F.A.Q. - Frequently Asked Questions ... and Answers

 

How soon should we reserve a DJ?

 

When it comes to DJ's, photograpers or venues, the best always go first, so it's a good idea to reserve your DJ about a year in advance. We are already booking events for next year. 

 

What is the process for reserving your services?

​

If you feel comfortable with what you see on this website, and have heard from our references, then let's book it! Contact us using the form on the Contact page, or email me directly.  You can call too.  Once we determine if your event date is available, I will send out a contract for you to sign and return with your deposit. Prior to your event, we will arrange for an initial consultation.  We'll meet, I'll buy you a drink and some food, and we'll go over the checklist, your music preferences, song list, etc.  You can download a sample contract from the link below. 

​

Does the contracted time include equipment set up & travel?

 

You are guaranteed 5 hours of play time. at a venue within 35 miles of downtown Boise. Equipment set-up & tear down, preparation time, consultations-either in person or on the phone, are all included in our agreed price.  Your 5 hour time may vary as to what is stated on the contract, if guests arrive early, we won't let them sit in silence.  Travel to multiple venues, wineries, and out of the area is charged as outlined on the Wedding page under Travel.

​

Can we purchase additional time at the end of the event?

 

Yes. $150 per each hour, after 5 hours.  If we see that everyone is having a great time, we will ask you if you want to keep the party going. We get your permission and keep playing.

​

What if you become sick or have an accident on the day of my wedding or event.

 

We would have to be dying to not be there.  We always have a backup plan.

 

What time do you arrive prior to the event?

 

We always arrive 2 hours prior to a reception  or wedding ceremony to set-up our equipment..  Other events vary, it's our company standard to arrive no later than 1 hour prior to an event.
