FAQ

There is really no set answer to this question. Many factors affect DJ Man Entertainment’s availability, such as event date, time of the event (afternoon or evening), and on what day of the week your event falls. The general rule is - the sooner the better. At times, DJ MAN ENTERTAINMENT books events as far as two years in advance, with weddings generally booked anywhere from 6 months to 18 months in advance. At other times, you may be able to book with much less notice, however we don't recommend waiting too long. The further in advance you attempt to book your event, the more likely DJ MAN ENTERTAINMENT will be available.

Checks, money orders and/or cash payments of the balance due will be accepted up to the start of the event. Credit cards payments can be paid on our website through Paypal.com. Payments made through Paypal must be received before the event date. We will also accommodate any clients who prefer to make several payments over the time period leading up to their event. In this case, we credit your account balance for any payments received and issue you a receipt for such payments.

Music selection is usually based on three factors. First, you have the opportunity to tell us what you want to hear and if there is anything that you don't want to hear. This gives us the overall framework for the event. From there, your guests' requests help determine some of the music selection. Lastly, the deejays rely on experience to fill in the event's playlist, based on the crowd's reactions and responses throughout the event.

DJ Man Entertainment uses top quality equipment, which is maintained according to our strict maintenance schedule. For this reason, it is highly unlikely that anything would break or fail to operate properly. However, DJ Man Entertainment deejays carry backup equipment to each performance. In the unlikely event there is a problem, the backup or replacement equipment can be in place in a matter of seconds, normally without the client even realizing there was a "problem".

In many industries, there are requirements or certifications that business must meet before servicing customers. The reason for this is to protect the consumer and ensure that the business is being operated legally and in a safe manner. Unfortunately, there are no such standards to guarantee a professional DJ. Full-time, professional companies, like DJ Man Entertainment, take steps to ensure their long-term success as well as the well being of their clients. For example, a true professional DJ will have liability insurance and equipment insurance to safeguard against any unforeseen circumstances. True pros will also carry backup equipment to every event in case of an equipment breakdown. In most cases, the cheap (or inexperienced) DJ either doesn't care enough about their clients or is financially unable to provide their clients the same assurance and protections. In many cases, the adage "You get what you pay for" still applies.

Caution: The entertainment is most often one of the smallest expenses of a special event. Yet it most likely has the biggest effect on the overall enjoyment of you and your guests. Those who set out to find the cheapest rate possible set themselves up for disappointment. Whether you're spending $1,000, $5,000, $10,000 or $100,000 on your special day, ask yourself if you're willing to gamble with an inexperienced, uninsured, part-time DJ who may use shoddy equipment and offers you and your guests no protection or guarantees?
