Do you take requests? To ensure your party's a hit, guests are always welcome to come up to the disc jockey and make requests. What time do you set up? We set up 1 hour before start time so that we have plenty of time to thoroughly test the equipment and ensure that you and your guests have the best sound possible.

We will always let you know who your DJ will be before you even reserve the date. How will the DJ be dressed? We will always be dressed in a vest with tuxedo pants for your wedding.
