........................Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I use a mobile DJ instead of a band ?
Bands give a level of excitement because they are actually there performing for you.
Yet, so is a professional DJ. Even better than that, professional DJs do not take
breaks every hour, play the songs the way you have come to enjoy, and have a
much larger selection of music and songs than a band will.

I have a friend who likes music. Why can't he DJ for me?
He can! But, where will he get the necessary equipment and wedding knowledge? No home stereo system will give the sound you want. Additionally, is he going to have the know-how to run an event with all of its aspects, or is he going to bring over 10,000 songs to your event? It can be hard to count on your friend's good intentions. You want your event to be memorable, not awkward.

What time will you arrive at our event?
Typically, I arrive about an hour before my part of the event begins. If you are getting married and having the reception in the exact same location, I will arrive an hour before the wedding begins.

How will you dress at our wedding or event?
I wear whatever you think is appropriate! The most commonly requested outfit is the black tuxedo, but you make the call.

Who picks the music that you will play at our event?
You! You have the type of music in mind for your event, and I want to play that for you. Still, it is impossible to pick each song for your event, so I will use my experience and 10,000 plus song selection to make your event everything it can be.

Who will oversee the events at our event?
I will work with the rest of the professionals you have hired, such as your photographer, videographer and caterer to make sure each of your events, such as the garter and bouquet, happen in a timely manner.

Are there any hidden charges?
None! Zero! There are extra charges for extra services such as lighting, extra speakers, karaoke, etc., but these are openly discussed before your event, and only charged if you need or want them. It will all be clearly stated in the service agreement.

Do I have to tip the DJ at the end of the night, or to get requests played?
No. I never put out a tip jar unless it is a donated service for charity, and never at a wedding. Many people have tipped me over the years if they felt it was appropriate, but never was one suggested by me.

Is there a seasonal price change?
Like other services, my fees are based on supply and demand. The fee for Christmas time events are a bit higher because of the rush for company and private Christmas parties, and the “Wedding Season” from April to October 31st is a premium time of year.

How can I reach you at the last minute?
If you need to reach me just before the event you can by calling my cell phone. I give the number out to each booked client.

What makes one DJ better than others?
Plenty! Your event is important because it is your event. I will work with you to add any number of special features to your event to make it very memorable and very classy. Remember, a bad DJ will ruin your event. A great DJ will make it a great event! Ask for references.

Are you insured?
Yes! We carry 2 million dollars worth of liability insurance and have our equipment insured in case it is stolen a couple of weeks before your event!

How do you keep up your professionalism?
We are members in good standing of ADJA – American Disc Jockey Association – and we are founders of a wedding professionals group in Southern California. In the past we were members of AMMO – Association of Mobile Music Operators – and SDCWP, another wedding professional group, both of which have merged into other groups. Currently, we are founding members of the Inland Empire American Disc Jockey Association, and on the Leadership Counsel for Disc Jockey America, which is an organization dedicated to professionalism in my industry.
