Q1. How much do you charge?
A1. We have packages available for almost any budget. From our cost effective entry level D.J.s, to our most experienced interactive D.J.s. Remember, in the D.J. market, you usually get what you pay for. Be aware when making your decisions.
Q2. What type of sound equipment do you use? Is it big? Is it a million watts?
A2. Our sound systems are compact enough to fit in a house, however powerful
enough to fill a gym. Modern technology allows us the ability to not have to
bring in a massive setup to do the job. Our systems produce crystal clear sound
at all volumes, even background dinner style music. We use BOSE, FBT, and NEXO.
Feel free to research them; we only use the best of the best.
Q3. Do you require a deposit? How much?
A3. Yes, $150.00 to be received within ten days of your booking. This will lock your date, and be credited to your total cost.
Q4. Tell me about your lighting systems?
A4. We use Martin Professional lighting fixtures for our advanced lighting systems. Ask some of the other companies what they use an you will probably get a response like “American D.J., Elation, Eliminator or Chauvet” Martin is the top of the line. They specialize in lighting and make a quality product. We have used the other brands in the past and plan to keep it in the past. Martin lighting fixtures cost about three times more than the cheaper brands.
Q5. What types of music do you have?
A5. We have a music selection of over 35,000 titles all controlled via laptops. When someone makes a request, we can check on it in seconds and possibly play it the next song. We have a database of over 30,000 karaoke songs.
Tip: Remember, we can only actually play approximately 15-20 songs an hour.
Q6. Do you keep your music updated? Do you download free music?
A6. Yes we keep our music updated monthly. We use several companies that specialize in keeping radio stations up to date with the top hits and remixes. We do not download free music.
Q7. Is this web site genuine?
A7. Yes, I typed it myself. What’s funny is if you look at some of the competitors web sites, you will see that they cut and pasted information directly off of this site onto theirs.
Q8. Do you use a written contract?
A8. Yes
Q9. Do you have liability insurance?
A9. Yes
Tip: Some venues are now requiring proof of insurance before the D.J. can setup. Check on this ahead of time. It would be awful if you hire a D.J. that does not have liability insurance and the venue requires it. At your request, we will fax our proof of insurance to the venue before your event happens.
Q10. Should we hire a D.J. or a band?
Q10. A great band can cost four times what a great D.J./Emcee can charge. A band can usually only play the music that they have practiced. A D.J. can motivate the crowd and have a virtual limitless selection of music. Some events that we play at use a band and a D.J. We also have the Motown entertainment package which incorporates professional singers/entertainers with our service.
Q11. Do you have a backup plan?
A11. Yes, we have backup equipment on site for A and B level D.J. packages. We would have to deliver backup equipment for C level D.J. packages.
Q12. Are all charges included in the price you give us?
A12. The only charge that is not included would be if the venue or area where we have to park charges for parking. This happens mainly in the New Orleans area where parking is limited.
Q13. Tell us about the experience of your D.J.s?
A13. Anyone can D.J., but not everyone can Entertain/Emcee. This is what sets
us aside from our competition. We have three different levels of D.J.s.:
Our A level D.J.s have the most experience and do an excellent job.
Our B level D.J.s are in the middle and do a good-excellent job.
Our C level D.J.s are still in training, therefore they perform an average–good
job.
We Judge our D.J.s based on performance. Some D.J.s advance rather quickly, but some are stuck a C level for a long time. Our C level D.J.s perform with the higher level D.J.s until they are ready to advance.
Q14. When should I book?
A14. A.S.A.P. Our calendar fills up quickly as the date approaches. If you call a year or more in advance, you are pretty much guaranteed to book the date of your choice.
Q15. What do we need to have ready for the D.J.
A15. The only thing that we require you to have is a 6 foot or comparable sturdy table (skirted if necessary) and electricity. We do the rest.
