Question 1

What do you wear?

Accepted Answer

I will arrive in comfortable clothes to setup in, but I will change into a suit and a tie for the ceremony and reception.

Question 2

Do you take music requests?

Accepted Answer

If you are okay with me taking requests, yes. I do use my best judgement and will not play anything that I deem to be inappropriate or tacky. An online guest request link may be provided ahead of time if you would like to pre-approve guest requests.

Question 3

Are you fully insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I carry a general liability insurance policy, and I can add your venue to my policy as an "additionally insured" entity if they require it. Any fees or costs for additional insurance required by a venue are the client's sole responsibility.

Question 4

Will you be the DJ at our wedding, or do you send someone else?

Accepted Answer

I will be the DJ/MC at your event unless I am deceased, in the hospital, or another act of God has kept me from your wedding. In the case that I am unable to make it to your wedding, I work with a number of talented DJ's in the Dallas/Fort Worth area that are on standby to find a suitable replacement.

Question 5

May we meet with our DJ in person before we sign a contract?

Accepted Answer

I prefer to meet with all of my potential clients first to determine whether I would be a good fit for the event.

Question 6

How many events do you perform in a day?

Accepted Answer

I only accept one event per day, ensuring that you are the one and only priority.

Question 7

Have you performed at my venue before?

Accepted Answer

Since there are hundreds of venues in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, I have not played at them all; however, I do schedule a site visit before the wedding to determine the conditions, area, and equipment that will be needed to adequately cover the venue with sound.

Question 8

Will you make all of the announcements at the reception?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I will act as the DJ and Master of Ceremonies at the wedding making all announcements needed or requested.

Question 9

How would you define your "style" when making announcements?

Accepted Answer

I make only the necessary announcements, and I let the music control the day/night. Most events of the day/night will be announced ahead of time to make sure that your family and friends are fully aware of the upcoming festivities or next event.

Question 10

How involved can we be in selecting music for our event?

Accepted Answer

You may pick as much or as little music as you would like. I typically like to know what you really like, and what you really don't like as far as music. I can "read" the crowd based on their participation and fill in the gaps with great selections.

Question 11

Can we submit a "Do Not Play" list?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Music on your "Do Not Play" list will not be played at your wedding unless you (the client) "OK" the song with me personally. Guests are not allowed to override your decisions. Only you (the client) can reverse the decision of "Do Not Play" songs.

Question 12

When do you arrive to set up for our wedding?

Accepted Answer

Depending on how much equipment is needed. I prefer to arrive 3 hours before the first guest arrives at the venue. More time might be needed for lighting, monograms, ceremony sound, etc.

Question 13

Do you require a meal?

Accepted Answer

No. I very rarely eat at an event. I have found that food makes me lethargic and tired, and I prefer to stay energized and alert for the event. Thank you for the offer!

Question 14

Do you have wireless microphones?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I have one wireless microphone for announcements and toasts, and a wired microphone as an emergency backup.

Question 15

Do you set up a promotional sign or banner with your equipment?

Accepted Answer

No signage is set up at events, and no business cards will be set out. I am happy to give someone a business card, but only if requested by a guest or staff.

Question 16

What is the deposit/retainer fee?

Accepted Answer

Once you have met with your DJ and discussed your needs and wants, the deposit is 50% of booked services due immediately to secure the wedding date, and the other 50% is due 30 days before the event date.
