Here you will find the answers to those tricky questions, those most often asked, and general information that you may not have thought of. If you’re wondering something that isn’t here, ask! You’re probably not the only one with that question and the more I can add to the FAQ, the better I can serve you.
Q: Is there any chance that your CD’s will skip?
A: No. I am 100% digital. All my music is stored on an external hard drive. Gone are the days of lugging around crates full of records and CD’s.
Q: May my party request songs?
A: Yes. But please keep in mind that with certain time constraints there may be a chance that I can’t play ALL requests that are made.
Q: Is there any type of music that you won’t play?
A: Yes. I will not play anything with vulgarity under any circumstances.
Q: Is your company insured?
A: Yes. I have a policy for my business. If your reception site requests a copy of this, it can be provided.
Q: Do you perform at outdoor functions?
A: Yes. If your event is an outdoor function, the performance area must be completely dry and free of all obstacles. Also a tent or canopy covering myself and all of my equipment must be provided. As I mentioned above, my set-up is all digital so I must protect myself, my business, and the public as much as possible.
Q: When is a good time to contact you?
A: As soon as you have a planned date in mind. I don’t hold any bookings until a deposit has been paid, so it’s on a first come first serve basis. You can contact me through e-mail or by phone.
Q: Do you pick what music is played for the event?
A: No. I play what the client wants played. I help them choose a certain style of music based on their guest list. I offer suggestions but by no means do I dictate what is played.
Q: Do you serve as an MC for the affair?
A: Absolutely. I work closely with every client to make sure that their event runs as smoothly as possible. I have contact with the caterers, photographers, and anyone else involved in the event to make sure that we are all on the same page. I make the announcements that I need to make, and make the crowd feel comfortable. One thing I refuse to do is make the event about me. It’s your day – you should be in the spotlight, not your DJ.
Q: Do you provide karaoke?
A: No I do not. This is one of the things that allows me to keep my prices at a reasonable rate.
Q: Do you send another DJ to the contracted performance?
A: No. DMProductions is owned and operated by myself. The person that you meet in your initial consultation is the same guy that shows up for the event.
Q: Do you double book calendar dates?
A: No. As I mentioned above, I do not double book. Your day is YOUR day.
Q: Do you provide lights with your setup?
A: No. Once again, this is another reason I can price the way I do. I like to keep my wedding dates as classy as possible. I don’t want clients walking into a club atmosphere.
Q: Do you have a reference list?
A: Yes. If you request a list I can provide you with one.
