A DJ just plays music. A Master of Ceremonies is trained to effectively manage, coordinate and maintain event flow. I put my Bachelor’s Degree in Entertainment and Event Management from Johnson & Wales University to good use in training all my staff this way.

Ask each DJ you contact the following questions:

• How long have you been in business? Full time or part time?
• Are you licensed and insured? CORI checked?
• Do you have a website with samples of your work?
• What type of equipment do you use & can I see it set up?
• Do you have backup equipment & can I see it?
• Do you obtain your music legally?
• If you’re sick who specifically will you send? Ask to meet them.
• Do you use a contract? Always get one signed!
• Do you have an office? (A Professional company will)
• Will you accommodate and respect my requests?

Most weddings & corporate events are 6 hours long and most private events are 4 hours. Have the host set up and be ready when the guests arrive. Plan on a minimum of 4 hours. You can always add extra hours that day.

We base our price on experience, services needed and equipment required to complete the event. Quality equipment, a great staff and operating costs all factor into the price. Our prices reflect the level of service you will receive.

A hot meal and a gratuity are always appreciated but never expected. We thank you in advance for your consideration.

We typically require room for one banquet table 4-8ft long. We prefer to be located within 25ft of a dedicated (grounded plug) power supply. For outdoor events we require a dry, secure location protected from direct sun, wind or rain. Easy access to the set up area is always appreciated.

It is our policy to arrive a minimum of one hour prior to start time to set up, sound check and go over details with the host and / or staff. Breakdowns take from 20-45 minutes depending on location and amount of equipment.

We work with each client to make the payment process as easy as possible. You can pay directly through our site via PayPal, mail a check or money order to our office or pay in person. Final payment for all weddings is due one month prior to the reception. Final payment for all other events must be received by the date of the event to receive service. Please feel free to call us with any questions.

We will work with each client on a case by case basis to accommodate any changes. Cancellations are subject to the terms of your contract. We really do understand that sometimes “life happens”.

We firmly believe in giving back to the community. We do our best to assist certified charities at a discounted price, subject to availability. Please call for details.
