Question 1

What makes you different from other musicians?

Accepted Answer

Planning and Customization. Weddings use to be the same old songs, and, many still are. But with the access to music, more music than ever, and algorithms to curate music preferences, weddings are so much more than what was played in the past or on the radio. With JMan Productions, you can play Anything you want, and, we plan together to make it happen =)

Question 2

What are your sales taxes?

Accepted Answer

I handle all taxes. And fees, I bake all fees into the package pricing. Unless you ask for something specific after the fact, like a Dress Rehearsal DJ after we've signed a service agreement, or during the reception you ask me to stay an extra hour, unless you're asking for an extra service after service agreement signing, then what you see is the final total!

Question 3

Are you fully insured?

Accepted Answer

You bet! Auto and Professional.

Question 4

How early do you come to set up?

Accepted Answer

3 - 4 hours early.

Question 5

What is your travel and break down fee?

Accepted Answer

Please see the travel packages as pricing varies; i.e. if you want me to drive 4 hours to Rexburg, then it's travel + two nights of room & board. You can probably get a DJ cheaper, but, I can't guarantee they won't mess it up. Travel cost varies.

Question 6

Can you provide specialty, religious, or ethnic musicians?

Accepted Answer

No. But I can provide mics & sound for officiants and musicians you provide!

Question 7

What do you wear?

Accepted Answer

Pressed collard shirt with vest. Pressed pants with belt. Parade Gloss black shined boots.

Question 8

Do you learn new songs?

Accepted Answer

I do! If you have special timing, like starting at 0:37 of a song, or skipping the intro, or want me to combine dances like a father daughter/step-father daughter dance to mix songs together in the middle, almost every wedding asks for something unique, and I'm happy to make it happen =)

Question 9

Do you provide music for wedding ceremonies or cocktail receptions?

Accepted Answer

Ceremony, Cocktail/Photo hours, Dinner, Reception, I do it all! Multiple locations? Ceremony in one, Cocktail hour in another, Reception in a third room? I got you.

Question 10

Do you take music requests?

Accepted Answer

Unless the Bride and Groom say NO, I take requests, certainly! Now, the requests are taken with discretion - if a little cousin asks for WAP, I'm going to ask them to ask the bride to approve it, but for the most part, friends, e.g. guests, often listen to similar music, so requests are usually pretty easy to navigate. If you give me a specific playlist, and need me to stick to it, I'll present the playlist to the requestor, and ask them what they'd like me, from the playlist, to play next or/and dedicate to them. It's your wedding, you're my boss, and while I try to make everyone happy, you, the Bride & Groom, are my absolute priority!

Question 11

What is your style?

Accepted Answer

I have a formula, absolutely! I start with older music because the old folks leave first, so, play what they know & like first. Work my way up through the decades; 80s; 70s; 80s; 90s; 00s; to contemporary music. The cocktail/photo hour is usually a mix of upbeat 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and then dinner is often Rat Pack, Michael Buble, Patsy Cline, a little Johnny Cash, slow Elvis, classy dinner music. The reception is where we dive into the 00s, 10s, 2020s, requests, etc. And specific dances, the Cha Cha Slide, Cupid Shuffle, Anniversary dance, Bouquet toss, etc. BUT, You're the boss! It's _Your_ wedding! I'll play what You want me to play =)

Question 12

Do you provide other services, such as lighting or photo booths?

Accepted Answer

Nah. You should hire a specific vendor for a specific service. A DJ can provide a photo booth, but, a DJ is not a photographer. Let me ask this, would you hire a photographer, who would also DJ your wedding? That said, I can recommend a photo booth, I can recommend a photographer, and many vendors =)

Question 13

Do you play anything I want?

Accepted Answer

Yes!

Question 14

How many weddings have you DJed?

Accepted Answer

Over 100. I was a wedding DJ in college during my undergrad, circa 2008 - 2012, and have been DJing as The JMan of JMAN Productions since 2024 =)

Question 15

Do you do corporate events?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Neighborhood new construction open houses/block parties, Christmas parties, Keynotes, ComicCon, Festivals, Art in the Park, Grand Openings, Re-Grand Openings, Bar, Club, you name it!
