Over the years we've received hundreds of smart questions from
couples planning their weddings. Below, you'll find the most
popular ones. If you have a question that's not answered here,
please email it to us and we'll quickly send you a response.
What sets your company apart from
others?
Twenty four years of experience at more weddings than any other
company in The Bay Area uniquely positions us as the leader in the region.
Who are your Disc Jockeys?
Our
company is comprised of seasoned personalities who have an enormous amount of
wedding entertainment experience. They are customer service oriented and charismatic and without any of the "cheezy factor". Their skills are kept sharp by busy wedding
schedules and our ongoing training seminars. Go to our
Meet The Staff page for a closer look.
How do we see you perform?
Each
month at our complimentary Wedding Showcases, dozens of couples meet the DJ's
and gather invaluable information to help them plan their Wedding Reception.
You'll find our Wedding Showcases relaxed, fun and informative. By the way, in
case you're wondering, we would never send potential clients to view
the DJ at someone's Wedding!
What will the DJ wear?
A classic
black tuxedo, unless you request otherwise.
I'm going to need a lot of guidance as I plan
my wedding. Can you help?
One of the most important services we
offer, which is part of hiring our DJ's, is the assistance of our office staff.
We'll help you carefully plan every detail.
Will the DJ play my requests?
Absolutely. Contrary to the beliefs of some people, WE KNOW it's your day. Your
DJ will play the songs on the music list that you've highlighted and steer
clear of those that you've crossed out. With your permission, they will take
your guests requests as well, provided they fit within the music program you've
designed.
What if we want to hear a song that's not on
the playlist?
Beyond what you see on our music list, we have a
master music library that contains more than 2 million songs, virtually
everything popular from the Big Band Era to today's Top 40. So, if you don't
see a particular selection, call us, there's a good chance that it's in our
library.
Do I have to pick all the music?
No.
We believe that the best events are those where you've given us guidelines and
we do what we do best.
What does the equipment look like?
You'll be happy to know that we believe in filling the room with sound NOT
equipment. Our CD sound systems are attractive, compact and deliver high
quality coverage. They include a wireless microphone for all of your
announcements and toasts. You will not need to supply cables or tables, only an
outlet. Plus, we take the time to hide all of the wires and cables out of site.
My mother is concerned about the volume level.
What do I tell her?
There's nothing worse than having to yell over
loud music. We are very conscious of people's sensitivity
to noise. The speakers are placed above the ear-level of
the guests and your DJ will continuously monitor the sound
level. We get very few complaints.
Our cocktail hour is going to be in a separate
room from the reception. Is that a problem?
No. We suggest that you
opt for us to set up a second sound system which allows for uninterrupted music
as your guests mingle and enjoy hors d'oeuvres.
Do you have back-up equipment?
Yes.
We bring plenty of extra gear... just in case.
Do you provide music for the ceremony?
We often provide the ceremony music. Let us know if the ceremony is
in the same area as the reception, or a different location. We'll handle it and
be happy to share our ideas for processionals, recessionals and classical
pieces.
Do you put up any signs or banners?
What if, due to an emergency, my DJ can't make
it to the reception?
If the DJ is admitted to the hospital with two
broken legs and pneumonia, we will send our on-call DJ to your
reception. Though rarely used, we have a DJ on-call 365 days
of the year, just in case. In our twenty five year history,
we have never missed an event.
Our Reception will be held in Santa Cruz, do
you travel?
Yes. We travel throughout Northern California and charge
a reasonable travel fee to locations outside of The Bay Area. There is no
travel fee for receptions held in The Bay Area.
Does the DJ require a meal?
Please do not feel compelled to include the DJ
in the meal count if it adds a big cost to you. Many times the DJ's can "fend for themselves". As Djs we do not have a lot of time to dine. You may wish
to ask your caterer if "vendor meals" are provided.
Is it appropriate to tip the DJ?
The DJ's don't expect a tip. If you feel your disc jockey has delivered
exceptional service, a tip will be a pleasant surprise.
What if, at the reception, we want the DJ to
play beyond the contracted time?
If it's an evening event, no
problem. The DJ would rather stay and party than go home. Simply authorize the
DJ to stay as long as you want.
