Frequently Asked Questions

A survey done by the St. Louis Bride and Groom magazine found these very interesting stats:

1.  72% of all brides say they would have spent more time choosing their reception entertainment.

2.  Almost 100% say they would have spent more of their budget on the entertainment.

3.  During wedding planning, brides say their highest priority is their attire, followed by the reception site. Entertainment is among the least of their priorities. Within one week after their reception, 78% of brides say they would have made the entertainment their highest priority!

4.  When asked, 81% of guests say the thing they remember most about a wedding is the entertainment.

5.  65% of couples that chose a band to entertain at their wedding said, if they had it to do over again they would have chosen a DJ.

No iPod can monitor, program and control the flow of your event the way a truly experienced DJ can.

When you shop around for your DJ, you’ll find that most companies WILL NOT post their prices on their website or flyer.  Why is that?  Because most companies base their prices on what they think the client can afford.  Meaning, if you’re having your reception at an expensive country club, they’ll assume you can afford to spend more on the entertainment as well.  It’s exactly like walking into a restaurant and the waiter won’t tell you how much your dinner is until you’ve ordered.  

By offering a fixed fair and competitive rate, we eliminate all the haggling from both parties and you as a client will never feel cheated from your DJ. 

I’ll be wearing attire fitting for the event.  Of course in most of my weddings I’ve dressed in the usual slacks/dress shirt and tie, but there has been casual weddings where the bride and groom actually preferred me in jeans and a polo shirt.  Hey, no matter how you’d like me to dress for your occasion you’ll still get the same professional service you deserve. 

The ability to match beats not only keeps up the momentum on the dance floor but it also brings energy and excitement to your guests.  I take great pride in my ability to keep people on the floor.  I’ve spent years spinning at top Bay Area clubs and on the radio perfecting this craft.  

Again, this is an area we take great pride in.  With DeeJayPros, you won’t see us ever using silver duct tape or orange extension cords at your event (that’s just tacky).  If allowed, we’ll spend more time setting up to make sure our presentation is clean and safe for you and your guests.  Using materials like black heavy gauge power cords and black stage quality gaffers tape may cost us more but we feel it’s worth the added investment to give our clients that pro look. 

Our pro quality sound and lighting system can take a beating but nothing is fail safe.  Yes, we bring extra equipment from speakers and cables to light bulbs and even laptops to ensure your event will be covered.

This is a good question because often times banquet rooms need an exact head count (including vendors).  Typically, If its just the basic sound system/wedding package, We’ll need 2 hours and I bring 1 assistant unless it’s a party of more then 250 people where extra equipment is needed, If there is lighting to set up or if there are stairs involved with no elevator.  Also, if we are given less than 2 hours to set up.  Then we would bring 2 or more assistants according to the job. 

A written detailed contract is provided to ensure both parties are protected.  DeeJayPros are also insured with a $2,000,000 dollar liability policy and a certificate can be provided if needed.  More venues are starting to require this from vendors, so make sure your DJ is properly insured.
