Professional DJ Services Frequently Asked Questions

I am very professional and I understand your needs to make your event a success. We discuss the details of your function and agree on music and style beforehand. Thus, you can rest assured that my execution will be as you planned. I am very flexible with your music selection and I'm open to requests and suggestions. Most of all I always strive to make you party fun and full of dancing.

To get things moving, it is best to fill out the on-line form which includes some of the main details about your event. I will then contact you to set-up a meeting which will serve for both of us to learn more about your needs and my service. You will have an option to decide, then or later, on whether or not to use my service. There is never any pressure to do so. Upon your decision, I will generate a service agreement and with a small deposit you will have me booked for your party. I will give you a couple of forms to fill out pertaining to the evening's main points which is then returned to me a few weeks before the big date. We also set-up a follow-up meeting to go over your final music selections and the itinerary.

I provide you with an opportunity to pick a short list of your priority songs (outside of the main dances such as "1st Dance" etc.) and I also encourage you to list any other music that you would like to be incorporated into the evening, While I will make sure to play from your "priority" list I will use the additional list of music you provided as a guide. This allows me to apply my experience and creativity to make the most of your dancing.

For all formal events an appropriate tux jacket and shirt is standard but you're free to suggest the most appropriate attire for your DJ.

Chances are that I have your songs in my 100,000+ song library. If however, I need to locate a song I will do my best. On occasion I ask the client to provide their hard to find songs.

I work with a number of other DJs if my availability is limited. Any DJ that I recommend for the job is at least as experienced (and probably) even more fun than me.

My basic package consists of 5 hours of music. This can be customized and extended depending on your needs. Shorter time packages are on per case basis.

Yes. It is the best opportunity to learn what your needs are and for you to learn more about my services. The meeting is at no-obligation to book me or any other of our DJs.

I specialize in Polish-American weddings and other events. I speak both languages fluently and I offer a huge library of music appealing to both Polish and American audiences. However, this is not limited to just these types of groups. I have vast esperience catering music to groups form other ethnic backgrounds and combinations thereof.

Yes. The last thing I would want to do is play a song that is offensive or not liked by you or your guests.

Yes. I provide all sound, lighting, and back-up equipment.

While the standard lighting package, consisting of intelligent (programmable) light fixtures, illuminates the dancefloor very beautifully, you can upgrade to almost anything you want that will fit within the confines of the room and your budget. I can offer concert-like lighting effects and visual projections. The latest "hot" effect is LED uplighting, which creates an alternate look of the room with beautiful changing or static colors, is also available. If you are looking to do a video montage or slide-show presentation I also offer projector rentals.

We usually need at minimum of 2 hours for setup. Tables are not needed as all equipment rests on our professional stands.

No. The typical space reserved for DJs or bands is adequate.

I do have a small and elegant sign displayed in front of my console. It does not interfere with the look of the room.

I emcee all important and essential parts of the evening such as bridal introductions, first dances etc. Overall however, I let the music "do the talking" but your guests are reminded throughout the night that a professional live DJ is behind the controls. I keep it very balanced.

Unless your guests have a "no dance" policy it is very unlikely that there would be no or very few people dancing. But when necessary, a change of music direction with an appropriate announcement usually does the trick.

I, like other vendors, customarily take a break for a meal with your guests. During that time music is playing and I am in close vicinity to make any changes to the repertoire.

Yes. The music is always playing.

I work with a number of DJs and in the unlikely event that I am not available to perform arrangements will be made for a replacement.

No.

For events within the Chicagoland area there are no travel charges added. For more remote locations prices are established accordingly.
