We recognize that most of our clients don’t hire music entertainment very often. In fact, many people don’t even know what to ask when hiring a DJ service. We’ve assembled this list of most frequently asked questions to help you learn more about our service and to help you make a more informed decision about the music entertainment at your event.

We Are Usually Asked About?
It depends upon the date. Some clients choose to contract a year or more in advance, while some are comfortable waiting until several months prior. Waiting too long to hire a DJ (or any service) (especially for a Saturday night) might lead to disappointment.
Our rates vary depending upon the date, time needed, location, package chosen, your specific needs and other variables that can impact the final rate.
DEPENDS, travel charges are based upon the circumstances, which is part of why we customize packages for each client. We normally do not charge travel for events 30 miles from the metro Detroit area. Beyond that, $2.50 per mile outside the metro area.
ABSOLUTELY. It’s your party! While we are happy to make suggestions, you have total control over the music that is played at your event. We have clients who choose most of the songs to be played; we have clients who leave it entirely up to us, and everything in between.
YES… We update our music library every week, so we always have the most current music. Please let us know if you have specific songs or artists you want played at your event.
DEFINITELY, some of our clients ask us to play prelude music prior to the ceremony, along with a wedding processional for the bridal entrance and a wedding recessional for the exit from the ceremony. Occasionally, we are asked to play special songs for the seating of special family members or the entrance of the bridal party, bride, and everything in between. Also, music can accompany any special moments that sometimes occur during the wedding ceremony (like a candle lighting, for instance). Go to our Lighting/ FX’s/ Specialty tab for more information.
YES… But, we are very hesitant to send potential clients to another client’s event (and we will take the same approach in not sending potential clients to your event). Besides the potential inconvenience to our client and also due to the fact that most events have a guest list, there is no guarantee that event you visit will be anything like what you are looking for at your event. But if necessary we will accommodate your request to observe an event as long as its ok with the guest of honor of the event.
We recommend that you return your planner to us at least two weeks prior to your event, if not sooner. This gives us time to look for specific songs requests and to help us ensure we have all of the music you request.
BUT OF COURSE. Our DJs are prepared, equipped and happy to make announcements and to help coordinate activities at your event. We plan these activities and announcements with you ahead of time so there are no surprises or disappointments at your event.
WHATEVER WE WANT… (JUST KIDDING)
Depending on the event, our DJ’s attire will be most appropriate for the occasion. For example: for weddings and formal occasions the DJ will be in semi formal attire, for more casual events he will be in casual attire. But never will the DJ be under dressed for the occasion.
Our DJ’s uses state-of-the-art, professional-grade sound equipment. We have wireless microphones, premium sound systems, concert grade lighting, up to date digital equipment to accommodate any event.
Typically our DJs arrive 60 minutes before start time for a standard setup. Our sound systems usually take 30 to 40 minutes to set up but we like to arrive extra early just in case. However, depending on the services selected we may arrive much earlier to ensure we have enough time to be setup and prepared before your guests arrive. Please let us know if you have special needs or loading arrangements.
We would only require an electrical outlet and a 5 to 6 foot table. If you need us to bring a table please let us know in advance.
Almost never. We’ve worked in just about every possible situation over the years and can make virtually any room or area work. Again, please let us know if you have special needs.
