Learn More"Kim was amazing! Responsive and attentive she knew what we didnt and helped us with all our questions. Jermaine was also the perfect DJ, so nice and had a great personality and attitude for the whole event adding to our experience as well as great music and MC'ing. Would 1000% use again for any other event!""
"The whole experience was great from starting everything with Kim to the day of the event with CiCi, she was very personable very easy to talk with and go through things all evening. The music flowed great and kept the crowd going and any request or announcing were nailed right away. Highly recommend the service."
"The DJ we hired was great. Darcy kept the the crowd on the dance floor having fun. Your communication was great and prior questions on the portal made the process easy. Would recommend your services."
"Cody was so amazing and super helpful with keeping things on track. He read the room very well!"
"Jeremy was very attentive to us during the reception. He played what our guests wanted to play and was overall a lot of fun"
Yep, we bring everything: sound system, microphones, and lights. You just bring the people.
Yes, we’re happy to take requests (unless you say otherwise). It’s your party, after all.
Yes! Your DJ will have a meeting with you to go over everything 7-14 days ahead of your wedding. You may meet with him or her via phone call, video call, or in person – if possible.
We assign DJs 60 days before your wedding or event, so we know who is and isn’t available from our team! We never promise you a specific team member, because life can throw a curveball anytime- people get sick or emergencies happen– but we DO promise you will have someone from our team, no matter what happens!
Absolutely! You’re welcome to personalize your playlist as much—or as little—as you’d like, as long as the songs are legally available for us to use. While we do not purchase or play explicit music to maintain a family-friendly atmosphere, we can usually access clean or radio-edited versions of most tracks. Your DJ will follow your musical preferences and ensure any guest requests align with the guidelines you’ve provided. We also recommend allowing your DJ some flexibility to “read the room” and play songs that keep the energy up and your guests on the dance floor!
Most wedding reception DJs are hired for 5- 7 hours. Additional DJ timing is sometimes needed if you will need music or sound during your wedding ceremony.
Our DJs typically cost between $995 and $1,895, depending on the date, location, and length of time required for the event(s).
Our DJs take on many responsibilities during a wedding reception including, but not limited to: managing the flow of events, releasing tables for dinner, assisting guests with needs or song requests, assisting with dance floor rules and clean-up, giving announcements (letting your guests know what is happening and what is to come), announcing the wedding party and introducing anyone giving speeches. They do much more than just play music!
Unfortunately, our contracted hours are consecutive and not able to be split up on one single day. If there is downtime, our DJ will play background music, hold doors open while greeting guests, take song requests, and get guests ready for the next event whether it’s cake cutting, dinner, or the first dance.
Gratuity is not included in the price of your service. Whatever you feel is best to tip your professional(s) at the end of the night is up to you! While 10% to 20% tips for wedding vendors is a guide; nothing is expected, but it’s always appreciated!
If you need more time than what you booked prior to your event, you’re able to add time on at any point (even the night-of) with any service for an additional charge! Just let us know, and we’ll take care of you on your special day!
