Over the years, we've gotten questions from people just like you with event planning questions. Below, you'll find the most popular ones. If you have a question that's not answered here, please email it to Mitzvah411@AGoodtimeDJ.com. We'll quickly send you a response.

Q - You have so many Disc Jockeys. How do I know which one to Choose?
The more the experience, the more entertainment they provide. If you wish to have a low key affair, with fewer guests, our staff can recommend a Disc Jockey that is right for you. If you are having a larger guest count (over 20 kids) or if you like the idea of more activities for kids and adults, our top Disc Jockeys offer much more of an entertainment value. Feel free to share your thoughts with our staff and we would be happy to recommend the Disc Jockey that is right for you.

Q - What if we want giveaways, can you help?
Since we buy in bulk, our costs are much lower then you will probably find on your own. We would be happy to get them for you and simply pass along the cost. Also, since we incorporate the giveaways into the activities, we will recommend leis, maracas and tambourines, inflatable guitars and instruments, glow necklaces and light-up products, sunglasses, hats and boas, are just a few items that will get the most bang for the buck.

Q - I'm going to need a lot of guidance planning this event. Can you help?
One of the most important services we offer, which is part of hiring our DJ's, is the assistance of our office staff. Since we have been involved with hundreds of Bar and Bat Mitzvahs we have a lot of experience we are happy to share. We'll help you carefully plan every detail.

Q - The kids love their music, but what about the adults? How can you possibly make everyone happy?
Our years of experience help us out here. We like to concentrate on the kids favorites that the adults may not dance to during cocktail or game time. We also find there are a lot of crossover tunes that work for all. Involving the kids in a swing contest, bringing on motown and disco skits, playing beach music (beach boys, sixties hits) and when dancing starts playing music that will involve everyone is our secret. We can also utilize traditional group dances such as Yesh, and Mayim, Mayim to get all age groups involved.

Q - Will the DJ play our requests?
Absolutely. Contrary to the beliefs of some people, WE KNOW it's your day. Your DJ will play the songs that you've requested and steer clear of those that you've asked us to avoid. 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. We subscribe to the same music services all the popular radio stations use, with the same clean edits (no bad words). Our music list is never fully updated, 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 announcements and toasts. You will not need to supply cables or tables, only an outlet. Plus, we take the time to hide all of the wires and cables out of site.

Q - Our cocktail hour is going to be in a separate room from the reception. 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 guests mingle and enjoy hors d'oeuvres.

Q - What if, due to an emergency, my MC can't make it to the event?
If the DJ is admitted to the hospital with two broken legs and pneumonia, we will send our on-call DJ to your reception. Though never used, we have a DJ on-call 365 days of the year, just in case.

Q - Our event will be held on Cape Cod, do you travel?
Yes. We travel throughout New England, including New York, New Jersey, and Hawaii. There is no travel fee for 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.
