Price, Performance, Peace of Mind

As an entertainer, from DJ to Live Performance, Weddings and Events, the same questions crop up time after time. They usually involve one of three things: Price, Performance, or Peace of Mind.

I’ve shared below my answers to your most common questions. I hope you find what you are looking for. If not, please contact me directly.

PRICE

A signed contract and non-refundable non date transferable deposit are required to confirm a date.
How much is the deposit?
Typically, the deposit is 30% of the total fee.

Can we meet with you in person before booking?

Wedding days are usually a 12-hour day, and a meal helps keep the energy up!

 

PERFORMANCE

How many songs do have?
Currently, we carry 28,000 LICENSED songs covering popular hits of all genres, from 1945 to today.
Do you have newer and older songs available?
We pick for your crowd, and that means having music from every genre for every generation.
Do you take requests?
Absolutely! Requests are the second best way to find what music the crowd is into. Actually watching the dancefloor is our first clue.
Is your music edited for explicit language?
Yes, we use radio edits of songs containing strong language. Bad language is edited out.
What kind of music do you play at a wedding?
Specific music is discussed during the consultation meeting. Each event is different, but recognizability and danceability are the main criteria used to get your guests dancing.
Do you have pictures of your set-up?
We typically have two types of set up. Enjoy our point of view from behind the mic, or behind the keys.
Do you have lights?
Yes. We include sound activated, responsive, multi-coloured lighting in every quote.
Do you have suggestions to make our wedding special?
I have seen hundreds of weddings. I’m happy to share the best ideas for entrances, kissing games, bouquet and garter tosses, centrepieces, even cutting cakes! Just ask.

Do you offer a wireless microphone?
A wireless mic can be provided, but must be specifically requested prior to your event.
Are you available to MC at our wedding?
Absolutely! For a small additional fee, we can MC your wedding for you, and help make the whole night flow smoothly from cocktails to finish.
(I promise no cheesy jokes!! )

Our goal is to make your day special. It’s even more special when we can help in every way. Booking us in advance will ensure our availability to be both your entertainment, and your master of ceremonies.

How much time do you need to set up?
I like to have at least 2 hours to set up prior to music start time.
What do you wear to events?
Suit and tie for all formal events, and business casual to a buck and doe.
Are we required to provide a meal for the DJ?

Have you played a wedding in our venue before?
After almost 30 years and 700+ weddings, chances are I have. At last count, I have deejayed in over 75 different venues for many happy newlyweds. Yes, I have probably deejayed your venue. If I haven’t I usually will do a site inspection prior to the event date
