Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you actually mix music?

    Yes! Mixing music live for the dancefloor is my favorite part of this entire job! Don’t assume that I’m behind the podium just turning knobs for no reason. I’m really up there blending tracks, swapping beats, and finding fun ways to keep the dancefloor engaged. Mixing is an artform and one of my favorite ways to express myself.

  • Do you take requests?

    I am happy to take requests from you and your guests if that is your preference! Some couples I’ve worked with in the past prefer that I either do not take requests, or only take requests from them. I am good either way!

  • What happens once a contract is finalized?

    Once we have agreed to an event date and a contract has been signed, I will collect my reservation fee, and you’ll be locked into my calendar. You’re welcome to contact me via call, text, or email with any questions you may have.

    As your event date approaches, we will schedule a “Timeline Breakdown” meeting about 3 weeks before the event. In this meeting, we will go through your entire timeline start-to-finish. This is where we can iron out all details, important moments, music choices, etc. Your coordinator is welcome to be in that meeting as well if they’d like to join.

  • What is your refund policy?

    Once a contract is finalized, I require a $500 reservation fee that is a portion of your total ($300 for Ceremony Only). The reservation fee is fully refundable until 89 days before your event date.

    The remaining total is due no later than 30 days before the day of your event. This amount is refundable until 7 days before the day of your event.

  • Do you service outside of California's central coast?

    Yes, but currently I only provide services to clients in California. If my commute is 2 or more hours to the venue, a travel fee will be added to your total.

    2-3 hour commute - $150

    3.5 - 5 hour commute - $350

    5 hour + $550

  • What if we need to reschedule?

    In the event of the unexpected, I will do everything in my power to ensure that I can still be your wedding DJ. However, I have been receiving a high volume of requests, and it’s possible that I may already be booked on your new event date. If that’s the case, I will reach out to my network of DJs and assist you in finding someone who you are happy with.

    If I am able to accomodate a reschedule, a rescheduling fee of $100 will be due.

    And yes, as long as you requested a reschedule more than 89 days from the day of your event, you will get a full refund if I’m unable to rebook with you.

  • I have a LOT of guests, can you accomodate that?

    Currently, my setup can accomodate a maximum guest count of 225. However, if you have a larger guest count than that, I am still able to DJ your wedding. I will need to charge a rental fee of $200 (potentially more if guest count is very high) to compensate for additional speakers.

  • Do you provide dancefloor lighting?

    Yes! My Reception Only and Full Wedding packages include “wash” dancefloor lighting. Wash lights are very powerful lighting units that evenly flood the dancefloor in vibrant colors, syncing up to music for an epic vibe.

  • Are you also an MC? Will you assist in announcements?

    Yes! I have a background in stand up comedy, improv, and hosting. I am extremely comfortable with public speaking and am more than happy to be an MC at your event. Don’t worry, I won’t be attempting stand up at your wedding.

  • Do I need to provide you with music?

    You’re welcome to be as involved in the music curation process as you want! Everything from prelude music, to the last song of the night can be chosen by you. But if you’d rather be hands off and trust my judgement, I’m cool with that as well.

    I typically recommend having about 10 “must play” songs for the dancefloor. This gives me a good idea of what artists & genres I should stick to. If you’re inclined, a “do not play” list can be helpful as well.

    I have several “go-to” playlists for prelude, cocktail hour, and dinner. However, I’m happy to use one that you have provided if you prefer!

  • What kind of music do you mix?

    My personal favorite genres are Hip Hop, EDM, and Pop. However, after DJing dozens of weddings from a wide range of clients. I can confidently say that I’m comfortable mixing any and all genres. From country, to reggaeton, whatever your taste is, I can keep a party going all night!

    Is your music taste all-over-the-place and kind of random? No problem at all! I’ve had clients express concern about their dancefloor being “too many genres.” My perspective is that if it is music that you and your guests enjoy, there’s no such thing as “too random”. It’s an aspect that will make the dancefloor that much more personal to you!

  • Do you have DJ Insurance?

    Yes! I have DJ insurance under RVNA and can provide documentation upon request.

  • Do you provide wireless microphones for ceremony and reception?

    Yes, for both! I have two wireless LAV mics for ceremony, plus a wireless handheld mic as backup.

    For reception, I have two wireless handheld microphones for speeches and announcements.

  • I have a live musician for a portion of my event, can they plug into your speakers?

    Sure thing! I’ve had musicians plug into my equipment before. I would recommend that the musician bring their own gear, just to ensure that they have everything they need, but I’m happy to lend them my speakers and microphones if necessary.
