How do we book The DJ Specialist for our event? Top
It’s as easy as picking up the phone, or filling out our online forms. We will be happy to assist you in any way we can to make your event most memorable. In order to determine availability and rates for your event, we will need to know as much as possible about the event you are planning beforehand. Usually we reserve our dates on a first come first serve basis. We require a 50% deposit to reserve your event date.
Our company has a reputable name for fun, quality and excitement. We are recommended through a lot of people and companies. Don’t miss out! Be sure to reserve your event date early, because most popular dates are normally reserved six months to one year in advance.
Do you have any additional charges in addition to your packages? Top
In general, all packages will have one up front price. We do assess a nominal service fee for events outside a 50 mile radius from the BWI area. We also charge more for additional lighting packages. None of these fees are hidden and are explained if they apply and are requested for your event. We will provide all of this in your consultation and in our contract.
What does the disc jockey wear? Top
For weddings the DJ will dress in a tuxedo. The DJ plays an integral part in your reception whether in a conservative mode or outgoing. It's important for us to look our best. All other events will be based on your request. (Suit, Tux, Casual)
How many years of experience do you have? Top
We have been in the DJ business since Aug of 1991. Our experience brings an awareness of could be common problems and situations. Experience also offers suggestions of things that might be helpful to your event. Be sure your DJ has experience with your type of event. A professional DJ will become involved with the planning of your special day and will be prepared to handle all announcements and special events on the day of your party.
Will you allow requests? Top
Yes! I’ll even play your CDs or MP3s. DJ Specialist is a professional company that will work with you to create your own customized list of music for your reception. Let’s face it, music is the whole key to your successful event. We will provide you with a song list that you can pick choose from to create your own song list, and we will even take your guests’ requests. Our music library contains hits from yesterday to today and is continually updated with the newest releases. I’ll even play your CD’s if you wish. Remember to keep in mind we aim to please all music genera’s and still keep our dance floor packed! Rest assured at your event DJ Specialist can entertain all music lovers.
How early will you be there to set up? Top
Our preference is to have at least an hour to an hour and a half for setup. This allows us to sound check the room, properly secure all cables, and have time to work with any last minute details. If you enhance your event with any of your packages with lighting we usually prefer to set up two and half hours ahead of your event. (Setup and travel times are free of charge.)
What if the DJ gets sick? Top
I’m happy to report since 1991 that no DJ has ever missed an event due to any circumstance. However, it is always possible for something completely unforeseen and extraordinary to occur. In this event we would find a suitable replacement from our association first. We also network with a team of other pro DJs in the Baltimore/ DC area that would help us if it was necessary.
Do you use professional equipment? Top
Using professional grade sound equipment helps ensure reliable service and a quality presentation. There is a difference between the audio equipment you have at home and the equipment a professional Disc Jockey uses. Currently we use Peavy, QSC and JBL equipment. All professional audio equipment is built to go on the road day in and day out.
Will you provide back up equipment in case of an emergency? Top
Yes, rest assured we will have back up equipment readily available.
