How do we book
your company? Call
the office, and I will book you right over the phone. You'll be sent a
contract immediately via email. It's just that fast and easy to do.
How is payment handled ?
Upon receiving your
contract, a $300 deposit
AND a postdated balance cheque is due. The amounts, with applicable taxes,
will be listed on the contract.
How do you
accept payment?
Cheques (checks), and every major credit card via our PayPal link.
Are You Insured? Yes
for $2,000,000 liability. Some venues require a proof of insurance
certificates for us to work there. Please keep in mind that most DJ
services do NOT carry this insurance. This a major feature that separates
us from other entertainment services.
Are You Licensed For Music
Play? Yes, we are AVLA
licensed. AVLA is a professional designation through our Dj association
CPDJA.
Will the DJ's
name be on the contract?
Yes
What do we need
to provide for the DJ?
A meal(s), electricity and 6ft table with a dark colored skirt.
Out of town events will
require accommodations and a $100 fuel expense.
Niagara Region weddings do not
apply to this policy.
Can your
DJ entertain Outdoors?
Yes, but....only
if we are fully covered under an enclosed structure like a professional rental
tent. An electrical generator must be rented at $100 for any cable
runs over 50' from the main building. In addition to this, we can not share the
electricity with any other services you may have hired.
Can you provide
a sound system for our outdoor ceremony? Yes,
$250 charge will apply.
How do you
dress? All DJ's for
all formal events, wear at the least, a jacket & slacks. We prefer tuxedo shirt
and bow tie if the weather and the occasion calls for it.
Where will you
travel to? Anywhere in
Canada. Get us there and back home at no expense to us and we will go for
our regular rate. We have been to Montreal, Calgary, Grande Prairie, Thunder
Bay, Kingston, Perth, Sault Ste Marie, Ottawa, London, Washington Ont. Hamilton,
Niagara, St Catherines, Sarnia, Kincardin, Grimsby, Erin, and several more towns, all for weddings,
stag & does and corporate events.
When do you
arrive? Between 1 and 2
hours before your guest arrival depending on event size and required equipment
and the package you purchased.
What time do
you stop the music?
We gage this to the time you have your venue booked until,
usually the bride and grooms last song is played at 12:30-ish with a half
hour of music until the 1 AM the latest. After 1 AM there will be an over
time charge. Our motto is..."it's
always better to give a grand ending to a grand event than let it fade
away".
Can we set up a
meeting? This
is always a tough question to answer. The short answer is "no".
All of our work comes from reliable referrals. New clients just want to
read our website to confirm what their friends have told them. Then they
book in. I know that all the professionals tell you to "meet
your DJ", but other
than confirming my eye colour we can do everything online or fax or phone.
If you REALLY need to meet after booking, I will accommodate.
Do we get to
meet the DJ before the wedding?
Only
if you come to a show we are performing at...even then no promises are made because he will be working very
hard for that client.
Can we speak
with the DJ before the wedding?
Yes, as many times as you
need to satisfy your comfort level. Be aware that we take family holiday's
during the summer like everyone else, and your event may fall on your DJ's
week. All calls and event details will be made prior to our
departure. Any questions or concerns or changes after that can be made via
email. We always check our email world wide.
Can we FAX you any
additional documents or attachments? Yes of course, please only fax
printed or inked material as pencil does not
fax. The lead in the pencil is a metal alloy and it reflects the image
therefore the document does not go through clearly.
Can you provide
dinner music? Yes,
feed
your DJ and this service is free of charge.
Can you provide
cocktail music? Yes,
this service is free of charge.
Do you provide
a microphone for speeches?
Yes,
this service is free of charge.
Can you provide
special effects like bubbles, fog or pyrotechnics?
-
Artificial
Canned Fog
can be rented from
us....BUT...keep in
mind...you must check your venue's
contract. This effect has an adverse affect on Fire Alarm systems and
a $FINE$ from the local fire department for about $300 will be written to the
name on the venue contract for any false alarms. Not to
mention the huge embarrassment of all your guests standing in
the street waiting for the "ALL CLEAR" sign.
-
Dry-Ice
Fog
slicks the floor with water. This effect requires two men to
operate. One for controlling and another for assisting and
clean-up.
-
Bubbles
slick the floor with soap...these machines must be used under strict controlled
conditions for a one-time use only.
-
Pyrotechnics
is not run from this office due to the licensing
involved and my insurance policy will
not cover it. We can sub-contract this effect out to a
pyrotechnic
company. Most
DJ companies & banquet facilities are not qualified to handle, nor are they licensed or insured to operate these potentially dangerous
explosives. It should only be done by a licensed professional
pyrotechnical engineer with liability insurance and a dangerous explosives
certificate.
Does the DJ
take/play requests? Yes.
Can we give you
a list of songs to play?
Yes, give us your top 10 all-time favorite songs, each. (20
Songs)
Do you play
beyond the contracted time if we request it?
This is at the discretion
of the attending DJ with direct permission from the venue's manager himself /
herself and with the rate posted below.
How much is
your overtime rate?
$150 per hour or less. Must be paid to the DJ in cash before the overtime
starts, not after.
How many DJ's
come to an event? Usually
2. Occasionally 1
Can the M.C.
phone you to touch base about speeches?
Yes,
then we can define his/her duties to ensure it won't clash with our
obligations.
Can you help
out with our multimedia presentation?
Yes. We always like
to be involved with that. Depending on what is required some charges may apply.
We can handle Power Point, Video and Slide Shows.
Do you have
liability insurance? Yes,
$2,000,000 for everyone's protection. Your venue may request proof of insurance
certificate in writing only.
