You probably have some
questions about planning a successful event. We've
chosen to address some of the more popular ones below.
If you have a question that's not answered here, please
contact us
we'll send you a response. Pronto.
Hablamos Español.
What
sets your company apart from others?
More than two
decades of experience performing at more corporate
events than any other company in San Diego uniquely
positions us as the leader in the region.
Who is your disc
jockey?
Your DJ is a
seasoned performer who has an enormous amount of
entertainment experience in Company Parties. Relative to
the amount of receptions at which we perform every year,
our business company is rather small. This is by design;
having one DJ allows me to keep the quality of our
performances very high. And we are constantly
performing, which keeps our skills sharp at all times.
I'm going to need a
lot of guidance as I plan my celebration. Can you help?
One of the most
important services we offer, which is part of every
entertainment package, is the assistance of our event
coordination tips. we'll help you carefully plan every
detail. And if you're looking for interesting ideas to
make your reception particularly distinctive, I've got
plenty to suggest.
How will
your DJs handle the master of ceremonies
responsibilities? How will they interact with my guests?
Its your call.
Your DJ is an eloquent MCs and will host your entire
event, unless you request otherwise. we'll be as
involved or uninvolved as you'd like us to be. Your DJs
is a versatile performer who has the ability to be
outgoing and entertaining when it's requested, but can
also be reserved and low-key if that's your preferred
style. What we'll never be is overbearing or
embarrassing hams on the microphone. The focus of
attention will always remain on you and your guests, the
stars of the day.
How far in advance
should I reserve my date?
We generally
begin booking dates anywhere from one to two years in
advance. Since we can only perform at a limited amount
of receptions per weekend, we strongly recommend that
you contact us as soon as possible to check on the
availability status of your date.
Our cocktail hour
is going to be in a separate room from the reception. Is
that a problem?
That’s no problem
at all. We often play in facilities in which we have to
move the sound system to several different locations
during the course of the evening. That’s one of the
reasons that our sound systems have been designed to be
extremely light and portable. We can transport the
entire set-up in just a few minutes.
What
will the DJ wear?
Generally, our
DJs wear classic black tuxedos for formal affairs, and
jackets and ties for more casual events. If, however,
you have something else in mind for the dress code, just
let us know.
If we
book you for a certain amount of hours and then decide
that night that we’d like you to perform longer, is that
a problem?
As long as it’s
an evening event, we’ll stay for as long as you’d like
for a minimal fee.
What if
we want to hear a song that’s not on the playlist?
Beyond what you
see on the playlist, we have a master music library that
contains more than 50,000 songs. So, if you don’t see a
particular selection, there’s a good chance that it’s in
our library. Or, if you'd like us to use music from your
own collection, we can do that, as well.
How much
choice do I have in the music selection?
As much as you'd
like. Occasionally people decide to hand-pick each and
every song that's played at their event, which is
perfectly fine, but it's not necessary. we'll ask you to
highlight as many specific songs and genres that you
like to hear and ask you lots of questions about your
preferences. With this information, we'll craft a
custom-designed music menu for your reception.
Funny thing. I love music and listen to it all the time,
but I never seem to know the names of songs or artists.
How do I tell you what I like?
A very common predicament. You
might be surprised to find out how many people are in
the same musical boat. Once again, this is an area where
a wedding coordinator come in handy. In addition to
being meticulous planner, your is DJ is an accomplished
tune detective. Know a song title but not the singer?
Just know some of the lyrics? Come on in and hum a few
bars and we'll help you figure out just what it is
you're looking for, and you can sample as many
selections as you'd like on one of our sound systems.
we'll help you design a music format that perfectly
reflects your taste.
There
are songs that we definitely don’t want played at our
event. How do we make certain that we won't hear those
wretched tunes?
We'll strongly
encourage you to give us a "don't play" list of music,
and we will absolutely abide by it. You won't hear any
unwelcome surprises at your event.
Do
you play guests' requests?
That's completely up to you. If
it's okay, we'll play whatever your guests want to hear.
If, however, you'd prefer that we not take requests,
that's also fine, we'll just stick to what you've
chosen.
How many songs will be played during our wedding?
The average song is about three
to four minutes long, so you can figure that
approximately twelve to fifteen songs can be played per
hour.
I'm concerned about the volume level. How do you
effectively control it?
I'm very conscious of the fact
that no one wants to listen to music at an uncomfortably
high volume, and that people have different sensitivity
levels. That's why we'll constantly monitor the sound
intensity throughout the course of your reception. Our
dynamic sound systems allow us to create an environment
that's conducive to both dancing and socializing.
Do you
take breaks?
Nope. You'll hear
continuous music from beginning to end - an
uninterrupted flow of seamlessly mixed music.
When
should I speak with you?
Please contact us
a week prior to your event. At that point we'll make
arrangements to carefully plan the entire party with
you. If you'd prefer to speak with us earlier than that,
however, that's fine.
What
time will my DJ arrive at the facility?
Your DJ will
arrive forty-five minutes to an hour before your
scheduled start time to prepare.
How much
gratuity is appropriate?
Please note that
a gratuity is not included in your balance due. People
generally tip their disc jockey 10% to 15% of the total
payment.
We’re
still deciding between a band or a DJ. Any advice?
Bands can
certainly be great at parties, but they do have a lot of
limitations. Regardless of how talented a band is, it's
impossible for them to sound just like the original
artists. Also, no matter how large their repertoire is,
it’s still quite limited when you compare it to what we
offer; we can play literally any song that you'd like to
hear. Another important difference between a band and us
is that we don’t take breaks; the music will be
continuous from beginning to end. One more thing: We can
easily control the volume from a single switch and keep
it at an appropriate level at all times. It's very
difficult, however, for a live singer not to powerfully
belt out a tune or a percussionist not to whack the
drums so hard.
