Frequently Asked Questions Regarding DJ Policies and Procedures





Q. Does The Music Man DJ Service make a contract with their clients?

Q. Does The Music Man DJ Service make a contract with their clients?

             The Music Man DJ Service offers a free consultation previous to your event where we can go through your needs and desires for your special night. A contract is created to protect both parties and to make the event official.

 
Our Mission Statement

Q. Why are prices so different when it comes to different disc jockeys?

Q. Why are prices so different when it comes to different disc jockeys?

            
When it comes to pricing, there is much to consider for hiring a disc jockey. You should find out from your DJ if his price includes a light show, microphone use, dinner music, master of ceremonies work, length of play time as well as other things such as how many songs the DJ has and the quality of their equipment. Experience, expenses and expertise also help to determine the cost of a DJ. Many DJ’s who are just starting off will keep their price as low as possible to try to acquire a few clients to “practice” on. If you’re serious about having a professional who will do a good job, you should try to avoid choosing a DJ based on price alone.

             The ideal scenario would be to hire a DJ who owns his own company so in that case you know he will be more experienced and professional than for say, a part time employee who just DJ’s as a hobby for a company.

             The Music Man DJ Service offers an interactive light show, master of ceremonies services, dinner music, wired and wireless microphone use, fog effects, free overtime as well as a night of entertainment! Our +15,000 songs are brought to EVERY event and our equipment consists of high quality American DJ products as well as Fender speakers, heavy duty cabling and Shure microphones. We offer top service at very fair prices. All these extra features come at NO extra cost!

 
Our Mission Statement

Q. What kind of music do you play?

Q. What kind of music do you play?

            
The Music Man DJ Service offers many types of genres for our clients to select from based upon their needs. We are able to do a traditional format and cover some of the bigger hits that always seem to give good results or we are able to use a custom format where you are able to choose what you want to hear throughout the night. One of our specialties is knowing how to appeal to mixed aged crowds.

             Some of our categories are as follows:
Alternative, big band, Christian, classic rock, country, dance, dinner, disco, folk, hip hop, holiday, Italian, jazz, Latino, metal, musicals, Motown, oldies, pop, r & b, rap, reggae, rock, salsa, slow set, soft rock, techno, top 40

 
Our Mission Statement

Q. Do you play requests?

Q. Do you play requests?

            
We do play requests throughout the night or unless otherwise specified. Requests are ordered in a format that will flow smoothly with the music in a logical sequence or if appropriate, first come, first serve.
             There is a company policy in place not to play profanity that would offend people attending your special event.

 
Our Mission Statement

Q. Do I have to worry about any hidden charges that come up?

Q. Do I have to worry about any hidden charges that come up?

             
No, the price quoted covers the total cost of entertainment for the evening provided by The Music Man DJ Service including tax. There are no extra traveling charges within Essex County going as far as London, Ontario. Optional features such as an interactive light show, fog, Master of Ceremonies services, wireless microphone use, dinner music and a complimentary meeting to coordinate your event are all included at no extra cost. Most DJ companies will charge extra for all of these features. Our price also includes no extra overtime charges for events up to 1:30am. Other plans such as a meal for the DJ are optional and can be discussed individually per client.

 
Our Mission Statement

Q. What type of events do you specialize in?

Q. What type of events do you specialize in?

             
The Music Man DJ service specializes in weddings, Italian weddings, Christmas and other holiday parties, school dances, birthdays, anniversaries, corporate events and any party that requires new, up-to-date music as well.
             We are good at parties that involve mixed age groups as well as parties that require a fun, creative DJ to get involved with the crowd. We have handled many other types of unique events as well and are qualified to do so.

 
Our Mission Statement

Q. How much experience do you have?

Q. How much experience do you have?

             
I, Rob Salvati, as the head and founder of The Music Man DJ Service have been in business since July of 2001. The Music Man DJ Service has come a long way in developing a standard system of operation, organization and function as well as establishing unique traits and qualities that separate us from other DJ companies.
             Previous to The Music Man, I worked and trained under Kim Owens with Owens and Company DJ Services for 2 years, formerly Son of Man Entertainment
. There I was able to learn many skills to transform The Music Man DJ Service into what it is today.
             I have also created alliances with other companies such as Dynamic Sound where we have been able to combine expertise to raise the quality of service in the DJ industry as well as maintain my alliance with Owens and Company.

