What sets your company apart from others?
Twenty years of experience at more events than any other company in The Bay Area uniquely positions us as the leader in the region.

Who are your Disc Jockeys?
Our company is comprised of seasoned personalities who have an enormous amount of entertainment experience. Their skills are kept sharp by busy event schedules and our ongoing training seminars. Go to our Meet The Staff page for a closer look.

What will the DJ wear?
A classic black tuxedo, unless you request otherwise.

The CEO wants to make a welcome speech, can he use your microphone?
Certainly. We'll even give them a quick lesson.

We have prizes to raffle off during the party. When should we do that and how?
We find that the best way is to make it fun and continuous. Try Let's Make A Deal instead of pulling names. Answering Company Trivia is another idea. Try to give away most prizes before dancing, but save a few to build suspense through the evening.

Will the DJ play my requests?
Absolutely. Contrary to the beliefs of some people, WE KNOW it's your day. Your DJ Will play the songs on the music list that you've highlighted and steer clear of those that you've crossed out. With your permission, they will take your guests requests as well, provided they fit within the music program you've designed.

What if we want to hear a song that's not on the playlist?
Beyond what you see on our music list, we have a master music library that contains more than 1 million songs, virtually everything popular from the Big Band Era to today's Top 40. So, if you don't see a particular selection, call us, there's a good chance that it's in our library.

What does the equipment look like?
You'll be happy to know that we believe in filling the room with sound NOT equipment. Our CD sound systems are attractive, compact and deliver high quality coverage. They include a wireless microphone for all of your presentations and announcements. You will not need to supply cables or tables, only an outlet. Plus, we take the time to hide all of the wires and cables out of site.

We don't want to hear any Christmas music at our holiday party is that a problem?
No. We understand that Christmas music may not be appropriate or desired.

Our cocktail hour is going to be in a separate room from the dinner & dancing. Is that a problem?
No. We suggest that you opt for us to set up a second sound system which allows for uninterrupted music as your co-workers mingle and enjoy hors d'oeuvres.

Do you have back-up equipment?
Yes. We bring plenty of extra gear... just in case.

Do you put up any signs or banners?
No. No Way. Never.

When is the best time to present our years-of-service awards?
During dessert. The room is quiet and the recipients will get the group's full attention.

What if, due to an emergency, my DJ can't make it to the party?
If the DJ is admitted to the hospital with two broken legs and pneumonia, we will send our on-call DJ to your location. Though rarely used, we have a DJ on-call 365 days of the year, just in case. In our twenty year history, we have never missed an event.

Our Annual Picnic will be held in Santa Cruz, do you travel?
Yes. We travel throughout Northern California and charge a reasonable travel fee to locations outside of The Bay Area. There is no travel fee for events held in The Bay Area.

Does the DJ require a meal?
Most per-meal charges are excessive; please do not feel compelled to include the DJ in the meal count, many times the DJ's can "fend for themselves". You may wish to ask your caterer if "vendor meals" are provided.

Is it appropriate to tip the DJ?
The DJ's don't expect a tip. If you feel your disc jockey has delivered exceptional service, a tip will be a pleasant surprise.

We're planning on over 400 guests and most people attending don't know everyone. What can we do to make them all feel comfortable?
Check out our Ice Breakers Page for some terrific ideas on making everyone feel a part of the group.
