Question 1

Are you fully insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes! I am happy to provide this certificate to your venue.

Question 2

Do you take music requests?

Accepted Answer

I will discuss this with the couple during the planning phase. Some couples love to have their guests requests songs, whereas others want requests within the spirit of the musical taste of the couple, whereas other couples may prefer that I only take requests from them or particular guests. I will document these preferences in our planning form. When in doubt during your special day, I will double check with you if I'm not sure if you would want a particular song played.

Question 3

What are your sales taxes?

Accepted Answer

Taxes are included in quoted rates

Question 4

What do you wear?

Accepted Answer

The couple's preference determines what I will wear, but I will always appear well-groomed. Some couples prefer more formal attire, whereas others may opt for more casual attire, especially if it's an outdoor summer wedding.

Question 5

Do you provide music for wedding ceremonies or cocktail receptions?

Accepted Answer

Yes! It would be my honor to ensure your dream music gets played at the perfect time, regardless if you're walking down the aisle, whether your guests are enjoying a cocktail hour, and obviously throughout your event.

Question 6

Do you provide other services, such as lighting or photo booths?

Accepted Answer

My lighting is programmable for all moods and energy levels, and larger setups can be provided that will really wow you and your guests. I have been working professionally in the DJ & audiovisual field since 2004+, and when I launched my own company, I really wanted to take the time to have a very thoughtfully curated & programmed scalable lighting setup. There's nothing worse than allowing automated lights to go crazy during first dances, whereas a nice ambient effect enhances the special moments during these slow dances.

Question 7

Can you provide specialty, religious, or ethnic musicians?

Accepted Answer

I have been DJ'ing professionally since 2004 (and a lot longer before that for friends). I was also in band, and my background includes experience as a radio, mobile (weddings, proms/school functions, corporate events, anniversaries, birthdays, etc), bar/nightclub/lounge/restaurant, music festival, and Burning-Man event favorite DJ. During this time, I've performed countless shows emphasizing musical tastes as diverse as the guests loving the tunes and dancing at these shows. My shows often include using harmonic theory to blend songs together / curate different vibes / energy levels by moving between different musical keys.

Question 8

How early do you come to set up?

Accepted Answer

This varies depending on factors we will discuss in the planning meetings, especially depending on what kind of setup, how close to stage I can unload, etc. The gear will be functional at the time it is needed as long as I am allowed into the venue with adequate time to set up and test.

Question 9

What makes you different from other musicians?

Accepted Answer

I was classically trained in band & specialized in percussion. I employ music / harmonic theory, BPM, as well as a deep understanding of phrasing to seamlessly waltz through different musical genres & energy levels. My guests over my career professional (starting 2004) have been extremely diverse; listening to the radio, guests at proms, school functions, weddings, anniversaries, birthday parties, corporate functions, bars, nightclubs, restaurants, lounges, music festivals, and regional Burning Man events. Why is this relevant? They all have one thing in common-having the right DJ who knows how to tap into their shared love for music!

Question 10

What is your travel and break down fee?

Accepted Answer

This will be discussed during the initial meetings to develop a quote based on gear needed, time, and distance to travel
