The Most Frequently Asked Questions

Below you will find questions that people have asked me more often as they searched for a DJ.  All over this Web site, I have tried to give you as much detail as possible and answer every conceivable inquiry, but perhaps the following are still uppermost in your mind.  Should you have any other questions, never hesitate to email me.  I will try to answer them all to the best of my ability:

Are you the DJ who will do our party?
Yes, I am!  When I decided to start my own business (having worked for a company that employed many DJs), I elected to have only one Disc Jockey, and that's ME!  I never, ever, subcontract my work.  I'm the same person who is showing up at your event.  No surprises!

Besides DJ'ing our party, what else will you do?
Playing music is a small part of being a professional Disc Jockey.  To take away the stresses and pressures so you can enjoy your day, I will become your Master of Ceremonies and Coordinator.  As your MC, I'll make sure that every item you have planned is accomplished in a timely manner and followed by the proper announcements letting your guests know what's happening next.  As your Coordinator, I will work with other vendors to keep everyone on the same page, insuring a smooth flow to your event.

Will you play the music that we want?
Of course!  You should know the music tastes of family, friends and guests better than me and that is why you will have access to my complete music library through the New Client CD.  The only thing I ask is that you keep in mind your different age groups when selecting your favorite music so everyone has a chance to have a good time!

How do you dress?
If it is a Wedding, you will find me Tuxedo Attired just like the picture on the About Us page, unless you are having a Theme Wedding (Hawaiian, Country, etc.) and you request different attire.  For any other function, you will see me dressed in a black suit and tie.

Why are your prices so expensive?
Since starting my business, I have always done research to see where competitors' prices stand in comparison to mine and today's rates for a 4 hour event run between $750 to $1,500.  Yet, I have also kept in mind that lots of other DJ companies, even some that are priced higher than me, do not own as many CDs (2400) as I do, let alone bring them ALL to your event.  My 4 hour rate of $995 is still within average.

Why are your prices so cheap?
Don't laugh, there are many times when I'm asked this question and the above question on the same day!  I am sure that when you are quoted a $1200 to $1600 rate for four hours, my price of $995 for 4 hours might seem miniscule by comparison.

I will attempt to answer the reasoning behind our rates a bit further.  Most people invite around 150 guests to a party.  Today, going out to a good nightclub costs you a minimum $10 cover charge, many times a lot more.  Divide our $995 rate by 150 guests and that's about $6.63 per person, a whole lot cheaper than each person going out to a nightclub yet I am traveling to you.  Reasonable?  You bet!

How many years of DJ experience do you have?
I have been DJ'ing for over 15 years now.  Since 1992, the year I started my own company, I have concentrated mainly on Weddings which are about 80% of my business.  The other 20% typically are: Corporate parties, Anniversaries, Birthdays, Reunions, etc.

Can we meet with you?
Absolutely!  There is no other way to know the personality of an individual unless you meet them face to face.  Remember, you are trusting your special moment to that person.  I would like to meet you at the site of your party because it allows me to answer any questions that you might have concerning that facility's setup and the flow of your event.

Do you have a Demo tape of your services?
No, but I have something better, my Evaluation Reports!  They reveal a deeper insight about the work that I have done for my customers than showing you a bunch of people dancing.  When we meet, you will have the chance to review evaluations from the last 3 years!  You can also click on the Testimonials button to view evaluations from the past 11 years.

Can we see you perform at an upcoming event?
Most of the parties that I do are private affairs.  I don't allow strangers to suddenly appear at these events.  That's not the moment to conduct business, in my opinion.  I need all the time I have to bring in & position my equipment, do sound checks, go over your schedule with all the vendors and get dressed, ready for your guests' arrival.  You don't want strangers coming in and ruining your day!  Believe me, I have seen enough of that!

When I first started DJ'ing, working for a company in Orange County that used to do that sort of thing, I had so many bad experiences with that concept (people hanging around; not dressed properly; with babies in tow; drinking from the bar; eating hors d'oeuvres, etc.) that I promised myself I would never do that to any of my clients, if and when I started my business.  Besides, you can't stay there just a few minutes and get a good sense of what I can for 4 to 6 hours!  I would love to meet with you anywhere else.

How do you see your role as a DJ?
This question must be part of a handout given to brides and grooms because I'm asked this all the time.  Suffice it to say that my role is to make your party dreams and wishes come true.  People always have many ideas on how something should be but they often lack the expertise to pull it off.  That's where I come in.  As a DJ, I do different styles of parties every weekend.  The reason you are hiring me is because I can offer you the knowledge necessary for your event to be a success!  If you are like most people, you could be planning a party for the first time.
