FAQ's

Q) Do you have a storefront?
A) No, if a client needs to meet face to face, then I meet them at my home in Royal Oak or occasionly at their location. Most clients book us over the phone however. Though we are happy to have you over it is by appointment only.

Q) Are you really brothers?
A) Well, originally my brother Kevin and I were the Boogie Brothers but life moved on and Kevin chose to have his weekends open and stopped dj'ing. Jerry and I have been friends for years but are not brothers.

Q) How do we choose which one of you to book?
A) Usually your referral source will determine that, otherwise our calendars will define who gets the lead. It's seniority Dan then Jerry

Q) Do you guys yap on the microphone all night?
A) No, it's your party not ours. We only help with the emceeing and maybe a comment from time to time if necessary to aid in keeping the dance floor moving.

Q) Why you guys? 
A) Years of experience, more referrals/testimonials than any other dj company on the net, a top 5 dj company voted by brides during a survey by "THE KNOT" in 2007 and our promise to not play the hokey pokey or chicken dance unless you request it.

Q) Do you have any hidden charges?
A) No, our pricing is all inclusive. (lights too) We don't post our pricing on the web but we can tell you that on average we are about $200 more than the employee style dj operations.

Q) Do you have different packages?
A) Our regular package is comprehensive and leaves nothing out. We do occasionally suggest an upgrade wherein you'd have extra speakers but that is rare.

Q) How far do you work from your home base of Royal Oak?
A) We've made exceptions in every direction, but this is a rule of thumb.  North -- usually not beyond Flint > South -- usually not beyond Toledo > East -- Have gone as far as Port Huron > West -- usually not beyond Ann Arbor. But if it is an odd date, a weekday or a Friday - let's talk...

Q) What type of reservation fee do you require?
A) Typically $400 check or cash.

Q) Do you require a contract?
A) Yes - and you better hope any dj you're hiring does or you have to question why...

Q) Do you have a refund policy?
A) Yes, if you cancel your event and we are able to replace it with another comparable event, you'll get your reservation fee back.

Q) Do we tell you what to play?
A) We are open to your input if you think you have a handle on your crowd however this is what we do for a living. If a good dj knows anything he knows how to read a crowd.

Q) What kind of music do you play?
A) What do you want? Our song library is over 3000 pages long.

Q) Can we come visit one of your events to see you in action?
A) Yes, but keep in mind that this is actually a poor way to judge.  You need to do like scientists do and have a decent sample. The problem is you'd need to attend at least 3 events of the dj's you're looking at hiring and take an average.  Who has that kind of time?  I've known terrible deejays that get lucky with a good crowd on occasion - so buyer beware. The Knot Survey which I didn't even know was taking place came up with the top 5 deejay companies in Michigan. We were the only "small" company to make it. What does small mean... first and foremost that you get to actually talk with the dj you'll be booking. Second, we are able to keep a real close pulse on our quality. It also means that all we do is dj.

Q)  Do you help to keep the event flowing.  Do you handle all the announcements?
A) Yes, we pride ourselves on keeping things running in a nice order to make the night run smooth.  The client shouldn't have to worry about the details on the event day. This should be the time to enjoy and have the pros you hired make things happen. This strength is one of the reasons other pros and venues refer us. They know we make their job easy.

Q) Do we meet you more than once?
A) YES - kind of... We meet once initially either over the phone or in person to see if we're the right fit. There we discuss some basics and get acquainted.  If you choose to book us, then the Sunday or Monday prior to your event we go over all the details on the phone. In the case of my corporate clients, things are usually handled entirely over the phone.

Q) What if you get sick?
A) We are members of the IDJN.  A group of over 50 deejays and short of an accident enroute that left one of us incapacitated on the day of your event, we all help to back one another up. In 18 years and over a thousand weddings I (Dan) have missed one event. If you want to know why ask me. It was medical and a fluke. 

Q) Do you carry back up gear?
A) We do -- a complete system.  Believe it or not most guys don't but say they do.

Q) What do you wear?
A) Corporate events vary. I've worn everything from dress shorts and a Hawaiian shirt to the more common Tux Attire or occasionally a dress shirt, slacks and tie. It depends on your event. I can assure you though that we will dress professionally.

Q) What type of audio gear do you use?
A) Jerry has a Pioneer Pro CD System with high end Mackie Speakers on Ultimate Supports.
A) Dan (I) use a Digital hard Drive Controller, 2 laptops, 2 500GB hard drives and Mackie Powered SRM450's on Ultimate Supports. With a Sennheiser UHF Wireless Microphone System.  Martin Lights.

NOTE:  THE GEAR WE USE IS ALL TOP OF THE LINE STUFF.  IT REALLY BECOMES LIKE ARGUING OVER WHICH YOU LIKE BETTER -- A LINCOLN OR A CADILLAC?

Q) How much do you charge?
A) It depends on a handful of variables.  For the most part we have standard pricing during the popular wedding months. We offer some discount January thru March.  Call us and we'll be sure that you'll get a quote right away. Are we side stepping a quote here on the net? - Yes. There are too many variables.  Including how close is the date you need?  Also, we've found that when we posted our rates on the net, our leads dropped by 50%. Often people have been talking to deejays that only have a low price to offer.  In this business you typically get what you pay for.  We don't bite - so pick up the phone and call us.
