"What is the deposit to hold the date? When is the balance due?"
Generally, a 50% non-refundable deposit is required upon signing a contract. If the total of services exceeds $1000, there would be no larger deposit than $500.

We accept personal checks up to two weeks prior to the event date, but if you care to square things up on the date of your reception, we accept certified checks, cash, and money orders upon arrival at the location. Overtime may be paid upon completion of your event in cash or personal check.

"Can we reserve a specific MC for our party?"
You can leave the decision up to us or choose one person that you like from a list of experienced emcees assuming they are available at the time of your booking.
Top

"Can we give you songs to play at our party?"
Absolutely. We recommend a list of songs you want and those that you DON'T want as well. Keep in mind that the list should be no more than twenty individual songs that you want, and highlight the top five that you can't live without hearing.

"Are there any additional charges that will be sprung on us at the last minute?"
No way!! We disclose all fees at the time of the initial phone call.
Top

"What is a 'Crossover' function?"
A crossover function is when an event overlaps two "timeslots". On any given Saturday, a disc jockey can perform an event from 12p.m. to 5p.m. and then get to another location to perform from 7p.m. to 12a.m. Thus, an example of a crossover party would run from 3p.m. to 8p.m.
Top

"Is there ever a fee for a 'crossover' event?"
It depends on the season and availability. Generally speaking, Saturdays during May, June, September, October, and December are considered to be peak times, and a crossover fee may apply if a function covers two time slots. This fee is usually $200 when applicable.
Top

"Can we meet with you or see you live?"
We meet with clients now on an appointment basis: Days on Monday through Friday and Evenings Monday through Thursday. If you want to see us live after that, we will give you a few dates on where we will be playing. We do not invite clients to see us live at wedding receptions, as we would not allow anyone to come to your wedding.
Top

"What kind of music do you play?"
Whatever is appropriate for your event. All of our technologically advanced touch screen computer sound systems come equipped with over 45,000 song titles. The types range from Big Band, Bubble Gum, and Easy Listening to Present Rock, Rap, Pop, and Dance. The areas in between include Classic Rock, Disco, Jazz, and Eighties lost 45's. For ceremonies we use pop titles, Instrumentals, and classical music. Because we generally don't send out song lists to bound you, we use our extensive 60,000-song title master library and various DJ contacts to find the songs that you want for your celebration.
