is a special song for your event that is not in our library, we will make sure we have it. You just have to give us advance notice.
Q: How current is your new music and where do you get your music?

Q: How fast do you book up and how far in advance should I
book?
A: Book as soon as possible. Our available dates fill up fast and we have clients who book over a year in advance. The last thing you want is
to find out that your date is already booked. Then, you have to find another disc jockey or move the date. We handle over 125 events each year, so our
dates fill up fast.
Q: Do you take breaks during the event and are we required to feed the
DJ?
A: No, we do not take any breaks. The number of hours you book is the number of
hours of music you receive. No, you are not required to feed the DJ, but most people do. It is entirely up to you.
Q: Do you play games with the kids and do you bring props or handouts?
A: Yes. Depending on the event, we will do many fun games with the kids. If the event is a Bar/Bat Mitzvah or
Communion party, we will bring games. We know there will be kids who you want to keep entertained.
As an example, we have one client, a school, where we play music and promote our fun and crazy games for over 2
hours instead of dancing. Check out our "Games Page" for more information on our unique games. If you would like props or handouts, there is
an additional charge, but we can provide you with anything you are looking for.
Q: Do you have any type of planning forms?
A: Yes, we have many types of forms on the client access section
of our website. They include a planning form, an event timeline and an music
request form with access to a default database of over 50,000 songs. When you
book an event, we will give you access to all of these services.
Q: Can my guests request songs before the event?
A: Yes, we have a section on our website called "guest
requests". You can give each of your guests a user name and password. They
log into a special page for your event and can choose a selected number of
songs in our default database of over 50,000 songs. It will also show them
what other songs have been requested by other guests and what are the most
requested songs. This system works great for school dances and corporate
holiday parties where there is a large mix of people with different music
tastes. If you would like this option, let us know.
Q: Do you do any networking or go to any DJ training events or tradeshows to find
the hottest and latest trends?
Q: Do you sell any old equipment or make mixed cd's?
A: No. Currently, we do not sell any old equipment, but if you
are looking for equipment or advice, contact us. We will try to assist you.
We have a close relationship with many vendors and manufacturers in the
industry.
We are not able to make any type of mixed cd's since that would
be a violation of music piracy laws.
