your event date and all clients will receive a

Do
you have a reception planning form and can we contact
you before our wedding to discuss it?
Our
detail wedding questionnaire / reception planner
is available to accommodate the busy schedule
of today’s brides / grooms. Upon completion,
we will contact you to finalize reception plans
and all submitted information.
You might be surprised
how little the difference in cost is between a
low budget, inexperienced DJ and a highly qualified
professional. Our rates are based on the type
and length of your event. We will be more than
happy to discuss your event with you. Feel free
to contact
us.
This sounds like a reasonable request. However,
most professional wedding DJ’s will say
no because they respect the privacy of their clients.
The last thing you want at your wedding reception
would be a group of strangers (future bride, groom,
friends, family) standing in the doorway to check
out the DJ. Also, your wedding may be very different
from the one you visit. Evaluate your DJ by visiting
his website, requesting an information package,
arranging a personal meeting, and checking references
from satisfied clients. A professional DJ will
not use your wedding to market himself for future
business.
Why
do DJ’s charge so much just to show up for
a few hours and play music?
Our professional
DJ’s will invest many hours prior to your
wedding in meeting, planning, preparing and consulting.
On the day of your wedding, your DJ, will devote
as many as 15 hours with preparation, travel,
set-up, performance and tear-down of equipment.
Our DJ’s will be using $10,000 worth of
equipment and relying on years of experience to
insure that your reception is everything you want
it to be.
Although
we have provided entertainment for all types of
parties we specialize in weddings and receptions.

satisfied brides and grooms had to say. Read

At First Class DJ Service we only use state of
the art professional DJ equipment. DJ’s
transport their equipment in professional style
cases, not cardboard boxes or milk crates, so
it always looks show room new.
First Class DJ Service
will not use your reception to market our services
with a tacky banner or create an eyesore with
dangling wires and a pile of empty equipment cases.
You’ve invested a lot of time and effort
designing your reception and our DJ’s set-up
will be tasteful and attractive to compliment
your hard work. Click

Do
you include dance floor lighting and do you charge
for it?
Tasteful and dynamic dance
floor lighting will enhance the DJ’s performance.
This creates a party atmosphere and motivates
your guests to dance. Our elegant light package
may be offered as a early booking bonus or may
be added as an upgrade to all packages.
Our DJs focus is primarily
on playing great music and interacting with the
crowd by take requests or suggestions. We
will gladly play music to accompany the activities
you have designed to motivate and encourage your
guest to participate and have fun.
Will
my DJ act as the "MC or master of ceremonies?"
In addition to playing
music, we will gladly handle any minor announcements
you would like made. We pride ourselves in our
ability to keep your event organized and running
smoothly.
First Class DJ Service
DJs will be glad to play your requests in a timely
fashion. This is your event and we promise to
play the music you what to hear. However, your
DJ’s primary job is to keep the majority
of your guests happy and keep the party going.
Our DJ’s know which requests will clear
the dance floor and deflate the energy of your
reception. You should allow your DJ to use his
judgment regarding requests.
Will
you purchase music requests that are not already
available?
We will be more than happy
to add your wedding questionnaire requests to
our music library without any additional charge.
The only thing we require is that you list any
such requests on your wedding questionnaire at
least 1 month prior to your reception date.
