TESTIMONIALS

TJ & Mitch rocked our corporate party and even offered to stay an extra hour past the time stated on the contract. They were very accomodating to our guests and made sure everybody had a great time. They were able to read our guests and play music that got people of all ages on the dancefloor. Music videos played on a screen and was fun to have the added visual. TJ’s photobooth was a riot and our company logo printed right out on the photo strip. I will definitely use these guys again for a party and I highly recommend this service to anyone looking for a dj whose main goal is to make sure everyone is enjoying the party. <3 you guys! Hoping to see you next year

Everything was perfect! We could not have asked for a better DJ. Hands down, the best!!! When people requested a song, he would always make sure with us that it was ok and not in a bothersome way. I heard my cousin kept asking for some rap song that just wouldn’t fit in and TJ would not play it. I’m glad he didn’t. He did an excellent job recognizing the crowd and getting everyone to dance at some point throughout the night. Everything kept moving, no dull or down moments, and the reception/party kept moving along without any issues.

TJ did a great job!! He was awesome! Very flexible with our ceremony to reception changes, he was great about getting the “ok” from us about playing certain requested songs, we would definitely recommend him!!!:). We had an AMAZING night with our friends&family, TJ made it even better!!:) thanks TJ!!:).

TJ was great! He was extremely organized and prepared for the event, and also wonderful at coordinating with the other vendors and family members. He was very interactive with the guests and had a positive attitude. Above all, he was courteous and professional and did all he could to make the day run smoothly and see that everyone was having fun. We highly recommend!! TJ is the best!

“TJ did a very good job and was extremely accomodating of our schedule and any special needs. Hisphoto booth printed super fast and great quality pictures.”

He was very personable and approachable. The people at the party liked him. He brought a light show, which added a lot to the party atmosphere. I will hire him again in the future.

FAQS

Questions to ask your wedding DJ before you book.

Finding the DJ that is the best fit for your event can be very difficult. After all, your DJ is the most important vendor for your reception! The DJ is your advocate between you and all of your other vendors and guests. We know what’s out there from our photo booth & photography work. Even if we aren’t available, we are here to make sure you get the best DJ. Here are the questions we would ask as professionals when hiring a DJ.

What is your cost?

Professional DJs will charge $1000 to $2000 in West Michigan. DJ/Photo Booth combos will charge $1750 to $2800. Cost is usually dependent on day of the week, location, added ceremony service, and sometimes number of guests. Professionals will offer a 5+ hour package. 99% of wedding receptions are 6 hours. They will offer overtime at a reasonable rate.

What’s included in your rate?

MC/Coordination, Audio, Basic Lighting – suggested for events up to 150, setup/tear down, travel within 45 minutes of 49501. For events over 150 guests we recommend upgrading sound and lighting as needed. We can service events up to 3500 guests.

Do you MC?

All professional DJs will expertly handle your announcements. This means not only saying, “We have some toasts tonight,” but also directing the flow, announcing before and asking for applause after each speaker, & coaching them up before they speak to hold the microphone close and speak loudly. They should also have clear and concise announcements. Your DJ should not have a “DJ voice.” This can be described as a Cedar Point ride host or game show host. You should ask them to demonstrate or ask for a video sample.

Do you coordinate events?

All professional DJs will coordinate events with your photographer, caterer, photo booth, videographer, & any guests that are needed for any events or dances. In working events with our photo booths, we have seen caterers running up to stop the DJ after he announced the buffet, as they needed to serve salads/bread. This happens very regularly. You definitely want the DJ to be actively communicating upcoming events with any vendors as to make sure nothing is missed.

What do you bring for audio?

Your DJs sound system should include two main speakers(vocals/instruments) and one sub woofer(bass,) 2 or more wireless microphones, mixer/controller, computer & backup, amplifier with backup or powered speakers.

What is your setup?

Ask to see pictures of what their equipment set up will look like at your event.

Do you help with planning?

All professionals will help you with anything they can. This includes, room layout, event timing, playlist, etc. Your DJ should have planning paperwork which helps you organize the night.

What is your dance floor theory?

Our dance floor theory is to please women. Women are 90% of the dance floor at almost all events. We also like to start in the 60s (and work our way up,) as we know older guests leave earlier. We can then please the most amount of people possible with the short amount of time we have. The dance floor is always in a state of rotation or adjustment. We are constantly connecting songs to what’s currently working or not working to maintain the dance floor. We are also aware or the other areas of the room. The dance floor isn’t always your best indicator of success. Some groups like to talk, drink, play lawn games, etc. We want to see people having a good time everywhere, not just the dance floor.

Do you have a contract?

Yes. All professionals will have a contract for your date. The contract should clearly state costs, date, location, what client needs to provide, cancellation terms, payment policies. All without lots of legal jargon.

What is your retainer?

Our retainer is 50% of your total contract Be leery of any service which has a deposit higher than this. This might be an indicator that clients might try and cancel with them often. Some services have deposits as high as 100%.

Do you offer ceremony service?

Yes. On site ceremonies are very popular. We offer a separate smaller sound system with lapel microphone for ceremonies.

How many events do you do in a day, year? How many wedding have you done?

We almost never perform more than one event per day per DJ. If there is no risk associated, we might. An example would be a sporting event in the morning then a wedding starting in the evening. We are at 300-350 events per year over all of our services offered. We have no idea how many weddings total we have been a part of.

Do you have any up charges, hidden fees, or other additions we should be aware of?

The only additional charge we would have is our screen and projector rental. This is popular for slide shows and is rented usually 10 times per year. We do have a small travel charge for events far from our base.

Can we see you in action?

Yes and no. We serve a wide variety of clients, including trivia nights, karaoke, nightlife, corporate events, and private events such as weddings. You’re more than welcome to attend one of the public events we provide services for. However, we would never invite someone to another person’s wedding or private event. Keep in mind that each type of event has a unique style and format. If you’re a wedding client attending a trivia night, your goal should be to meet the DJ, say hello, and see if you connect energetically—not to expect a packed dance floor.
