollar?  We have provided some links below and to the right of this page that will help you make an informed decision about the entertainment that you hire and tell you a little more about us.

Questions to Ask Your Potential DJ

These questions are recommended by the American Disc Jockey Association and the National Association of Mobile Entertainers.  Our answers are in red.

bulletAre you insured? Can you supply me with proof of liability?  Yes
bulletWill you be willing to play requests and discuss music ahead of time?  Absolutely, we like to meet with all of our clients in person to get a feel for what they want.  Requests are happily played.
bulletDo you use Professional Equipment?  Again, absolutely.  
bulletDo you provide backup equipment at my event?  We bring a back up piece of equipment for ALL of  the equipment that we use. 
bulletDoes the Disc Jockey know the proper etiquette for your type of party?  We have a wide variety of experience to draw from.  However, if we find that we are not the right DJ for your event we will help you find the right DJ.
bulletHow much time do you allow for set-up?  We allow 3 hours for setup.  This may seem like a lot of time, but in over 15 years of being a DJ I have never missed a job and never had a late start.
bulletDo you provide a written contract?  Yes, for everyone's protection.
bulletWill you be suitably dressed for our occasion?  Short of something absurd we will dress however you would like.  We do many weddings on the beach where casual dress is appropriate and high end functions where a tuxedo is needed.  You make the call and we will accommodate. 
bulletAre they available for your selected date and time?  Use our availability checker to find out.
bullet How long have they been in business and are they willing to provide you with recent references? We have been in the mobile DJ business for over 15 years and we will provide you with all the references you need. 
bullet Are they 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?   We like to meet with all of our clients and always do so if the client is available.  However, since we live in a resort area this is not always possible and when it is not we use telephone, email and our website for communication.
bulletDo they have a wide range of music to cover all your requests and those of your guests?  While I am not sure of the exact number we have somewhere around 30,000 songs for your event.  We will also be happy to try to obtain any special songs the you might need if they are not in our library.
