Quick answers to common questions
Q: How far in advance should I book?
A: We recommend booking 6-12 months in advance, especially for peak wedding season (May-October). However, we often have availability for shorter notice bookings.
Q: Will you play exactly what we want?
A: Absolutely. We start by gathering your must-play and do-not-play lists, then fine-tune them during our planning. You’ll never have to “keep requesting songs all night” – your favorites will be queued and playing. We’ll also suggest extra crowd-pleasers, so everyone stays energized.
Q: What if something goes wrong?
A: Rest assured, we prepare for that. We bring duplicate laptops, extra microphones, and even extra power supply units. If (hypothetically) our DJ can’t make it, we arrange an equally skilled replacement. In other words: no matter what, your music will go on.
Q: How will you keep our guests dancing?
A: We’re master's at reading the room. We'll mix your style with proven hits at just the right moment, adjusting as we go. You’ll never be stuck with awkward silences or an empty dance floor. We also avoid cheesy gimmicks unless you want them.
Q: Do you travel outside the local Chicagoland area?
A: Yes! We will travel anywhere in the United States and some select international locations. Travel fees may apply for venues more than 50 miles from our base location.
Q: Can we meet before booking?
A: 100%. We prefer to meet with you to better understand your vision and to answer any questions you may have.
Q: Do you provide music for the ceremony?
A: Yes, all of our packages include ceremony music.
Q: Can you extend your DJ set if it's not included in my package?
A: Yes, for an additional fee. We're always willing to keep the party going if your guests aren't done dancing. Keep in mind the venue may have restrictions and cut off times, so make sure to check with them as well!
Q: Is there an additional fee for events held in downtown Chicago?
A: Yes, we do charge a negotiable fee. The city of Chicago presents several challenges including parking, venue access, and strict vendor protocols.
