Q: What types of music do you have in your library?
A: You name it! There is no style of music that we don't have many, many choices. To name a few: 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, A Cappella, Accoustic, Alternative, Beach & Tropical, Big Band, Blues, Celtic, Christian, Christmas, Classics and Standards, Country, Disco, Guitar (classical), Instrumental, Italian, Jazz, Latin, Motown, Patriotic, Polka & Dutch Hop, Pop, Punk, R&B, Urban, Worship, and more! You do not have to provide any music--if we don't have every song you'd like to have played, we'll buy it!
Q: How is our music playlist created?
A: You can be as involved as you want to be or, don't don't want to be in creating your music playlist. It's not as hard as you think! We have a "Music Worksheet" and several other "tools" that will help you with that process. It's fun to think about- envisioning and planning your day! On average, about 17 songs fit per hour.
Q: How long have you worked as a DJ?
A: I did my first wedding as a DJ about ten years ago, and officially opened Too Much Fun! DJ Service five years ago. We typically serve about 35 couples each year. We previously owned "Forever Yours Videotaping" and served about 600 couples between 1985 and 2000 as professional videographers.
Q: What do you wear when you're working?
A: It's up to you! Whatever you want...within reason! Typically, for a formal event a dark suit, for something a bit more relaxed nice dress slacks and a open collar dress shirt. For those preferring the tuxedo look, I have both burgundy and black vests, with or without a tie. Always neat, clean and professional.
Q: How much time do you need to set up?
A: We arrive and start set up two hours before the first note of music is to be played. If we are providing both DJ and Photo Booth services, 2.5-3 hours in advance.
Q: Are we charged for set up time?
A: No, there are usually about 10-12 additional hours for each event that you are not charged for- music preparation, packing, transportation, set-up, tear down, return trip, etc.
Q: Do we need to provide a table and drapes for you?
A: No, we travel completely self-contained! When arriving at the venue, all we need is an electrical outlet. We bring our own tables and have classy pleated black table drapes to cover our tables.
Q: I'm having an outdoor mountain ceremony with no electricity nearby, can you still serve us?
A: You bet, we have a nice, quiet generator that will run our system. Just let us know if it is needed.
Q: Will you handle the MC (Master of Ceremonies) duties for us?
A: Absolutely. The MC "side of things" is every bit as important as the music "side of things"- it's what draws your guests in, and keeps them involved and entertained throughout your celebration. Yes, it is absolutely possible to do this in a fun and entertaining way, without being "cheesy" or annoying. We'll talk about this in detail prior to your celebration.
Q: Can you help us with some music ideas for our Grand Entrance?
A: You bet. With any of the special events that are sprinkled throughout your reception, we can suggest some fun possibilities for each of those.
Q: Can our guests request songs?
A: Yes, or no. It's up to you! And, we will handle it with courtesy and diplomacy either way.
Q: Do we need to provide a meal for you?
A: No. Sometimes couples want to, and that is graciously accepted, but we never expect that. We travel with snack bars and beverages to carry us through the duration of your celebration.
Q: Do you have a backup system, is the event you have trouble with your primary system?
A: We sure do. We've never had our primary system go down, thank goodness, but if it ever did, we'd be "up and running" on our backup system within just a couple of minutes.
Q: Do you carry liability insurance?
A: We carry a $1,000,000 liability insurance policy. This protects you, us, and even carries forward to the venue, in the event of a guest getting injured on a piece of our equipment. We are very cautious to ensure that none of our wires or cables are exposed and extension cords (in necessary) are secured to the floor with gaffers tape.
Q: Can we add an extra hour or two, on the spot, if we'd like to extend our celebration?
A: Yes, you can. We are always happy to play as long as you need us, however, this decision is generally between you and your venue. Additional hours are $100/each.
Q: How about a "Do Not Play" list--can we submit one of those?
A: Absolutely! If you don't want it played, it's not going to be played.
Q: What do you charge for mileage/travel?
A: We include 100 miles (round trip) with our events. Additional miles are billed at the rate of .50/mile.
Q: Can you provide some references for us to check?
A: Indeed- we have actual customer quotes on our website, many cards and thank you notes on hand you can read, and we also suggest you check reviews at: http://www.weddingwire.com/vendor/VendorViewStoreFront? mode=edit&tab=reviews
Q: Smoking and drinking- what is your policy on this?
A: Neither of us smoke and neither of us would ever have a drink at anyone's celebration- we need to have a perfectly clear head to put together the perfect party for you!
Q: What is required to book or reserve your service?
A: Our signed contract + a $50.00 deposit locks in your date for you. Your balance is not due until the end of your celebration.
