Q: How early do you set up, and is that
included in your playing time?
A: We usually arrive about an
hour before our playing time. This allows us to
coordinate and confirm events and times with the hall, photographer, etc. If necessary we will make
arrangements to set up earlier if it conflicts with the
arrival of your guests. Set up and
break down time do not infringe on your contracted play
time.
Q: What if you don't have a song that we want?
A: This is one of the main
reasons we discuss your event in advance. If we do not
have a song in our current music catalog, we have multiple resources available to us to ensure we can
acquire it. Brides and grooms sometimes wish to
bring a few CDs for us to mix into flow
of the evening, which is fine with us too. It's your
day!
Q: Can you provide
ceremony music?
A: Yes. We approach ceremony
music with the same detail and exactness we would your
first dance.
Q: Are you insured?
A: Yes.
Q: How long have you been in business?
A: We have been in business
since 1998, incorporated in 2000.
Q: What is your standard
length of contract?
A: All of our packages are
based on five hours. We do not count setup and breakdown
as part of your five hours.
Q: How loud do you play your music?
A: Background and
dinner music are played just below talking level. We
ensure this
by doing multiple sound checks throughout the night.
Event and dance music is played
just above talking level, so you can feel the beat on
the dance floor and still have
great conversation off the floor. .
Q: What kind of music do you play?
A: We go over music
extensively prior to your event to find out what types
of music you
love, as well as your "must-play" and
"do-not-play" lists. But it does not stop
there. Our
teams are trained to observe, talk with, and adapt to
you, your bridal party, and guests to
ensure a packed dance floor.
Q: What if we do not want certain songs played
at our reception?
A: In the "crew
packet" that all our brides receive, you can write
down both specific song
requests as well as songs that you do not want played.
When you speak with your lead DJ
the week prior to your wedding, he will confirm your
selections. Once that is done,
the only people that can get a song played off that list
is you or your new spouse.
Q: Can we extend the playing time?
A: Absolutely. You can
decide to do this prior to your wedding or the night of
the reception. Just let your DJs know that you want to have them stay
longer. We will stay as late as you want in ½ hour increments. Extended playing time is
$50/half hour and is paid directly to the DJs.
Q: Should we include the DJs for dinner?
A: Including the DJs for
dinner is a common courtesy, however not a necessity. We
use this time to get to know your guests and to go over the
events with the other wedding professionals
Q: Do you have backup equipment?
A: Yes. All of our systems
include back-up equipment built into the system. In the
unlikely
event that we have a problem, there is also an on-call
DJ team and system.
Q: What do you wear?
A: We dress professionally
in tuxedos provided by American Commodore. We always
keep up on the current styles, as our specific tuxedo
style changes about every 18 months. If your event calls
for dress other than tuxedos, we adapt and accommodate.
