Disc Jockey FAQs

Choosing your vendors can feel like a daunting task and you may have many questions. To help you get started, we have included some of the questions brides and grooms ask us most frequently. This list is not intended to be exhaustive, so, if you have questions that aren’t answered here, please don’t hesitate to ask!

Will the DJ meet with me to discuss my wedding needs?

Our office staff will contact you to set up a pre-planning meeting and final meeting with your DJ. These meetings can take place either at our office or over the phone. We feel that both of these meetings are important in the personalization of your wedding. The meetings will give you the opportunity for you and your DJ to get comfortable with one another.

Can we come watch our DJ at a wedding?

All of the weddings we work are private affairs. Out of respect for our clients, we do not allow clients to come watch us DJ. It should also be noted that no two weddings are the same, so the preferences of the couple may be completely different from your preferences.

We have a flat travel fee of $300 for all events occurring in the San Francisco, Napa Valley, Carmel/Monterrey, and Peninsula areas. Please contact us for a travel estimate if your event is happening in the Sacramento or Central Valley areas!
