Over the years, we've gotten questions from people
just like you with Disc Jockey questions about their
event. Below, you'll find the most popular ones.
If you have a question that's not answered here,
please email it to Questions@AGoodtimeDJ.com.
We'll quickly send you a response.
Q:
Do you take breaks?
No.
Our DJ staff will perform continuously throughout
the night. From our scheduled start time until
your party is over, the music will be playing
(unless of course you request a break for some
other reason).
Q:
Can we choose the music to be played at our event?
Our services are based solely upon what you want
them to be. We have learned that keeping your
crowd alive depends on a lot of things including
the type of music, type of mix, DJ personality,
atmosphere, etc
but not just the music. From
our song search page you have the opportunity
to create a song list for your event and submit
it to our staff all online. Taking the time to
submit lists online will greatly increase your
chances of a successful event and also allow your
DJ to customize the music at your event.
Q:
Can we have a "do not play" list?
Yes. This may be just as important to you and
your event. You may also create a do not play
list from our song search page and send it to
us in the same manner.
Q:
What if we want a song that you don't have?
Our music collection spans thousands of songs
from several decades. Often a client will want
a song that is somewhat obscure and we may not
have it. If this is the case there are two options:
you may either supply us with the CD before the
event so that we may check it for scratches, or
(if you do not own a legal copy) we will obtain
that song before your event. Just give us lots
of advance notice if we need to find a song. If
you give us a CD we will return it to you at the
end of the night.
Q:
How loud do you play the music?
One of the greatest concerns of bands and DJs
is that the music is too loud. This will not be
the case with our services. During your cocktail
and dinner hours we will play soft and relaxing
background music. The sound will be as evenly
dispersed throughout the hall as possible. We
will make sure that your guests can hear both
themselves talking and the background music. When
it comes time for dance music we will adjust accordingly.
Speakers may be repositioned. Our staff will adjust
the equalization of the music in order to get
the right sound for the specific room. We will
focus the music in the dance floor area. This
means that while the volume is loud enough to
dance to on the floor, the rest of the room will
be able to continue to hear themselves socialize.
Q:
Do you have backup equipment?
Our DJs will have a small amount of equipment
on-hand to ensure the music keeps going. Our equipment
and staff are very dependable. If something does
fail, it can be easily fixed or switched without
you and your guests even knowing. If something
major happens (which it never has) an off duty
employee may be called upon to provide additional
reinforcement.
Q:
Do you provide a light show?
Our light shows are additional options available
to you. Your DJ will help you select a lightshow
appropriate to your event. It may be a simple,
elegant show or a concert-like show complete with
Intelligent lighting. The ultimate decision is
up to you. We have the ability to obtain almost
any type of lighting available in the market today.
Q:
How interactive are your DJs?
This is another great concern of all customers.
The answer is simple: our DJs are as interactive
as you want them to be. They can be background
figures that keep the attention on the bridal
party, completely outgoing, or any level that
you desire. We are professional entertainers and
can handle your requests without a problem. However,
you will never hear your DJ yelling or singing
into the microphone. We still maintain a degree
of professionalism no matter how outgoing you
want us to be. We will use our skills professionally
and never steal the spotlight.
Q:
How experienced are your entertainers?
All of our entertainers are hand selected and
trained. We have many levels of staff available.
Our DJs have been trained formally by George Whitehouse
the most knowledgeable and experienced mobile
Disc Jockey in the country. They have also served
as assistants and received on the job training.
Our apprentice DJs surpasses most of the DJs (regardless
of experience). Apprentice DJs are available at
competitive rates. Our Senior DJ staff currently
consists over 20 of the most talented Disc Jockeys
in New England. If you require nothing but the
best, the our senior staff is here to cater to
you. We take pride in providing quality service
to all of our customers.
Q:
Will my DJ be drinking at my event?
Besides it not only being against state law, our
company does not allow any of our entertainers
to consume alcohol before or during any event.
We are strict on this policy and you have nothing
to worry about. We are professionals and act accordingly.
Q:
Are you insured?
Most quality banquet facilities require entertainment
companies to be fully insured. We are covered
by a $500,000.00 aggregate liability insurance
policy. You and your guests are protected by our
service. This gives you the security of knowing
that you, your friends, your family and the facility
are taken care of by a professional company that
cares enough to be prepared.
Q:
Does the DJ expect tipping/gratuity?
While it is common to tip the entertainment industry,
it is not mandatory. Our staff is well paid from
your fees. However, if your DJ surpasses your
expectations and you wish to tip, a 5-10% tip
would be considered extremely generous and taken
as a great compliment.
Q:
Should we feed the DJ?
This is another common question. The answer is
up to you. Our DJs are often at your location
for 8 hours or more after setup and takedown time
is included. Please let us know if you will be
feeding the DJ so that if you are not we can stop
and pick something up on the way to your event.
If you do provide your DJ staff with food they
will be grateful.
