If for some unfortunate reason you must cancel your booking with us, your deposit will be forfeited.

8. "Is setup time included in your price?"
You never have to pay for setup or takedown time. Depending on what services you are requiring depends on the amount of setup required. We will work with you to determine the best setup time so that we will be set up long before your first guest arrives. This is done at no charge to you and is included in addition to your contracted "performace" time. The same applies for takedown time after your event.

Our care and concern for your special event is second only to your own. We are able to bring our experience from hundreds and hundreds of performances to your one special night. This means we make your vision of the perfect event a reality. Our fresh look brings a new definition to "experienced DJ." We've been entertaining for over 15 years; but there is nothing old about our company. Our systems are uniformly sleek and state-of-the-art and of course our DJ'ing ablility is highly polished and energetic. We believe that being a successful disc jockey requires 100% musical and entertainment expertise, 100% customer service satisfaction, and 100% professionalism. The investment you make in our company reflects the expertise and quality we bring to your special event.

11. "Do you take breaks?"
Our services are truly uninterrupted and non-stop. From our scheduled start time to our scheduled end time we will never pause to take a break unless you request otherwise. Much unlike bands that need to stop and rest, we can keep playing straight through your event and provide your guests the ultimate entertainment experience!
TOP
12. "How loud do you play the music?"
One of the greatest complaints of bands and DJ's alike is that they play the music too loud. It doesn't have to be that way! During cocktail and dinner hours (if applicable) the volume will be a gentle light sound that will cover the banquet room at a nice level. When it's time to dance, our speaker system will get as loud as you want it to get! Rather its a comfortable sound level for everyone to enjoy or a sound level that will litterally make the ground shake, we can accommodate your needs. You are in total control over the volume and we will give you exactly what you want, always.

13. "Do you have backup equipment?"
Your special event could very well be one of the most memorable days of your life; so we offer you the highest level of dependability. We keep a complement of essential backup equipment available at all times for all events. If a component were to fail, it could easily be switched, quickly and discreetly, to keep any "down time" to an absolute minimum.
TOP
14. "Do you hang any banners or other advertisements?"
Absolutely not. We pride ourselves on being professional at all times. While we appreciate referral business, we feel our services speak for themselves. We will not hang any banners, logos, or signs on our equipment. Nor will we put any advertisements on the dinner tables. You can be assured that we are at your event to please you, not to "advertise" our business to your guests.
TOP
15. "How interactive are your DJs?"
A very familiar question! Often times when a prospective client is looking for the perfect DJ they search for one who fits the level of interaction they're looking for, whether it be conservative or outgoing. We actually let you decide how much interaction you would like. We can be conservative, outgoing, or anywhere in between. By default, 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 us yelling, screaming, or even singing over the microphone. Even at our most outgoing level, we still remain totally professional and never steal the spotlight!

16. "How far will you travel?"
We will perform in Victoria and the surrounding area at no additional charge. For locations outside a 60-mile radius of Victoria, we have a travel fee starting at $50.
TOP
17. "Is tipping/gratuity expected by 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 we have surpassed your expectations and you want to tip us, we would accept it as the utmost compliment. But you're under no obligation to do so.
TOP
18. "Should we feed the DJ?"
One of our most popular questions! The answer is that it is completely up to you. You are by no means obligated to feed us. We have no meal clause of any kind in our contract!
TOP
19. "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 sign a contract as early as 8-12 months before. Depending on availability some dates remain open until the month before. So if you're planning an event for next month, it's worth it to check our availability. If you're just starting your planning, try to make your final decision as soon as possible to ensure our availability.

20. "Are your rates negotiable through price matching or other discounts?"
Our rates are based on our cost of doing business as well as the value we place on the professional job we do. No DJ Service in the South Texas area can match our equipment or our services. Some try to compete against us with pricing. We take all events seriously and attend to each in a professional manner. We're confident you will find our pricing structure to be exceptionally competitive. If our prices are a bit more than you planned to spend, just remember what one major magazine says on entertainment: "The entertainment you choose for your wedding or party is responsible for 80% of the events' success and the memories you will have for the rest of your life." When you book our services you're not only paying for incredible DJ entertainment, you're paying for peace of mind.

21. "How much do you charge/how much is overtime?"
Our fee is determined by a number of factors, including music, time, day of the week, location of event, equipment required, additional services...etc. We have discounted rates for events Sun-Thurs, and discounts and special rates for non-profit organizations.
