DO YOU USE STANDARD PLAYLISTS FOR ALL OF YOUR EVENTS?
The short answer...no. We acknowledge and love the fact that every event is different and therefore has its own unique needs.

That's why we customize every detail. It's all about you!

CAN WE CHOOSE THE MUSIC THAT WILL BE PLAYED AT OUR WEDDING / EVENT?
Absolutely! We believe in making your special day all about you. We have one goal and that is to provide a great experience, providing customized music selections based on your preferences. You have as much control of the music selection as you would like. Some of our clients prefer to choose the majority, if not all of the songs they want to have played; while others leave everything up to us. The majority of the time, it is a combination of both. We collect the specific song requests you have and fill in the rest with what we believe will make your event exactly what you want.

WHAT IS YOUR POLICY ON THE DJ'S INTERACTION WITH OUR GUESTS DURING THE EVENT?

That's just not our style.