 
Our Mission Statement

Q. What happens if an emergency came and you had to cancel at the last minute?

Q. What happens if an emergency came and you had to cancel at the last minute?

             
If there was ever a time where we were already booked with a contract drawn up for a specific day where we were not able to make it for some dire reason (which has never happened before), not to fear, the Canadian DJ Association is here. Backup DJ’s are always on call and willing to help through the CDJA. The Music Man DJ Service would hand over your event to a “trusted” professional who was selected based on our own standards and expectations of a professional DJ.
             Some companies would try to turn down an event for a higher paying customer that comes along. You never have to worry about that with us. Once a contract is in place and set for a certain date, your event is secured.

 
Our Mission Statement

Q. How long are your breaks?

Q. How long are your breaks?

            
There are no breaks during the dancing. The music is always continuous and “the show must go on”! In the case of an emergency, I would have the next song ready and make sure there was enough time to be back before the end of the current song.

 
Our Mission Statement

Q. What happens if by the end of the night, the crowd is having too much fun partying and says “let there be music”?

Q. What happens if by the end of the night, the crowd is having too much fun partying and says “let there be music”?

           
  No problem, The Music Man DJ Service would always be willing to play for a small extension of time at no extra cost. We wouldn’t just “cut your night off” and pack up unless informed to do so. Generally speaking, banquet halls will cut events off at 1:00am, some more strict than others. We are more than willing to play until 1:30am if the crowd is still not ready to go home!

             If you wish for your event to go later than 1:30 am however, there may be a small hourly charge. You should ask any future prospect DJ ahead of time what their company policy is. Some companies are flexible with this while other DJ companies only include 4 hours of standard service and charge anywhere from $50 to $150 hourly for events beyond 4 hours.

 
Our Mission Statement

Q. What types of things do you do to “pump your crowd up”?

Q. What types of things do you do to “pump your crowd up”?

            
There are many things I can do to pump up the crowd. Anywhere from leading certain group dances like the hustle, cha cha slide or a conga line to using my wide array of props to interact with the crowd. I have been known to put on different wigs for specifically related songs but I like to feel the crowd out to figure out what they will respond best to. Sometimes I will even give props out for use as long as they are returned.
             Another thing I like to do is to talk on the mic at appropriate points while I’m performing and interact with the crowd to get them involved in certain songs. One example would be during the all so popular Shania Twain song “I feel like a woman”, I will talk to the girls before the hook and get them to say it out loud. It all depends though on the type of people there. Different things appeal to different people and I am very flexible and versatile with my creativity.

 
Our Mission Statement

Q. What is the total capacity of people you are able to play for?

Q. What is the total capacity of people you are able to play for?

            
As a guideline, a standard event can be anywhere as small as 50 people to events totalling up to 1500 people. There is no hall I have come across where sound has ever been a problem. An average event consists of roughly 200 guests for a wedding reception but may vary. We are able to perform both outdoors and indoors and the more guests, the merrier. Having more people means that the dance floor will be full!

             With larger public parties, you may want to consider having some sort of security there to ensure no disturbances arise. It’s just something to consider and is completely up to the individual.

 
Our Mission Statement

Q. How do we know we’re getting a professional DJ who takes our special event seriously?

Q. How do we know we’re getting a professional DJ who takes our special event seriously?

            
As the founder of my company, I take my work very seriously. My main concern when performing at your event is to give everyone a great night, exceed your expectations and take the pressure off my customers so that you have no worries.
You can relax in knowing that the night’s success is as  important to me as it is to you, if not more.
             I come to your event organized, on time and dressed well. You can be at ease knowing that The Music Man DJ Service is not just a basement company trying to make a few bucks on the side. We are a registered & licensed business and when you hire The Music Man, you hire a professional throughout the entire event of your night. Be at ease in knowing that your DJ would never become intoxicated at your event.
             My personal goal as a disc jockey is to raise the standards for DJ’s in my surrounding area and establish a reputable and successful business that will well-establish the expectations of hiring a professional DJ.
