Question 1

How much experience do you have as a DJ?

Accepted Answer

I have 22+ years Wedding DJ/MC experience! In 2003, after several years performing and gaining experience, I founded Professional DJ Services to create incredible wedding day entertainment. Wedding Receptions are my area of expertise, and I have performed at spectacular wedding venues throughout the United States. I founded Professional DJ Services in Montana in 2003, moved to Colorado in 2007, moved to Texas in 2013, moved to Alabama in 2015, moved back to Colorado in 2016, and moved to Santa Barbara County California in 2018.

Question 2

Why have you moved Professional DJ Services from Montana to Colorado to Texas to Alabama to Colorado... and finally to California?

Accepted Answer

I am a 22-year retired Veteran of the United States Space Force and the United States Air Force. During my military career, I was assigned to these wonderful places. In each location, I almost feel as though I have to re-build my company from scratch. However, I always built an outstanding and dependable reputation. Professional DJ Services continues to earn incredible client reviews, and has earned 17+ annual "Best of DJs" and "Couples Choice" awards! I'm happy to be serving the California Central Coast!

Question 3

What will you wear to my event?

Accepted Answer

I always dress appropriately for your event. Since every event is unique, this is something I would discuss with you before your event. Typically, I wear a formal tuxedo (or suit vest) for most wedding receptions, a shirt-tie/dress pants combination for corporate events, a collared shirt/khakis (business casual) for school dances, or something festive for Holiday parties, etc. I coordinate my wardrobe choices with the mood you would like to set for your event.

Question 4

How do I select music for my event?

Accepted Answer

You can be as involved or non-involved as you would like in selecting the music for your event. I work closely with you to get an idea of your favorite music genres, and to get an idea of the mood you would like to set at your event. Some of my clients share Spotify or AppleMusic links with me, so I understand your favorite songs. I work with you to select some of the specific songs for your event, and use your input to help guide the musical direction of the event. I subscribe to DJ Record Pools with 15+ Millions songs, so I am always ready to play your requests from my extensive music collection.

Question 5

Do you require a contract?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I require a completed contract for all events. The contract details the date, time, location, and contact information for your event. Also, the contract makes your event legal, which extends $1 Million+ of Liability Insurance coverage.

Question 6

Do you charge a deposit for your services?

Accepted Answer

When you are ready to book my services for your event, I ask that you pay a $200 non-refundable deposit to reserve my services for your date. I do not double-book events on the same day (just in case you need me to play longer or adjust my play times altogether). Of course, this is NOT an additional payment, but rather applied to the total performance fee due for your event. For instance, if your performance fee were $1900, your booking deposit would be $200, and the balance owed by the date of your event would be $1700.

Question 7

When is the balance for my event due?

Accepted Answer

Most of my clients pay their balance 2-4 weeks before their event date. However, I do not require final payment until the date of your event, payable prior to the starting time of your event.

Question 8

I have been shopping around. Many other DJs add taxes, administrative, travel, or contracting fees. What are your additional fees?

Accepted Answer

Most Central Coast events have NO travel fees. Events outside of San Luis Obispo or Santa Barbara County may have travel fees or an overnight hotel fee (market rate for your event market), but we would discuss that before we ever sign a contract. Otherwise, I have NO additional fees and NO hidden fees. My flat-rate pricing already includes taxes, so when you book me... you will have absolutely NO surprises when it comes to the amount you pay.

Question 9

I'm on a VERY tight budget for my event. How can you help me?

Accepted Answer

Just because you are on a very tight budget does not mean you have to sacrifice high-quality professional sound! My full-service DJ/MC packages consistently earn the highest customer ratings and client reviews possible. My value rivals the top 5% of DJs nationwide... meaning you can be assured that when you hire Professional DJ Services, you are receiving the "best-of-the-best" when it comes to DJs! I also offer several low-cost, and extremely budget-friendly, full-day speaker and microphone rental options starting as low as $599! Simply plug-in your phone or tablet and you're good to go!
