Question 1

What do you wear?

Accepted Answer

Suit and Tie

Question 2

Do you learn new songs?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We are always thrilled to be introduced to new songs by our wedding couples. We will download these songs and have them ready to be played your wedding day when you would like them to be played!

Question 3

What makes you different from other musicians?

Accepted Answer

We pride ourselves in being wedding couple focused and "a planner-DJ company". The DJ/MCs role in the vendor team is to lead the guests through the timeline that was built to reflect the precious vision that the wedding couple created together when dreaming about their wedding day. We believe that building this entertainment timeline with the wedding couple is crucial to the success of the event.

Question 4

Do you take music requests?

Accepted Answer

As long as our wedding couple would like us to take requests, absolutely! We have found that taking requests from guests is one of the best ways to determine what music (songs and genres) will keep them on the dance floor and having fun!

Question 5

Do you provide music for wedding ceremonies or cocktail receptions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We ask our wedding couples to fill out our Wedding Information Forms at least one month in advance to their wedding day. Requests collected in these forms prepare us to play the specific songs that the couple would like to hear for moments such as their processional, unity moment, and recessional. These forms also collect "background music" requests for guests' arrival and Cocktail Hour.

Question 6

Can you provide speciality, religious, or ethnic musicians?

Accepted Answer

We partner with live musicians that we are happy to sub-contract for a couple's wedding day. We are also happy to play any song that the wedding couple would like us to play (as long as it is appropriate). This allows us to play any specialty, religious, or ethnic song that is on their list of requests!

Question 7

Are you fully insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Fireside Events has $1million liability insurance coverage. We are happy to provide a certificate of insurance (COI) whenever one is needed by a couple or their venue!

Question 8

What is your style?

Accepted Answer

The Fireside MC is informative, clear in tone, concise, and genuine; doing all that we can to make the wedding guests feel at home. Our DJs honor the wedding couple, and take pride in shining the spotlight on them. Our goal is to use our voice and music to create the ultimate connection between the wedding couple, and guests.

Question 9

How early do you come to set up?

Accepted Answer

It depends on how many different areas require us to provide sound (music/announcements) for. Three hours is our minimum time for setup. We typically add 30mins to this setup time for each additional area of sound. For instance, when providing sound for a reception ballroom and outdoor ceremony space, we will arrive 3.5hrs prior to guests' arrival.

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

Accepted Answer

We do! Here is a list of our favorite add-ons that our wedding couples can book for their celebration: • Wireless LED Uplighting • Selfie Station (digital, print-ready, virtual) • Globe Lighting • Video DJ • Day-Of Coordination • Custom GOBO • Confetti, Dancing on the Clouds, CO2 Cannon!
