Over the years, we've received hundreds of smart questions from couples planning their weddings. Below we've addressed some of the most popular ones. If you have a question that's not answered here, please contact us. We'll quickly send you a response.  Hablamos Español.

What sets your company apart from others?
More than two decades of experience performing at more weddings than any other company in San Diego County 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 wedding entertainment experiences. Relative to the amount of receptions at which we perform every year, our company is rather small. This is by design; having only one DJ this allows me to keep the quality of our performances very high. This also keeps our skills sharp at all times.

I'm going to need a lot of guidance as I plan my wedding. Can you help?
One of the most important services we offer, which is part of every entertainment package, is the assistance of our wedding coordination. We'll help you carefully plan every detail. And if you're looking for interesting ideas to make your reception particularly distinctive, we've got plenty to suggest.

How will the DJ handle the master of ceremonies responsibilities? How will the DJ interact with my guests?
Its Your call. Your DJ is an eloquent emcee and will host your entire reception, unless you request otherwise. We'll be as involved or uninvolved as you'd like us to be. Your DJ 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 wedding dates anywhere from eight to eighteen months in advance. Since we can only perform at a limited amount of receptions per year, we strongly recommend that you contact us as soon as possible to check on the availability status of your date. By the same token, if for some reason you find yourself in a situation where you need a DJ last-minute, please call us. We'll make every possible effort to help you.

Do you provide music for the ceremony?
We often provide the ceremony music, and that’s one of the reasons our sound systems are so compact; if you’re having the ceremony in a separate area, it takes only minutes to move them from one place to another. And processionals, recessionals and other classical pieces sound heavenly through our systems.

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 has 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?
A classic black tuxedo, unless you request otherwise.

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 wedding, 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 couples decide to hand-pick each and every song that's played at their reception, 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?
Its 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 comes in handy. In addition to being meticulous planner, Your 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.

My family is Italian and my fiancé's is Irish. Can you provide that kind of music?
We often perform at weddings where specific types of ethnic music are requested. We have music of every nation, tradition and background. If there are specific songs you'd like to hear that we don’t have, we’ll gladly get that music at no cost to you (as long as it's still in print). Or, if you have the music, we can work with your collection.

There are songs that we definitely don’t want played at our wedding. 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 reception.

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 my DJ?
Please contact us within two weeks prior to your wedding. At that point we'll make arrangements to carefully plan the entire reception with you. If you'd prefer to meet with us earlier than that, however, We'd be happy to set that up. In fact, we'll meet with you as often and as many times as you'd like before your wedding.

My sister’s got a great voice and would like to sing at the reception. Is that possible?
You bet. We’ll have a microphone available for her and she can either sing an acappella or we can play a song in the background while she sings over it.

What time will my DJ arrive at the reception site?
We will arrive forty-five minutes to an hour before your scheduled start time to prepare.

Are we required to feed the DJ?
That’s your choice. Customarily couples do provide a meal for their DJ.

We’re still deciding between a band and a DJ. Any advice?
Bands can certainly be great at weddings, 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.
