Can I come to see a performance?
Can we provide some of our own music?
Can we keep specific songs from being played?
What type of sound system do you use?
Do you have a Demo CD or DVD?
In my experience, and based on the type of DJ service I provide, a demo CD
will not really serve a practical purpose. Each wedding that I assist with
is truly tailored to the needs of the individual customer. Meeting over the
telephone and in person serves a far more effective purpose for me than a
series of song samples that may or may not be what you are looking for. Also,
I have seen demo CDs and videos that were produced with less than spectacular
results. These don’t put the DJ in the best light, nor do they represent
the job he or she can provide.
Plus here’s something
that some DJs won’t reveal: some demo videos incorporate purchased “stock
footage” which are not true representations of the actual performance
by the DJ you are hiring.
Added to this is the simple fact that the costs for producing a flashy video
or CD would, by necessity, need to be passed along to the customer.
Can
I come to see a performance?
Occasionally I am hired for an event that is open to the general public. The
vast majority of my customers, however, are hosting private parties. As such,
I cannot invite you on their behalf. Imagine strangers showing up at your
wedding or party. Plus, the service that I provide is absolutely not a one-size-fits-all.
Seeing one appearance will not necessarily reflect the type of music or style
of performance that you may want for your event.
I have taken care to include real testimonials from very real customers. Also,
upon request, I can offer references. In most instances, telephone and “in
person” meetings can be arranged prior to any booking.
What areas do you serve?
Under normal circumstances, I’ll travel just about anywhere
in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, eastern Connecticut and southern New Hampshire
(I have even worked as far north as Maine.) Special arrangements can be made
for travel beyond this area. You can see a map showing some of the places I have worked by clicking here.
How much do you charge?
My rates are competitive, generally falling near the middle of the price scale.
I will provide a specific quote based on your event.
Can we provide some of our
own music?
Absolutely. My library is extensive, but no one can have everything.
I do suggest that before bringing anything, check in with me. I just may have
it.
Can we keep specific songs from being played?
It’s your event. You decide if there is something that
you don’t want to hear. The only suggestion I will make is to consider
your guests; refusing to play a guest’s request because you have included
it on the “do not play” list can make them feel left out or disappointed.
Do you offer Karaoke?
No.
What type of sound system
do you use?
Only pro audio gear is used: Mackie 450SRM Loudspeakers, Behringer Pro Mixer, Shure and Audio-Technica Wired and Wireless
Microphones.
