Frequently Asked Questions

How do you dress at weddings?

I normally wear a nice suit and tie with a vest underneath. I wear my top coat during dinner music, but once we open the dance floor, the top coat usually comes off and the party begins.

Do you always use disco type lights at all your events?

Nope. If you don't want any type of disco dance lights, I won't use them, but I can tell you from experience that flashing party lights are a great mood effect when the dance floor opens. I also use Par 64 LEDs for nice mood lighting.

Do you charge extra to attend ceremony rehearsals?

Nope. If you're hiring me to provide the ceremony music and dj the reception too, I will attend one ceremony rehearsal at no extra charge provided the ceremony is within 30 minutes travel time from me.

Will you be the MC and keep the party on track?

Absolutely! When you hire me for your wedding, I will follow a wedding plan to make sure we cover everything at the appropriate times. I will announce everything on the mic and get the guests excited for each part of your reception.

How long does it take you to set up your stuff?

That depends on how much stuff is required for your event. To bring my full setup with all my lights takes about 2 hours to set it all up. That includes me changing into the appropriate attire. I normally like to arrive at least 2 hours in advance to make sure everything runs smoothly.

Do you provide a contract?

Yes. When you decide to hire me as your DJ, I send you a contract to sign and return to me with a deposit. All of that is discussed with you during our event planning sessions.

Am I allowed to tell you what songs I want to be played?

Sure you can, but please keep in mind that on average only about 20 songs can be played in an hour. So if the dance portion of your reception is scheduled to be 2 hours long, only about 40 songs can be played. It’s best to tell me what “genres” of music you want played and then give me a few of your fav songs and I can mix them in during the party. Remember your guests will probably want to request songs as well.

Do you provide karaoke too?

Yes! I have an extensive library of great sounding karaoke soundtracks in multiple genres. I provide 2 wireless mics in case of duets. I don't recommend karaoke for very formal receptions, but if the bride wants it, I provide it.
