Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book a DJ?
We recommend booking at least 4-6 weeks in advance for most events, and 6-12 months ahead for weddings during peak season (May through October). Popular dates fill quickly, so the earlier you reach out, the better your chances of securing your preferred date.
Do you take song requests during events?
Absolutely! We offer a live song request system that lets your guests request songs digitally during the event. You can also provide a must-play and do-not-play list in advance to ensure the music fits your vision perfectly.
What size events can you handle?
We have sound systems appropriate for intimate gatherings of 20 people up to large events of 500+. During the booking process, we’ll discuss your venue size and guest count to ensure we bring the right equipment for crystal-clear sound at every volume level.
Do you provide lighting as well?
Yes! Every DJ package includes professional lighting. We offer LED uplighting, dance floor effects, moving head lights, and atmospheric effects. For premium lighting packages, we can transform your venue with custom color schemes and advanced lighting design.
What genres do you play?
Everything! Our library spans country, pop, rock, hip-hop, R&B, EDM, classic hits from the 60s-90s, Latin, jazz, and more. Darrell is skilled at reading the crowd and mixing genres to keep the energy high. You always have final say on what gets played at your event.
