When hiring a DJ, it's important to ask the right questions to ensure they are a good fit for your event. Here are some questions that you may want to ask (with answers):

• Can you provide references or testimonials from previous clients?

Answered by our Chicago DJ: "Yes! References & Testimonials are available upon request."

• What kind of music do you specialize in and what is your process for song selection?

Answered by our Atlanta DJ: "We play what you say. We use your requests to get a feel for what you like and keep the vibe consistent. We also welcome appropriate requests from your guests. We specialize in spinning an "open format" diverse mix of music."

• Do you have experience with the type of event that you're DJing for (e.g. weddings, corporate events, parties)?

​Answered by our DC DJ: "We've been helping our clients get in the groove since 1996. After thousands of events we can handle all types of hype!"

• How do you handle requests from guests during the event?

​Answered by our Miami DJ: "We like to honor them (as long as the client approves and the requests are appropriate for the event)."

• Do you have a backup plan in case of equipment failure?

​Answered by our Los Angeles DJ: "Most definitely. We bring back-up equipment to every event, just in case. We also have extra personnel that can fill in during an emergency. We have back-ups to our back-ups!

• Can you provide your own sound and lighting equipment?

​Answered by our Las Vegas DJ: "Indeed. We're so heavily invested that you could almost call us sound & lighting engineers! We literally bring it."

• How do you handle any technical difficulties that may arise during the event?

​Answered by our New Orleans DJ: "We try to prepare for every possible issue in advance so that nothing goes wrong. In the unlikely event that something happens, we don't panic, we solve the problem as quickly as possible and get the party back on track before anyone even notices!"

• Can you accommodate special requests, such as a specific playlist or MC duties?

Answered by our Boston DJ: "We encourage and highly recommend that our clients send us their playlist to ensure that their favorite songs are played, and their least favorite ones are NOT played. We are polished MCs that will keep your event flowing smoothly by making necessary announcements with professional personality."

• What is your attire for the event?

​Answered by our New York DJ: "We do our best to match the standard set by our clients. The industry standard is all black, but whatever's clever!"

• What time will you arrive to setup?

​Answered by our Dallas DJ: "We'll get there between 1-2 hours prior to your event (depending on the loading, parking and equipment requirements)."

• Will we get to meet with our DJ?

Answered by our Philadelphia DJ: Most definitely! After the initial consultation, you will meetup with your DJ about a month in advance to finalize the details / plan. Whether in person, via zoom or over the phone, this is an important step in the process!

• What is your rate and what is included in the price?​

Answered by our Detroit DJ: "Our rate depends on how much time and work is required to meet & exceed your wishes. Our basic package (up to 5 hours with a cool DJ, curated playlist & pro sound system) typically starts at $1,495+ for weddings and $795+ for other events, but we have lots of add-ons / upgrades (so it depends on what you want). It's important to keep in mind that the price you pay should reflect the quality of service you will receive, so investing in entertainment is a great way to improve your experience!"
