These are all questions you should ask a DJ before hiring them. But don’t worry about asking us, we answer them all for you!
1. Can I speak to the DJ before booking your company?
You sure can! We want you to be comfortable and confident in your DJ and make sure you and the DJ are a good fit for your wedding.
2. Do you carry liability insurance?
We sure do, $1 million per event. This is important because many venues require this. If your DJ doesn’t have insurance they are not protecting you or themselves.
3. Does your price include any taxes? If not, are there any taxes?
Their answer should be NO and NO. The State of New Jersey does not tax DJ services.
4. Does your start time include setup and breakdown time?
The time we quote you is for non-stop music from start to end. We will arrive early to setup and not stop the music until the end time.
5. If we want you to stay past the end time, can you?
We would love to stay longer and frequently do. Of course there is an additional overtime charge which varies depending on the package chosen.
6. Do you wear a suit and tie or a tux?
We wear all black, or a suit and tie, and will wear a tux when requested. Don’t worry we don’t want to stand out in a good or bad way, and will dress as requested (sorry no shinny jackets!)
7. Do you have a wireless microphone for toasts and speeches?
We do and this is included in all our packages.
8. Do you DJ and MC?
With our basic package you get a DJ who also provides light MCing. A separate MC can be added as an option.
9. Will you be willing to play requests?
We love taking requests. We also give you access to search through our database of music to select the songs you want to hear.
10. How long before the party will you arrive?
Depending on the package we arrive anywhere from 1 to 2 hours early. Be careful if a DJ says they’ll be there 20 minutes early, that is not enough time to setup and sound check the equipment.
