Are you insured?
Yes we are. Most quality reception venues require entertainment companies to be fully insured. This gives you peace of mind knowing that you and your guests are being taken care of by a professional company that cares enough to be prepared in every detail.
How much do you charge?
A professional DJ company charges a professional fee for services rendered. Our basic entertainment package pricing structure puts us in the range of $100 - $200 per hour. It varies depending on the type and date of the event. When comparing fees with other entertainment companies, keep in mind that in most cases you get what you pay for, and that a “good deal” may be lacking in experience, quality and reputation, three areas we refuse to skimp out on. "GREAT ENTERTAINMENT ISN'T EXPENSIVE... IT'S PRICELESS" Do you bring props, party favors, and lights to all of your events?
The lighting, props, and party favors such as leis, hats and sunglasses are optional and there is an extra cost involved. Although these items are not necessary to make your party, some people find them useful and fun to enhance the mood of your event.
We’re considering using your services. Can we see your DJs perform somewhere?
We highly respect the private events of our clients and want to give them all the attention they deserve. Therefore, we do not invite prospective clients to see us at someone else’s private event. We will not turn their event into a showcase. We do, however provide references upon request.
How will you dress for my event?
Dress code is something that will vary according to the event and can be discussed in advance. Normally our entertainers are in black and white suits for weddings, sweet 16’s, and corporate parties. Otherwise they wear whatever the occasion warrants, but always neat and in good taste. As the client you may have the final word on this issue.
Are you interactive?
The level of interaction is up to you. If you do not want any interactive dances, that is fine with us. However if you do want a lot of interaction, our entertainers will bring high energy to your event.
What type of equipment do you use?
We use only premium brand professional audio equipment. We use digital, high quality CD sound systems. This will guarantee the best quality sound possible. We do not cut corners buying inferior brands or using sound systems designed for home use.
Do you bring back up equipment to all events?
Yes we do. Even though we use premium brand professional audio equipment, one never knows if it will ever fail. Therefore a backup system is available on hand just in case.
What happens if you get sick the day of the event?
We belong to an emergency respond network with other quality, professional DJs in the area. You are assured to get a back up Entertainer if something were to happen. How early will you arrive at the venue?
As a general rule, the entertainers will arrive at least one hour before the start of your event. Although our systems can be set up in less than 20 minutes, we like to allow plenty of time to test all components and make adjustments for optimal sound performance at your venue.
How loud will the music be at my event?
We do pay a lot of attention to detail, and volume control is one thing we are very concerned with. Proper volume control is very important to us and your guest as well. We want to make sure that people on the dance floor are having a really good time, but we also want to make sure that people at their tables are able to have a nice conversation without having to scream at each other. We take great care in the set up of our equipment to make this happen.
What type of music do you have?
Our library of over fifty thousand titles spans the range from the 40’s up to today's hottest hits and includes: Motown, Swing, R&B, Techno, Hip Hop, Disco, Reggae, Calypso, Country, Freestyle, Jazz, Folk, Alternative, Heavy Metal, Rock, Blues, Christian, House, Trance, Funk, Salsa, Rumba, Cha-Cha , Tango, Waltz….and many more.
What music will be played at my event?
You are the boss, it is your party, and you are customizing it based on your taste and needs. You will sit down and meet your DJ two weeks prior to your affair. We will discuss your likes and dislikes. You can give us a list of songs you would like to hear the day of the party through our "Music Selection" tool. We will use this list and our professional experience and judgment to put your party into a unique class of its own.
How far in advance do we need to book?
Most of our clients book approximately 6 to 12 months in advance. However, many times we can accommodate reservations made from a few weeks to several months ahead. Since there’s no way of predicting which dates will become totally booked, the only way to know is to contact us.
In some rare occasions we may even be available with a 24 hour notice.
What type of services do you provide?
We are a full service entertainment company. That means that we can provide you with a variety of entertainment options. Our services include event consulting and planning, Disc Jockeys, Masters of Ceremony, Lighting, Fog Machines, Bubbles, and Karaoke (with over 50,000 available titles).
