A: If something happens to the DJ and he can not make the event. We always keep contracted DJs on call to fulfill the contract.

In addition, the DJ has a backup system with them should something fail equipment wise.
4.Will the DJ play requests?
A: Of course if allowed in the contract, keep in mind the DJ filters requests, meaning they will not play a song that you specifically asked them not to play or music from a genre you asked them not to play. If someone makes a request that fits in well with what the DJ is playing at the time and with the music you want, then the DJ will try and play it.
5.Can we request songs for the DJ to play?
A: You are able to pick which songs you definitely want to hear, and ones you do not want to hear, for your event. We have an online planning system for this.

A: Sure, but we would like to get the music file(s) in advance of the event. If doing this, please consider the audience attending your event.

A: The deposit is required at the time of booking and the remaining balance is due 2 weeks prior to the event date. Weddings are due 30 days out. Payments can be made through our online planning system using a debit or credit card or PayPal account. I also accept checks but you must first speak with me for details.

A: We do not include gratuity in the final contract price. 10-20% is generally recommended if your DJ did a great job, but it is entirely up to you.
9.Will the DJ play overtime if needed?
A: Yes, the DJ is able to play past the contracted time, but payment is due at that time if at all possible. The DJ usually is equipped with a card “swiper” to accept payment for overtime.

Both parties will sign and the client will be contractually reasonable to pay the new balance within 24 hours.
