    I have been reading up on some of the local disc jockeys and their equipment that they bring to their shows. What are you using to dj at your events?

      Samantha,
      Good question, but do not fall into the mine is bigger than theirs trap!!  All my work is done on professional disc jockey equipment hand chosen by me for each component's functionality and quality.  What I use is not something that comes from a Radio Shack store. All of my music is played through cd or a laptop process and delivered through a sound system that I customize for each venue that I will play in to make sure that everything sounds just right.   The more important question should be, "Do you carry replacement equipment?" or "How do you plan for unexpected problems?"  For me, I have gear to replace all of my components being  used at each event and all of my contingency plans are discussed with my clients prior to their event.  You will not find me trying to make you go crazy over my equipment, I am more concerned that you are comfortable knowing the personality and reputation that is behind this company's name.

    Hi, I'm afraid that some of the younger crowd at my wedding will try to request music that might be inappropriate for the day, how can I make sure that doesn't happen?

      Miranda,
      Most professional disc jockies know what is appropriate and what should be left in the cases for a wedding.  One way that I make sure that no music is played that you or your future husband do not want is through my online planning database.  Once a couple has contracted my services for their wedding day, they have access to a planning and music database which includes the ability to make certain songs unavailable for your reception.  I guess the easiest response to your question would be, make sure that you fully discuss your wants and dislikes with your disc jockey.  The last thing you want to have happen is to offend any of your relatives or guests with questionaable music.  I hope this helped!!
