Over the years, we've gotten questions from people just like you posing as party planners 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 Corporate411@AGoodtimeDJ.com. We'll quickly send you a response.

Q - What sets your company apart from others?
Twenty Five years of experience at more events than any other company in the New England area uniquely positions us as the leader in the region.

Q - Who are your Disc Jockeys?
Our company is comprised of seasoned personalities who have an enormous amount of entertainment experience. Their skills are kept sharp by busy event schedules and our ongoing training seminars. Go to our Meet Our DJ's page for a closer look.

Q - What will the DJ wear?
A classic black tuxedo, unless you request otherwise.

Q - The CEO wants to make a welcome speech, can he use your microphone?
Certainly. We'll even give them a quick lesson.

Q - We have prizes to raffle off during the party. When should we do that and how?
We find that the best way is to make it fun and continuous. Try Let's Make A Deal instead of pulling names. Answering Company Trivia is another idea. Try to give away most prizes before dancing, but save a few to build suspense through the evening.

Q - Will the DJ play my requests?
Absolutely. Contrary to the beliefs of some people, WE KNOW it's your event. Your DJ will play the songs on the music list that you've highlighted and steer clear of those that you've crossed out. With your permission, they will take your guests requests as well, provided they fit within the music program you've designed.

Q - What if we want to hear a song that's not on the playlist?
Beyond what you see on our music list, we have a master music library that contains more than 220,000 songs, virtually everything popular from the Big Band Era to today's Top 40. So, if you don't see a particular selection, call us, there's a good chance that it's in our library.

Q - What does the equipment look like?
You'll be happy to know that we believe in filling the room with sound NOT equipment. Our CD sound systems are attractive, compact and deliver high quality coverage. They include a wireless microphone for all of your presentations and announcements. You will not need to supply cables, only an outlet. Plus, we take the time to hide all of the wires and cables out of site.

Q - We don't want to hear any Christmas music at our holiday party is that a problem?
No. We understand that Christmas music may not be appropriate or desired.

Q - Our cocktail hour is going to be in a separate room from the dinner & dancing. Is that a problem?
No. We suggest that you opt for us to set up a second sound system which allows for uninterrupted music as your co-workers mingle and enjoy hors d'oeuvres.

Q - Do you have back-up equipment?
Yes. We bring plenty of extra gear...just in case.

Q - Do you put up any signs or banners?
No. No Way. Never.

Q - When is the best time to present our years-of-service awards?
During dessert. The room is quiet and the recipients will get the group's full attention.

Q - What if, due to an emergency, my DJ can't make it to the party?
If the DJ is admitted to the hospital with two broken legs and pneumonia, we will send our on-call DJ to your location. Though nerer used, we have a DJ on-call 365 days of the year, just in case.

Q - Our Annual Picnic will be held at theMount Washington Hotel, do you travel?
Yes. We travel throughout New England, including New York, New Jersey, and Hawaii. There is no travel fee for events held in the Route 93, Boston to Concord, N.H. area. However there is a reasonable travel fee to locations outside of that area perimeter.

Q - Does the DJ require a meal?
A meal is never expected, but it is always appreciated.

Q - Is it appropriate to tip the DJ?
No. But if you think your Disc Jockey has exceeded all expectations, your gratuity, even a thank you, makes your DJ feel that they made your event a success.

Q - We're planning on over 400 guests and most people attending don't know everyone. What can we do to make them all feel comfortable?
Check out our Ice Breakers Page for some terrific ideas on making everyone feel a part of the group.
