Question 1

Where are you located?

Accepted Answer

Our home base is in Bergen County, NJ, but we regularly travel to Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island, Westchester, Central and South New Jersey. We've even worked events out in Los Angeles.

Question 2

Are you able to emcee our event?

Accepted Answer

Short answer, yes. For a celebration like a wedding, we always work as at least a two-person team - one DJ and one MC. This allows our staff to stay focused on their specific tasks.

Question 3

Do you take requests?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely we accept requests, but will only play them if they make sense in elevating the atmosphere. That latest Adele song? It gives us the feels too, but we don’t recommend playing heartbreak songs while celebrating love. It’s all about context.

Question 4

Well then, how involved can we be in selecting the music for our event?

Accepted Answer

The more we know about your (and your guests’) musical taste, the more we can dial into just what type of crowd and party to expect. That said, we are dance floor specialists, so we read the crowd, the atmosphere, and make judgment calls in the moment.

Question 5

What music genres do you play?

Accepted Answer

Not to be cliche, but we play it all. All of our DJ's are open-format specialists, meaning they play whatever the dance floor or situation calls for. Old-school-Hip-Hop? We got that. EDM? Untz. K-pop? As-ssa!

Question 6

Are you insured?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Once we're locked in for a job, we can send our Certificate of Insurance (COI) directly to your point of contact at the venue upon request.

Question 7

What kind of equipment do you have?

Accepted Answer

It all depends on what your event requires, but all of our equipment is manufactured for professionals, well-maintained, and carefully set up to enhance the look of your event.

Question 8

What do you wear to gigs?

Accepted Answer

We always wear occasion-specific attire.

Question 9

How far in advance does the staff of Stem Productions arrive at an affair in order to set up and prepare?

Accepted Answer

Typically we arrive at the venue 1.5-2 hours before the event to load-in, set up all the equipment, change into our evening wear, and give ourselves a few moments to center ourselves before the show begins.

Question 10

How do I book Stem Productions for an event?

Accepted Answer

Each event is unique and presents its own variables. We’re a little old school and like to get on the phone to find out as much as possible about the event and see if we’re the right fit. If we end up working together, all we would need is a signed agreement and deposit to lock the date in.

Question 11

When do I pay the balance of my bill?

Accepted Answer

We ask that the full balance be paid by the day of your event.

Question 12

May we meet with you before the event?

Accepted Answer

We actually prefer it. Planning an event requires a short-term working relationship between us and our clients. We want to get to know you better, have casual conversations, and let ideas and inspiration percolate organically. What’s the best way for this to happen? While meeting in person.
