FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Here are some of the most popular questions from the wedding and event clients we have served.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN DJING FOR? I have been a DJ for 8+ years working along side some of the coolest vendors in Socal for some of the coolest couples and clients.
HOW MANY SONGS SHOULD I REQUEST? You can select songs that you would like to hear at your event (as well as songs you don’t want to hear) through our online planning portal. You will receive login information for your event portal in an email with your contract. The number of songs you request is totally up to you! We recommend giving your DJ at least 10-15 songs of different genres and artists that you would like to hear. A few songs/artists that you don’t want to hear is always helpful. If you end up requesting a lot of songs, just keep in mind the time constraints of your event. During your initial consultation, your DJ will ask about your music preferences.
DO YOU HAVE SAMPLES OF YOUR WORK? We have some of our mixes on our welcome page and we have our mixes on our company soundcloud. We do not post any of our wedding or event mixes as each event we do is unique to that client.
CAN WE BRING OUR OWN MUSIC FOR THE DJ TO PLAY? Sure, but we would like to get the music in advance of the event. In doing so, please consider the audience attending your event.
DO YOU TAKE REQUESTS? We do take requests and may play some of them. We “filter” requests, meaning we will not play a song that you specifically asked us not to play or music from a genre you asked us not to play. We will not play songs off of Youtube when asked. If someone makes a request that fits in well with what the DJ is playing at the time and with the music the client wants, then the DJ may play the request. We have an online planning system that will allow you to make request lists before the event.
WHAT SERVICES DO YOU OFFER? We offer DJ services for wedding ceremonies and receptions, corporate events, private parties, and XV. We offer lighting options (uplighting and dance floor lighting), projections, bilingual Spanish DJ and more.
WHEN SHOULD I BOOK MY DJ? We recommend at least six months before the event. Fill out our contact form for availability.
SHOULD WE FEED THE DJ? This is not a requirement in our contract and is completely up to you. Typically, the catering director or event coordinator will set aside a meal or boxed dinner for the DJ if requested by the client.
DO WE TIP THE DJ? We do not include gratuity in the final contract price. 10-20% is generally recommended if your DJ did a great job, but it is entirely up to you.
WHAT ARE YOUR PAYMENT TERMS? A 30% retainer is required at the time of booking, and the remaining balance is due four weeks prior to the event date. Payments can be made through your event portal using a debit or credit card, PayPal account or you can use Venmo/Zelle/Apple Pay
