Question 1

Can I pick the music for my wedding/event?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can be as specific or open as you'd like about your music preferences. I'm here to make this perfect for what you and your guests like.

Question 2

How do I give you music I like and wedding details?

Accepted Answer

I have an amazing app called Vibo that lets you easily import music from your own playlists (Spotify, Apple, Amazon, Youtube), make specific song requests, view my recommended playlists to get ideas, and fill in wedding info so it's all in one place. Plus you can even invite your guests to make song requests on the app before the wedding.

Question 3

What ceremony services do you offer?

Accepted Answer

I offer DJ music or custom live music arrangements of your songs. I use wireless speakers that can be placed anywhere, and I use wireless lapel and/or handheld microphones for the officiant, couples vows, and any readings/speeches. My speakers are waterproof and I'm not afraid of a little rain! My rule is "if you can stand outside in it, so can I".

Question 4

What kind of sound & lighting do you use?

Accepted Answer

Good sound equipment makes people want to dance more and I use top-quality sound equipment from RCF that immerses you in sound at any volume; you've haven't heard music sound this good before! For lighting I use modern tube/bar lights that are wireless so they can be placed anywhere, they're bright enough to make a party vibe but unlike traditional lighting they don't blind people or ruin the photos during the event. I also offer room up-lighting to enhance the look of any venue by coloring the walls with colored light. I have examples of these in my profile "Photos & Videos" section.

Question 5

Do you provide a wireless microphone for toasts/speeches?

Accepted Answer

Yes! I always setup a wireless microphone to use for any toasts/speeches.

Question 6

What areas will you travel too?

Accepted Answer

I travel all over the country, I don't charge a travel fee for events within 150 miles of Raleigh, and I charge $100 for every extra 100 miles of travel.

Question 7

What is your DJ style?

Accepted Answer

I customize the music to match the client and the event. I'm completely comfortable with a wide variety of music; Pop, Rap/Hip-Hop, Rock, EDM, Country, Latin, R&B, Motown, Funk, modern hits, early 2000's, 90's, 80's, 70's, etc. When it's dance time I do real DJ transitions to keep the dance floor energy going and I read the crowd to match the music to the event & guests. You deserve more than a budget Spotify DJ that doesn't care if your guests leave and the dance floor is empty. I'm also well versed in non-dance music for the times when you need good music at a non-dance energy for cocktail hour, dinner, or a welcome party.

Question 8

What is the booking process like?

Accepted Answer

I'll need your date & location, then give you a pricing quote, and answer any questions you have. If you'd like to move forward with booking I'll send you a contract to look over and e-sign. Then a 50% deposit is due within 30 days, I accept most major forms of payment like credit card, Zelle, Venmo, Paypal, Cash App, ACH transfer, and a mailed check. After I receive the deposit you're all set! I'll reach out to setup a time to chat on a phone call or video call to start getting a feel on your wedding vibe.

Question 9

What is room up-lighting?

Accepted Answer

Room Up-lighting is a set of wireless lights that are placed on the floor next to the walls/beams of a venue and shoot a soft beam of colored light up the wall/beam. I control these lights with a remote control and can change them from a soft color during dinner and then changing along with the music colors during dancing. This is a great and inexpensive way to decorate a venue and really makes the room feel like a party. I have examples of these in my profile "Photos & Videos" section.
