Important Questions Part 2

before we dive back into the questions I am shocked at how many dj websites copied one dj's answer here at 1st djs yes we are copying the questions but answering them for our company and not copying the answers... please be aware of this..


Can we meet with you before we sign the contract?
The short answer is absolutely YES. Hiring the DJ is a very important part of your wedding process. We may ask that we meet halfway but we can certainly facilitate that. However, the reason that the short answer is YES is that a lot of clients are wanting to do a quick search and book. Our business has adapted to that lifestyle. If you want a quick search and book you'll get a fantastic dj and we will use our award winning online planning system, emails, chat sessions, google wave sessions and our pre-wedding or pre-event meeting to match you with a great dj! If you want a meeting beforehand though that is certainly fine. Please see our answer to "Will you be the dj at our wedding" on the previous blog for more on this.

How Long Will you Hold Our Date for Us:
We will hold your date for you for 7 days from the time you enter your information into our system WITHOUT ANY OTHER CONTACT. We will send you a quote within 24 hours once you get that the clock starts, we will reach out to you at least 3 more times and if we don't hear from you after a week we keep your date penciled in for another 7 days if we don't hear from you after that then we drop your date. Now that is just for NO contact.

Once we get in contact with you we will hold your date within reason, need time to talk to your FI or your family, we will certainly allow that. If you are trying to get a deposit together, we will certainly hold that we are very reasonable. With the economy the way that it is we are much more lenient because we know a lot of brides, grooms and event planners are just trying to make ends meet or make the best decision for their money.

We will hold a special rate for you until 5 days after the calendar month ends. Again we're reasonable though so if you have a question or need more time than email or call us

Do you work exclusively for this DJ Company
YES. We don't do subcontracting and we hire our djs to work as employee djs so yes our DJs are exclusive to us. We do allow our djs to work in clubs on days that don't conflict with your date. Our djs are under agreement where our Friday, Saturday and Sunday events prevail on their scheduling conflicts. We ask for their vacation days 6 months in advance and know the New Years Eve availability in February of the previous year. Unless you've paid a premium dj fee to hold a specific dj we don't assign our djs until 4 weeks before so we know that you will get the dj we promise you. In the RARE event that your dj leaves us (we had one get deployed) then one of our management team djs will assume the role as your dj and if need be come to your home or place of choosing to meet with you.

How Experienced are your DJs
Our lead DJs on weddings have had to attend a minium of 50 weddings as an assistant and another 25 as the lead dj with a management team trainer serving as assistant. In our process we will let the client know the options for example, we may tell the bride that we think Scott has a great personality and would do a great job now he's been on 50 weddings as an assistant and 25 as a training lead dj but you're his first full lead wedding. In these cases the Bride and Groom sometimes like it. We're up front with all of these kinds of decisions.


"xxxxx DJ'd my best friends wedding and I want that DJ"
We can certainly do this for you. If your dj isn't already a premium on another event we will lock that particular DJ in for you for a $50 fee (But its good to note we give a $50 referall discount too so it cancels itself out ) then you're locked into that dj. On lots of occassions our djs will come back to the office and tell us "Hey the MOH says she's getting married in November and wants me to do it here's the number" from there we will tie that dj down for you.




And of course there's more questions we'll keep answering them...
