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?
Your DJ will contact you to set up a pre-planning meeting and final meeting. 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 to get to know your DJ and for your DJ to get to know you, as well.
Can we come watch our DJ at a wedding?
All of the weddings we work are personal 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. The preferences of the bride and groom may be completely different from your preferences.
Do you charge for travel?
Outside of a 30-mile radius from our office, there is a travel charge of 80 cents/per/mile. Additional charges may apply depending on location and/or event accessibility.
How do we pay for our wedding?
A non-refundable retainer of $500.00 is required to hold your wedding date and is due two weeks after we send out your contract. The balance due is required two weeks prior to your wedding date. Acceptable methods of payment include: personal checks, cash, and all major credit cards.
Is the retainer refundable?
Retainers cannot be refunded, as they are used to hold your wedding date and ensure that your DJ will be available.
Do you charge to bring an additional sound system for my ceremony?
We do not charge to bring an additional sound system for your ceremony; one is automatically provided with your package.
What are the differences in your DJs?
The only differences in our DJs are their individual personalities and styles. When you book with Fantasy Sound Event Services, you can expect professionalism and an excellent level of service from all of our DJs.
How will the DJ choose the music for our event?
Music selection is a collaborative task between you and your DJ. Throughout your meetings with your DJ, they will work with you to determine your musical tastes; which styles/artists you enjoy and which you consider “Do Not Play List” candidates. This will ensure that the music that is played at your wedding is tailored to your personal preferences.

Your DJ will act as Master of Ceremonies and will make any announcements throughout your wedding.
Will the DJ take requests at our wedding?
Your DJ will be happy to take requests from your guests during your wedding. If a particular artist or song is on your Do Not Play List, your DJ will honor your preference and will ask for an alternative request.
Do you take breaks?
During your wedding, we do not take breaks. We work throughout your wedding in order to ensure that everything flows smoothly.
Should we tip our DJ?
Gratuities are not required but are greatly appreciated. Your DJ will be working hard to ensure that your wedding is a success. If you feel your DJ gave you great service, then a tip would be appropriate.
