MUSIC MAKERS

Frequently Asked Questions
The following are the questions most commonly asked
throughout the years by prospective clients looking for
a DJ. These are concerns from the customers point of
view.
1. What are your prices?
See the pricing page by clicking on the pricing link.

2.
How are your prices compared to other DJ companies?
Very competitive. We are in the middle price range. Rates for different DJ's
vary from as low as $300 and go up to $1,400. Plan on spending somewhere
in the middle for a competent DJ. DJ quality varies a lot so don't pay too little;
you don't necessarily get more if you pay high end pricing.

3.
What kind of music do you play?
Everything. All styles, eras and types. From 1935 to current. Most of the
library is based on dancing oriented music since that is our specialty. We also
have a solid collection of resource files, including ethnic, international, folk,
classical etc for atmosphere music.

4.
How long have you been in business?
Almost 40 years, starting in 1967 before there was any such thing as a
Mobile Disc Jockey. The equipment used then was extremely heavy and was
made for the theatre or commercial music industry. Of course we've evolved
quite a bit since that time and are still going strong to this day!

5.
What happens if we cancel?
Deposits are refunded for cancellations of no later than two weeks prior to
any event.

6.
How long do your DJ's play?
For as long as you want. 90 percent of our events last for about four hours,
but you have the option to continue for as long as you want. Exceptions to
this may occur if the DJ has another event scheduled immediately afterward,
for example in the case of an afternoon event during a busy weekend.
However this is a rare occurrence.

7.
Do you need advance notice if we want to stay longer than four hours?
No. You may even inform the DJ at the event if you'd like to stay an extra
hour or two. Refer to the answer to question 6.

8.
What is your equipment like/what kind do you use?
Our equipment is all contemporary, professional quality, geared to play as
loudly or as softly as you want and still sound good. We continually stay on
top of the latest technology. We also sell equipment.

9.
How large is your music library?
We have over 40,000 songs in our library, in addition to the music in our
resource files. We bring all eras and styles of music from the 1930's to the
present day to all of our events. This allows us to format the music for your
event to suit your tastes and the tastes of your guests. And of course we
can take most requests!

10.
Can we choose some of our own music?
Yes. You may have as much input as you wish. Some people leave it up to us,
and we make sure the music is appropriate for your event, for you and your
guests. While we don't suggest that you choose every song, we will be happy
to take any requests, before or during the event. Chances are that if it is
recognizable we'll have it. If for some reason we don't have a particular song
we may ask you to provide it.

11.
Do you talk between songs?
We will if you like, but most people prefer to stay away from that. Some
people want a "motivator" DJ, some people prefer a quiet, low key DJ; others
want someone in between. We will send you the kind of person you want.

12.
Do you make announcements or help coordinate events?
Absolutely. We will be happy to make any announcements, do any MC-ing, or
lead any special dance or event you wish. Each DJ has a P.A. system as
standard equipment. If you or anyone you designate wants to use the P.A.
(for a toast, presentation, speech, open-mic, etc) we'll make them sound
good. We will do anything we can to make your event flow smoothly, tie up
loose ends and help make it a success. Aside from playing music, that is why
we're there!

13.
Does the DJ wear a dress?
Only after Labor Day.
