Frequently Asked Questions

 

 

 

 

 

 
Q. How long has your company been in business and how experienced are your disc jockeys performing weddings?
A. The owner of Event Entertainment has been in business over 25 years. Make sure to hire an experienced professional Dj to host a wedding celebration. A less experienced Dj may be adequate for less formal events. DO NOT TAKE A CHANCE with a "once in a lifetime" event. All of our Djs have at least 10 years (wedding) experience and some have over 25 years.
 
Q. Do you provide a written contract for your services?
A. This should be YES without exception! Never take their word for it. Get it in writing!
 
Q. May I see a specific dj perform at a wedding reception?
A. This answer is NO. Should your DJ allow a stranger to "pop-in" and watch even a few minutes of your big day and give the impression that they care more about the "next sale" rather than the party in front of them?  However we do allow potential clients to visit our djs at a pre-approved function such as a bull roast, night club etc.
 
Q. How much does Event Entertainment charge?
A. Look for value for your entertainment dollar. Human jukeboxes will always charge less than Entertainers and/or helpful planners. In Maryland / DC, prices range from $350 for "human jukeboxes" to $2000 and higher for the cream of the crop Entertainers. Our prices start at $775 for 4 hours. We have promotional discounts at certain times of the year. Fill out our Online Quote Form for an exact price. Please read our article WHY THE LOWEST PRICE IS NOT ALWAYS YOUR BEST OPTION! It could save your event!! These are actual stories from Brides and Grooms who looked for the lowest price!!
 
Q. Does Event Entertainment have references?
A. A list of references should be made available to you from any experienced Disc Jockey company. This is a great way to be sure you have selected the best musical host for your celebration or event. If a DJ is reluctant to provide references, chances are they do not have any or they do not want you to learn about their lack of professional skills. After every event we email an evaluation form or there will me one located within your online planning tools area.
 
Q. Is Event Entertainment a member of any local or national disc jockey organizations?
A. Yes. We are members of BADJA (Baltimore Area Disc Jockey Association) and NAME (National Association of Mobile Entertainers).
 
Q. What are the differences between Elite and Premium Djs?
A. This is a question we get asked a lot. All of our Djs have at least 10 years experience. Djs that work for us have already had in most cases years of experience before coming to Event Entertainment and have to meet our strict requirement to work for us. Like some other companies we DO NOT train young people to be Djs and pay them a minimum salary to make more profit. Our Elite Djs have moved to another level because of their past performances and feedback from clients while working for DZ Entertainment and are considered to be some of the best in the industry. With over 15 years experience and hundreds of weddings, again and again these Djs get rave reviews from clients and are highly sought after by referrals from past clients and the areas top venues. Elite Djs do book up fast so please book these Djs early to reserve their services. Most brides book these Djs 12 -18 months in advance.
 
Q. Are the djs limited to only 4 or 5 Hours because they might have another wedding?
A. In most cases this should be NO! The venue usually dictates the number of hours at a reception. However during peak wedding season sometimes we book more that 1 job per dj on any given Saturday.
 
Q. How early will the dj arrive prior to a wedding reception?
A. Arrival time is generally 60-90 minutes prior and setup is complete before stated contract time.
 
Q. What does the dj wear to a wedding reception?
A. The DJ will always dress in appropriate attire according to the event and the wishes of the client. For weddings our djs wear formal tuxedos or suits unless otherwise instructed.
 
Q. Will the DJ act as a Master of Ceremonies?
A. This depends on the style of services the client wishes to have. All of our djs are accomplished professional speakers and capable of acting as Master of Ceremonies. Some of our djs even have years of radio broadcasting experience.
 
Q. Are you able to play continuous music?
A. Yes...the music never stops.
 
Q. How much music will the dj bring to the event?
A. This should be a significant amount with over 20,000 songs as a starting point. Most of our djs carry between 60,000 and 100,000 selections to every event. We also subscribe to RPM and Top Hits to ensure we have all of the latest music available.
