Questions people usually ask me...
Do you take requests?
| Yes. As far as I'm concerned, requests are very important to the success of the party. Each crowd is different and has different tastes in music. Taking requests allows me to get a feel for what music your guests like. But, I do use discretion in what requests I play. I don't play every song that someone asks for. I play requests that I feel are appropriate for the event. |
How much does it cost?
| There are a wide variety of costs involved in hiring a DJ. Some charge more, some charge less. Some DJ's charge based on experience. Some have larger, more extensive light-shows or large amounts of sound equipment. Some have big music libraries. It is a good idea to shop around to get a DJ that will fit in your budget. Call me for a rate quote at 1-877-252-2708 or email me. |
Are there any set-up or tear-down fees?
| No. I charge by the hour per event. You are not charged for my set-up and tear-down time. |
When do you set-up for a party or reception?
| Typically, I arrive and set-up about an hour to 45 minutes before your party begins. My goal is to always be set-up and ready to play music before your first guest arrives. |
What kinds of music do you play?
| All types of music. I bring new hits, oldies, 70s and 80s music. Country and standards. Everything from rock to rap to dance. I have a music library of over 11,000 songs, and I subscribe to a new music service so I always have the very latest hits. Usually, requests from your guests help me decide what to play at a given event. Also, before your party we will discuss what types of music you like. |
Can I specify songs or types of music I don't want played?
| Yes. It is not uncommon for someone to ask that I don't play a certain types of song. Or sometimes I'm asked not to play specific songs. If during your party I get a lot of requests for something you've asked me not to play, I will make sure I get your permission before playing those requests. |
What typically happens at a reception?
| There are traditional events for receptions, like the cutting of the cake and the Father-Daughter dance. But this is your reception. We're going to do what you want to do. Click here for an example of a typical wedding reception format. I provide a guideline for what often occurs at a wedding reception, but in the end, everything is totally up to you. |
Will you announce the wedding party or make other announcements?
| Certainly. An important part of my job at any event is making announcements. Another part of my job is to make sure the event flows smoothly. |
What type of equipment do you have?
| I use a Kustom amplifier and speakers, along with a
Gemini mixing board and dual-tray professional CD player. I
also have a wireless microphone for toasts. In addition, I
carry a laptop computer that I use to help catalog my large music
library. With over 11,000 songs, its really helps to be able
to search my music database to find the song I need.
I also have a set of colored/blinking spot lights to illuminate the dance floor area.
|
Where will you DJ at?
| Mostly I DJ in Kosciusko and Whitley counties. But I have also DJ'd parties and wedding receptions in South Bend, Goshen and Fort Wayne. In other words, I'll DJ all over northern Indiana. (Distance premium may apply. Ask me.) |
Were you that "Splash" guy from 103.5 FM?
| Yes, that was me. I've since left radio for a career in teaching, but I'm still doing DJ work on weekends. |
