Frequently asked Questions

What makes you different than other DJ companies?

YOU! That's right, YOU are the reason we differentiate ourselves from our competition! We work with YOU throughout the entire planning process to make sure YOUR wedding or event is all about what YOU need and want. Everything from having YOU choose the songs that are meaningful to YOU and YOUR guests, all the way to letting YOU decide the wedding or event schedule.

How long have you been a DJ Entertainment Company?

For over 35 years we have had the honor and privilege of serving our clients in the Northern Nevada and Lake Tahoe areas. With our staff's combined experience, we've hosted 1000's of weddings, corporate events, birthday parties, anniversary parties, slot tournaments and much more! If you can think of a reason to have a DJ and music, we can make the make the entertainment exciting and memorable for you and your guests!!!

Will you help me plan my event?

We would love to be part of your event planning!!! To assist you, we provide you an extensive planning tool that will help give you ideas about the format of your event and to allow you to pick the music of your choice.  We also review your event planning form with you prior to your event to make sure you are completely satisfied with the format of your event.  Furthermore, we are very responsive when you do have questions or need help with your event planning and are available to meet with you any time prior to your event.

Do you have a business license?

Yes...not only is it a legal requirement, many of the venues require to see a copy of the license prior to your event. In addition to our state license, we are also required to have business licenses in each county we conduct our DJ business. To give you peace of mind, we highly recommend that you ask your DJ company for a copy of their licenses to insure they are a legitimate, honest and reputable business.

Do you carry liability insurance?

Yes, we absolutely have liability insurance to help mitigate any risks at your event. This is another requirement that many venues have for outside vendors, such as DJ companies, to be able to work at their locations. We also have the ability to list the venue as additional insured and can provide you proof of our insurance for your record.

May we call your references?

References are a major part of the entertainment business. Please let us know if you would like a list of references to contact about how professional and dedicated we are at making your event a memorable and exciting time!

We are having our wedding ceremony and reception at two locations. Can you accommodate?

Definitely! We provide two different sound systems, one for the ceremony site and one for the reception location. 

At the ceremony site we provide a lapel microphone for the officiant to allow your guests to hear your wedding service. We can also provide additional microphones in the event you have readings or musicians playing during your service. Furthermore, our sound system allows us to play ceremony music 30 minutes prior to your service while your guests are arriving and it allows us to play your ceremony music if needed.

At the reception site we have a full set up to make your party fun!!!

Do you use professional gear?

To insure reliable service and a quality presentation we provide the following equipment at receptions and events: 15 inch EV powered speakers that have superior quality sounds in the high, medium and low ranges; an Alienware laptop with thousands and thousands of songs for you to choose from; a Samsung tablet that gives you access to virtually any song you can imagine and works as our back-up system; a Numark mixer to allow for a proper balance in sound and for your hearing pleasure; professional lights for dancing;  a Sennheiser handheld, wireless microphone that can be used for toasts and speeches; and a facade to give a polished, professional appearance at your event.

​What types of payments do you accept?

For your convenience, we accept all major credit cards, money orders, checks and cash.

Do you allow requests?

Since your event is all about you and your guests, it is your choice whether you want us to take requests. We will read your crowd to make sure we are playing music your party enjoys on the dance floor. We will also make sure we play music that is appropriate for your occasion.

Are there websites that show your clients' reviews?

Reading reviews is a very important step in picking a DJ company that is right for you.  We recommend visiting reliable sites such as: YelpWeddingWire, Google Reviews, and Facebook. By visiting these sites, you have assurance the reviews are actually written by our clients and not by us.

Do you belong to any professional associations?

For us, it's very important being involved in Wedding and DJ Entertainment associations. By being part of these various associations, we are able to constantly learn new trends and solutions, network and share ideas to ultimately help you with your event! We belong to several associations that we have listed at the bottom of our webpage. Please feel free to reach out to them for references about our DJ company.
