Music Machine Mobile DJ Service started over twenty years ago with one main objective: to deliver the best in Mobile DJ services to our clients and to customize each event to meet the desires of our clients.
What makes your company worth our investment?
Our care and concern for your special event is second only to your own. We are able to bring our experience from over a thousand performances to your one special night. This means we make your vision of the perfect celebration a reality. Our fresh look brings a new definition to “experienced DJ.” We’ve been entertaining for over ten years, but there is nothing old about our company. Our systems are sleek and state of the art and our DJ’s are polished and energetic. We believe the investment you make in our company reflects the expertise and quality we bring to your special event.
Is setup included in your price?
You never pay for setup our takedown time. We typically arrive at least an hour prior to your scheduled start time and will be set up before your first guest arrives. That is on our time as well as the takedown after your event.
Can we choose the music played at our event?
You’ll be amazed at how flexible we are when it comes to making music selections. That’s because over the past 10 years we’ve learned that keeping the dance floor packed is influenced by many factors, including the order in which songs are played, the way songs are mixed together and DJ interaction…not just which songs are played. We’ve had clients that have chosen every song played during there event and others that have left all the music selections up to us. Our recommendation is to provide us with a list of “must play” songs and a list of “play if possible” songs. This will leave plenty of room for requests from your guests and DJ selections. You may also stipulate that we not take request from your guests. Have fun and select music you want to hear and dance to. After all, it is your event!
Can we have a do not play list?
Sometimes the do not play list is equally important than the request list itself. Maybe you have been to one too many weddings lately and are sick of hearing the typical wedding songs. Any specific songs or general types of music you don’t like should go on your “don’t play” list. So don’t feel that we have to play the chicken dance or hokey pokey…we don’t! Rest assured that if a guest requests a song on that is on your “do not play” list, it will not be played.
What if we want a song that you don’t have?
While our extensive music library encompasses a wide variety of hits from the 1940s through today it is likely you may have some obscure requests that are not in our library. In this case we will try and find it or we can play your CD. We will contact you if we can’t find you’re your request. If you will be providing the CD you can bring it to us at the beginning of your event and return them to you at the end of your event. You don’t even have to worry about marking your CD’s as ours have special distinguishing markings.
How loud do you play the music?
One of the greatest complaints of bands and DJs alike is volume was too loud. It doesn’t have to be that way. During cocktail and dinner hours the speakers will be positioned for even sound coverage through out the banquet room at a comfortable level. When it is time to dance, you will have maximum sound coverage on the dance floor and minimum sound in the rest of the banquet room. This means that on the dance floor the music will be at a very comfortable, yet powerful enough level for dancing. Throughout the rest of the room the music will be less predominate and your guests will be able to carry on a normal conversation without having to scream.
Do you hang any banners or other advertisements?
Absolutely not! We pride ourselves on being elegant. While we appreciate referral business, we feel our services speak for themselves. We will not hang any banners, logos or signs on our equipment or on the dinner tables. The extent of our “advertisement is a business card upon request of a guest.
How interactive are your DJs?
Often times when a prospective client is looking for the perfect DJ they search for the one who fits the level of interaction they are looking for, whether it is conservative or outgoing. We actually let you decide how much interaction you would like. We can be outgoing or conservative or anywhere in between. We’re only as interactive as necessary to keep your guests having a good time on the dance floor. In any case you’ll never hear one of our DJs yelling, screaming or even singing into the microphone. Even at our most outgoing level, we will still remain professional and never steal the spotlight.
Do you offer a contract or written agreement?
Absolutely, our contract is straight forward and written in plain English so you can understand the terms before signing. It is signed by both parties and offers you a high level of protection and dependability. With the contract you can be assured that will be no hidden extra charges or surprises at your event. The signed contract and deposit officially reserves your date and of course you keep a copy for your records. If you have any questions or concerns about the terms, just ask.
Is tipping/gratuity expected from the DJ?
By no means is tipping/gratuity mandatory or expected. We charge a professional rate for a professional service. This means you won’t see a tip jar on our table. If at the end of the night you feel the DJ has surpassed your expectations and you want to tip the DJ, we would accept it as the utmost compliment. However you are under no obligation to do so.
Should we feed the DJ?
This is one of our most asked questions. The answer is that it is completely up to you. With setup and takedown time we will often be at your event for nearly 8 hours. Our only request is that you let us know either way ahead of time. This way we can pick something up prior to arrival to set up. If you choose to provide a meal for the DJ, we’d greatly appreciate it. Don’t worry if you are working on a tight budget as there is no meal clause in the contract.
What is the deposit and when is final payment due?
We require 50% of the total contract amount and a signed contract to reserve your date. The remaining balance is due the day of your event. We will gladly accept your personal check, certified check, cashier’s check, money order or cash.
How early should we book?
Simply put…the sooner the better. Some of the most popular dates can and do book as early as one year in advance. Our suggestion is to be prepared to book 8 - 12 months before. Depending on availability some dates remain open until the month before. So if you are planning an event for next month, it’s worth it to check our availability. If you are just starting your planning, try and make your final decision as soon as possible to ensure our availability.
