Frequently Asked Questions.....
Is setup time included
in your price?
Yes. We typically arrive a little more than
an hour prior to your scheduled start time and will be set up before
your first guest arrives. You never have to pay for setup or takedown
time. It's on our own time.
Top
Do you take breaks?
Our services are uninterrupted and non-stop.
From our scheduled start time to our scheduled end time we will never
pause to take a break. Much unlike bands that need to stop and rest, we
can just keep playing straight through your event.
Top
Can we choose the
music to be played at our event?
Keeping the dance floor packed is
influenced by many factors, including the order and style in which the
songs are played, the way songs are mixed together, and DJ interaction,
not just which songs are played.
We've had customers that have chosen every
song for the entire event and others that have left the music selection
completely up to us. Our recommendation is to provide us with a list of
"must play" songs and list of "play if possible" songs. This will leave
plenty of room for requests from your guests and DJ selections. You may
also stipulate that we not take requests from your guests.
Top
Are the live vocal
performances always include?
Yes. Male live vocals are included and
are not an extra charge. A female vocalist is available upon request and
would be an additional charge.
Should you choose not to have live
vocals performed at your affair, we would be happy to accommodate your
request.
Top
Can we have a "do not
play" list?
We understand that you don't want to hear
the song you and your "ex" danced to. Or maybe you've been to one too
many weddings lately and are sick of the typical wedding songs. Any
specific songs or general types of music you absolutely hate should go
on your "do not play" list. So don't feel as though we have to play the
chicken dance and hokey pokey. Rest assured that if a guest requests a
song that is on your "do not play" list, it will not be played.
Top
What if we want a
song that you don't have?
While our 6,000 song music library
encompasses the widest variety of hits from the 1940s to the current party top
40 list, it's likely you may have a few obscure requests that are not
in our repertoire. In this case, we would be more than happy to play
your CD. As you're making your request list, simply indicate which songs
you'll be providing. You can bring your CDs to us at the start of the
event and we'll promptly return them to you at the end.
Top
How loud do you play the
music?
One of the greatest complaints of bands and
DJs alike is that they play the music too loud. It doesn't have to be
that way. The speakers will be strategically positioned for even sound
coverage throughout the banquet room at a comfortable level whether
we're playing soft listening music for dinner/cocktails or dance music.
This means that on the dance floor the music will be at a comfortable,
yet powerful enough level for dancing. Throughout the rest of the room
the music will be less predominant and your guests will be able to carry
on a normal conversation without screaming.
Top
Do you hang any
banners or other advertisements?
We will not hang any banners, logos, or signs
on our equipment. Nor will we put any advertisements on the dinner
tables. The extent of our "advertising" is a stack of business cards
next to our equipment so guests can easily take a card.
Top
How interactive are
your DJs?
Most parties call for a DJ with eloquent
emcee skills. We're only as interactive as necessary for the
coordination of events and to keep your guests having a good time on the
dance floor. You'll never hear us yelling, screaming, or telling
tasteless jokes.
We've built a proud reputation for being
cooperative, polite and acting in an extreme professional manner.
Even at our most outgoing level, we still remain professional and never
try to steal the spotlight.
Top
How far will you travel?
We travel within a 75 miles radius of the
Philadelphia Pa. area.
Top
Are you insured?
We are both protected under our $2 million
dollar liability insurance policy.
Top
Is tipping/gratuity
expected from the DJ?
By no means is tipping/gratuity mandatory or
expected. We charge a professional rate for a professional service. This
means you won't see a tip jar on our table. If at the end of the night
you feel the we have surpassed your expectations and you want to tip us,
we would accept it as the utmost compliment. But you're under no
obligation to do so.
Top
Should we feed the DJ?
The answer is that it is completely up to
you. With setup and takedown time, we'll often be at your event for
nearly 8 hours. If you choose to provide meals it will be greatly
appreciated.
But don't worry if you're working on a tight
budget because there is no meal clause in our contract.
Top
What is the deposit and when is the final payment due?
We require a $100 deposit and signed contract
to reserve your date. The final payment of the remaining balance is due
at least 7 days (1 week) prior to your event date. We will gladly accept
your personal check, certified check, cashier's check, or money order.
You can also pay on the date of your event prior to the scheduled start
time. We find that settling up before the date works best since it will
give you the freedom to relax and enjoy your event.
Top
How early should we book?
Some of the most popular dates can and do
book as early as one year in advance. Our suggestion is to be prepared
to sign a contract as early as 6 to 10 months before. Some dates remain
open until the month before. So if you're planning an event for next
month, it's worth it to check our availability. If you're just starting
your planning, try to make your final decision as soon as possible to
ensure our availability.
