What kind of space do you need?

  • Normally a table is provided by the venue in an area next to the dance floor for DJ set up. 
  • Generally,no additional space is required. A video screen or Karaoke set up would require extra space.

  • No,not at all. We provide a wireless microphone for all speeches. Whomever is making the speech is free to stand wherever they are comfortable.

Will you assist with the coordination of the reception?

  • Yes, I will assist  with the flow and keeping everything on time, as it is scheduled.
  • If you are not working with a wedding planner I can provide you with a "typical" schedule that can be customised for your needs.

How long in advance should I book your services?

  • As soon as you decide on a DJ you should reserve your date.  Key West is a hot-spot for weddings and good DJ’s are in high demand. The sooner you book and reserve your date the better your chances are of getting the right DJ for your party. 

How do you decide what music to play at our event?

  • I watch everyone to see what they are enjoying at any time. I mix the music that you may have requested into what I feel will make your wedding guests happy and get them dancing.
  • Requests from guests are always welcome and will play a part in our music selection, as long as they are within the scope of music that is acceptable and the songs are not on your "do not play" list. If  at any point during the night you feel there is a song you "just have to hear" I can play it for you almost immediately. (Because it's your night !)

What if I have a request on the night, for a song that I forgot to request before?

  • I will probably have it in my Music Library already, if not, in most venues I can download any songs immediately.

Will you bring a microphone?

  • Yes, and an additional wireless mic for speeches within the venue. For Ceremonies I also provide a wireless Lapel Mic for the Officiant.

Do you have lights?

  • Yes. Specialty lighting that turns a hum-drum reception hall into the latest nightclub. 
  • Three multi beam FX effects lights are included in the price.

What about Karaoke?

  • That option is available for an additional fee. Normally, it's not brought to every event, so it needs to be asked for and reserved in advance.

What types of parties do you specialize in?

  • Thetype of parties where everyone dances all night long to their favorite music, and remembers what a great time they had forever!

How do you dress?

  • In accordance with your venue, event or theme.

Do you make announcements?

  • Yes, unless you have a special someone designated to be your MC (it happens sometimes...) I make all of the announcements and act as MC for your event.

Does the DJ take breaks?

  • We may take a walk to get a soda, but never stop the music.  

Do you provide a written contract or agreement?

  • Yes I do.  All important details are spelled out in an easy to read contract so that both partieshave full understanding of the agreement being entered into and we have all necessary information to make your event a huge success.

Why should we hire you?

Experience, passion, commitment, style and equipment.  In a world where downloaded music and cheaply produced audio gear has become common, so had the misconception that anyone with a lot of music and a sound system can provide adequate services.  Music and audio gear, though important, are merely tools, and the tools alone do not level the playing filed.  In any profession, knowledge is king and a great deal of the knowledge possessed by top-notch professionals is derived from real world experience and performances.  Knowing what to do, how to do it, and just as importantly what not to do is what truly sets one DJ apart from the next.  Style, voice, manner, those things.  My passion and commitment are part of who I am, and if I didn't have the experience to back it up, I could not fully utilize these traits.  My clients get my full attention all night, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing they are in the competent hands of an easy going but extremely professional DJ who truly loves what he does.  And as so many happy couples will tell you, “It shows”.
