Common Questions to Ask your perspective DJ:

1) Are you a member of a professional DJ organization?

We are members of the American Disc Jockey Association (ADJA) and this means that we strive to operate our business in an ethically sound manner while maintaining the highest standards of professional conduct.  Or more simply put, we avoid the music with the 'F' bombs.

2) Are you insured?  Do you have proof of liability?

We have a million dollar liability policy and we can provide the proof.  In fact, most entertainment venues (hotels, halls, etc) are asking DJ's to produce proof of liability insurance so they too can be included on the policy for that particular event. And when venue managers don't ask, they are most likely assuming that the DJ already has the proper coverage.

3) Do you provide a written contract?

Once given the green light, a written contract is drafted and sent to you.  This will include time, date, location, costs, hours, etc.

4) Will there be a different DJ sent to my wedding without my knowledge?

We do not substitute DJ's for any jobs.  Kevin & Kevin will be your DJ's for your event.

5) Are you willing to meet in advance to discuss music and requests?

Absolutely.  We can meet at any time to discuss your ideas and we will do everything possible to make your day special.

6) We're getting married soon...can we visit you at a wedding or any other event to see your setup?

Sorry, but we do not allow site visits as we are focusing on our current clients.  We place a lot of time and effort into every event, giving 100% attention to the business at hand and cannot risk being distracted.  Our clients expect full dedication and that's what we provide!

7) Do you use professional equipment?

Everything we have from a sound and lighting perspective is commercial-grade, name brand DJ equipment including a wireless microphone that's perfect for introductions and bridal party toasts.  Our professional software runs on a Mac computer.  If you want to know the specifics of our other equipment, please give us a call or send us an email.

8) Do you have a back up plan in case of any failures?

We have our backups up and running such as dual computers and CD/MP3 players for each and every event. 

9) How do you dress for weddings?

This is a great question and is always a fierce debate in the DJ world.  Some DJ's feel that tuxedo's are the only way to go while others feel that this might be too much over the top.  We choose to not compete with the bridal party by wearing tux's, so we dress professionally with black suits, white shirts and silk ties. Whenever possible, we try to wear tie colors that match the bridal party.

10) How early will you arrive to set up?

This is a question that most venues will want to know, to ensure that they have someone available to unlock the doors.  We arrive at least 2 hours in advance of your scheduled start time so that we have enough time to unload, run cables and test the sound and lighting before your first guest arrives.  There is no additional charge for this time...it's all part of the deal.

11) Do you provide 'props' for the reception?

We do not provide any props (such as blow-up guitars, funny sunglasses or head dress) for wedding receptions. Our focus is to ensure that all of your guests have an enjoyable time and we've been able to accomplish that goal without having to utilize props.  If it's really important to you and you'd like to bring your own, just let us know and we'll work it into the mix.

12) Where do you get your music and how much music do you have?

We carry about 6,000 songs to every event but when we have the need to buy music, we typically utilize iTunes for individual selections and Amazon or eBay for CD's when necessary.  Some DJ's use the number of songs as a key selling point ("hey, we have 80,000+ songs at your disposal...") but when you consider the fact that a typical 5-hour wedding consists of 100 songs or less...it's much more critical to play the right music at the right time.

13) What if one of my song requests isn't in the music database?

This can happen!  We'll use every legal means to get the music you want but if you can't find it and we can't find it...maybe it's not available?  At a recent wedding, the bride had pre-arranged for one of the guests to burn a CD with a rare song that we were able to play for the her family.  Planning and flexibility is the key.

14) How far are you willing to travel and does your rate go up based on travel distance?

Our home base is Gibsonia, PA.  We will travel about 30 miles in any direction for any job without additional cost to you. For a point of reference, a 30 mile radius example might be Portersville to the north, Beaver Falls to the west, Monroeville to the east and South Park to the south.  For events that are further, we'll have to add a small fee to cover the cost of travel, usually around $50 to $75.  All of this would be defined in our contract with you.

15) What type of experience do you have?

Most of our experience is based on weddings and we consider this as our specialty.  We also love to do other things like birthday parties, graduations, reunions, corporate functions, holiday parties etc.  We've not had any experience with Bar or Bat Mitzvah's, so if you are looking for the Mitzvah experts...sorry, that's not us!

16) Would you consider being our DJ for a charity event?

Absolutely, just give us a call.  We believe in giving back to the community in every way possible, a win-win-win for everyone who is involved.  If you are organizing a charity event that needs to have some background music or a full blown DJ setup, contact us...if we are available for your date, we are your DJ of choice.
