FAQ's

Q) Do you have a storefront?
A) No, we meet customers at our individual homes in Royal Oak. If you're booking Chris you'll meet him over the phone. Though we are happy to have you over it is by appointment only. Majority of our clients book over the phone now because of our reputation.

Q) Are you really brothers (Kevin and I)?
A) Let's hope so, or Mom and Dad have a lot of explaining to do.

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 - KEVIN - CHRIS

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 our wedding song?
A) Yes though you may stump us from time to time we have to much music to mention. The conversation we have the Sunday or Monday prior to the reception assures us we have the real important "main" songs.

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 dj operations.

Q) Do you have different packages?
A) Our regular package is comprehensive and leaves nothing out. We do offer a platinum package from time to time (depending on availability) wherein you'd have extra speakers and a second pro assistant to help. This package is only available on request and has a slightly higher price tag.

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 or a friday - let's talk...

Q) What type of reservation fee do you require?
A) Typically $400 check or cash. We can flex a bit on that.

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) Will you help us pick out some bridal/special dance songs?
A) We'll give you ideas of what others have used but when it comes to the 3-4 "special dances" we need you to make that decision. 

Q) What kind of music do you play?
A) Please read this essay of sorts - News Flash

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 meet the dj you'll be booking. Except for Chris he'll meet you over the phone as he is in school full time for his MBA and also has a day job. Second, we are able to keep a real close pulse on our quality.

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 bridal consultants and photographers 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 to see if you want to book our services (phone or in house appt.). There we discuss some basics and get acquainted.  If you choose to book us, then the Sunday or Monday prior to the reception we go over all the details on the phone. The second time we meet face to face is at your wedding reception. In the case of my corporate clients, things are usually handled entirely over the phone. Also, most of my brides and grooms book over the phone now as well. Our reputation precedes us.

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) Tux Attire and occasionally a suit and tie as Kevin, the non-comformist occasionally bucks tradition to keep up the rebel younger brother thing.

Q) What type of audio gear do you use?
A) Kevin has a Pioneer Pro CD System with high end powered RCF/Mackie Industrial Speakers on Ultimate Supports. With a Samson UHF Wireless Microphone.  Martin Lights. Sony Laptop
A) Dan uses a Numark CD System and Mackie Powered SRM450's on Ultimate Supports.  With a Sennheiser UHF Wireless Microphone System.  Martin Lights. Sony Laptop & Lenovo Laptop.
A) Chris has the same system as Dan but uses a Macintosh Laptop.
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.
