FAQ: DJ Services

---

We rarely have to do this, but yes, we certainly can. We do numerous weddings and events all year, so we know what people like and want to dance to. We play great music, and people will dance!

 We DJ for weddings, corporate events, special occasions, private parties, graduation parties, baby showers, holiday parties, sporting events, and more.

Our pricing varies depending on the type of event, duration, location, and other factors. Please contact us today for a

customized quote.

If there is a particular light that you request that we do not have, then we can obtain the light(s), if needed, for an additional charge.

We specialize in a variety of genres, including Top 40, country, hip-hop, electronic dance music, Latin, and more. We always customize the music selection based on the event and client preferences.

Yes, we require a two-hour minimum for DJ services. For weddings, we require a three-hour minimum. The minimum hours depend on the location.

Absolutely! We encourage all of our clients to submit a playlist that will have the genres of music you prefer, as well as a list of favorite artists and any must-play or do-not-play songs! We do not charge extra to create your playlist. We have a huge online music library that has all genres of music.

This is your wedding or event and you should be able to decide what we play!

Yes, we can certainly take requests. We will do our best to play all requests, given that we have the song and there is enough time to get through the written playlist and must-play songs. We ask all our clients to let us know if requests are okay and ask for any restrictions on requests, such as: 

“Yes, play requests, but no rap, metal, etc.”

 Yes, we’ll be glad to assist you in planning your ceremony and reception music.

We arrive approximately 2 hours before the start time of any event to set up our equipment.

If you book several options from us, such as a DJ, 360 photo booth rental, and photography, we will usually arrive 2.5–3hours before the start time of the event. If we need to arrive earlier than 2 hours and it is not a multiple-services booking, there may be an additional charge.

It depends on the needs of your event. We typically have two people at every wedding/event that we do, but sometimes, just one person is available. We may have additional people come early to help us set up, but by the start time, only one

or two people will be at the entire event.

Depending on the needs of your event, the setup can take anywhere from 60 minutes up to 2-3 hours or more. Most weddings and events that we’ve done in venues take about 60–90 minutes to set up. Breakdown takes about one hour

(or more if using multiple systems).

We do not charge extra for setup; your time starts and stops during the hours requested, not when we arrive to set up. You are also not charged for breakdown time, either.

Exceptions: If you need us to set up earlier than 2 hours or break down later than one hour after the event ends, there is an additional charge. Example: The wedding ceremony starts at 5 pm, and we’d normally arrive at 3 pm to set up, but you need the DJ or photo booth to set up at 12 pm. Many companies do not include setup/breakdown time and charge additional fees for this time. Again, we do not do this, unless it is the above exception.

We always dress appropriately for the occasion. Typically, our staff will wear black pants or jeans and a black polo (or black t-shirt for casual events) with black shoes. For outdoor summer events, we have company white polos with black pants or jeans (or black and white t-shirts for casual events). If we need to dress more formally, please let us know, and we will make sure we "dapper up" for your event.

Please Note: When our team is setting up before the wedding or event, our staff will wear black or white MSE t-shirts only and then change into the appropriate uniform before the event begins.

We bring all the equipment we need for every event we provide services for. For the DJ, we simply need an 8X8 area to set up, near a standard power outlet. The photo booth also has the same requirements. We do require a 6-foot table to be set up in the area where you’ll want the DJ. 

We will bring our own linen, or linen can also be placed on the table. We usually provide our own photo booth table. We’ve heard of other DJs and DJ companies requiring the customer to rent the sound system, which is surprising!

Yes, we certainly do. All of our DJs are very experienced and know how to handle a situation where they may need to make adjustments if equipment isn’t working correctly. We always check in with our staff during setup and are available “on-call” if problems arise at any time during the event.

Yes, we have several DJs who work with our team, and we always check in with every DJ the week of the event. We also check in with the DJ and/or photo booth staff 24 hours before the event and then again 4 hours before the event start time to ensure they’re going to make the event.

If a DJ or photo booth attendant is sick or has an emergency, we will notify the customer immediately and provide an experienced, professional staff for the event.

Though most bands will take breaks at events, we do not take breaks. We will have a chair next to us and sit down, if needed. Being on your feet at events all day can be tough.

We do request a vendor meal for any wedding or event that is 4 hours or longer. We ask this because our staff will arrive 2 hours before the start time of any event and break down for about 1 hour after an event, which is a 7-hour day for us.

Our cancellation policy states that all deposits are non-refundable. We will apply your deposit towards any future event if you have a signed contract. We will, however, refund 100% of any payments made toward the balance, outside of the

deposit.

Yes, we carry a $2 million liability insurance and we can add your wedding/event venue on it.

Yes, we will gladly be the MC for your event, at no additional charge.

Yes, many of our DJs are bilingual and can do this. If there is another language in which you need announcements, we will certainly let you or one of your guests make any announcement(s) with our PA system. 

We’ve done several weddings/events where other languages were spoken/used (Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, Hindi, ASL, etc.) and clients designated a person to make announcements for guests, in addition to our announcements. We also have bilingual (English/Spanish) wedding officiants!

We rarely have to do this, but yes, we certainly can. We do numerous weddings and events all year, so we know what people like and want to dance to. We play great music, and people will dance!

Yes, we certainly do! We provide 360 photo booth services, live broadcast setups, karaoke, uplighting, sound engineering, setup for live performances, custom music mixes/mash-ups, lawn games, cold spark machines, and more!
