FAQs

Our DJs are priced according to experience, performance ability, and popularity.  While all of our DJs are fun and outgoing people, they have different levels of emcee, music mixing, and crowd reading skills. Popularity is also a big factor in the price, just like other areas of the entertainment business. The greater demand for a specific talent, the higher the price.

Our experienced DJs will be able to construct more fluid music sets from your playlist. They also tend to be better at reading the crowd and tailoring the music accordingly, and can be smoother on the microphone and with their emcee presence in general.Those are skills that are perfected over time.

That being said, the DJs in the lower tiers are not “inferior DJs”. They are either DJs who are just starting out in their careers or they are “new-to-us” DJs. When “new-to-us” DJs sign on with us, we normally price them a little lower while we get to know their abilities and skills. Once we start getting feedback from their clients we will move them up the price list accordingly.

The DJ’s base rates include: 5 hours of DJ as well as Emcee services, a planning meeting with the DJ, full professional quality sound equipment including mics if needed, and “party lights” (lights used during dancing – NOT the UpLighting which is a separate charge) if desired!

We offer free travel for up to fifty miles or 1 hour from the Performer’s home location. Any event location outside of our free zone radius will be charged a travel fee. Travel fees will be calculated by the office manager on a sliding scale.

Travel fees apply for each service that requires a separate vehicle: DJ, JP, PhotoBooth, and Ceremony Musicians.

For event locations 1.5 hours or more away, overnight accommodations may need to be provided if your event ends past 9:30pm. For events 2 or more hours away, overnight accommodations may need to be provided regardless of the end time. If an overnight room is required, the room must be booked & paid for by the client and check-in instructions given to the entertainer at least 8 weeks prior to the event. We require overnight accommodations as a matter of safety for our performers.

We have travelled all over New England for events, but generally will not travel to events further than 3 hours from the entertainers home location.

We do not rent out our PhotoBooth for events in Boston.

As long as your ceremony is being held at the same function hall as your reception, absolutely! We call this an “on-site ceremony”. There is no additional charge for this as long as your full event fits within a 5 hour block of time. If more than 5 hours are needed the DJ’s overtime rate would apply. Overtime rates are listed beneath the 5 hour base rates on our price list. The DJ’s have a 2nd, smaller system they will use for ceremonies, so they can have their main system set up and ready to go in your reception area.

If your ceremony is being held off-site, we have a wide variety of ceremony musicians to choose from!

Absolutely! We call this the “details meeting”. This meeting takes place about 4 weeks prior to your event date, and we will send you a packet to help prepare. Want to meet or speak with your DJ sooner? No problem! Just let the office know and we will help set something up.

Yes! Please do! We want you to be as confident in your DJ as we are. The best way to meet with our DJs is to attend one of our Entertainment Showcases, but we are also happy to help arrange private meetings instead. Not local? Not a problem! We are happy to arrange phone and/or virtual interviews. We have worked with couples from all over the world!

Everything! Yes, we have a gigantic music library of all categories, and we update weekly to ensure the most current requests. Our DJs know their music! From throwback oldies to the most current dance songs, they will create music sets that energize you & your guests of all ages, keeping the dance floor packed all night long!

Our DJs use professional sound systems enclosed in custom-built soundstages to ensure the highest sound quality and a polished professional appearance. Our Pro speakers project crystal clear sound at any level and our “Party Lighting” will enhance the party atmosphere at no extra charge! You can add our UpLighting to your event for an extra fee.

Every DJ is always dressed in a suit or tuxedo for weddings and black tie events, and suits for anniversary, birthdays, and corporate event unless otherwise requested by the client.

We accept all retainer fees with a credit card via our online contracting system. We can also accept credit cards for PhotoBooth, UpLighting, and Dancing on a Cloud balances. However, the DJ, JP, and ceremony musician’s balance must be paid with cash or check only.

ALL RETAINER FEES are accepted with credit card via our online contracting system.
BALANCES for PhotoBooth, UpLighting, and Dancing on a Cloud ARE accepted on credit card.
BALANCES for the DJ, JP, and ceremony musician’s ARE NOT accepted on credit and must be paid with cash or check only.

All retainer fees are non-refundable and not transferable, and if the event cancels within 59 days prior to the event date the full balance will still be due to your entertainer. This will be clearly stated in the terms & conditions on your contract. Since we do not offer refunds, we try to offer as many resources as possible to make you comfortable and confident in your DJ choice. Whether that be meeting your DJ face-to-face, a phone meeting, or even speaking to past clients, we will provide you with all the info you need!
