1. How many wedding
receptions have you performed at ?
a. As of January 2010, I have performed at over 400 wedding
receptions.
2. May I see you
perform at a wedding reception?
a. No. My policy is to NOT allow viewing of my services at
wedding receptions or other private functions. It would be unfair
and unethical of me to allow a stranger to "pop-in" and watch even a
few minutes of their big day. It would give the impression that I
care more about the "next sale" rather than the party in front of
me. I would much rather lose a booking than allow my services to be
compromised at ANY private function.
3. How much do you
charge?
a. Hard to answer without knowing about your wedding first.
I'm not being evasive, just
truthful. Anyone that simply packages their service to your could be
selling you short. I will tell you that
my wedding reception rates start at $799
for 4 hours in Greater Tampa during Saturday afternoon.
I provide many more
services above and beyond the typical DJ service. I have attempted
to explain the service that I provide for you and hopefully this
will give you a better understanding of why I charge what I do.
4.
Why are you so expensive?
a. For the level of service I provide, I am considered very well
priced.
Consider that Jim Casey Entertainment is actually a division of my
business called myfloridadiscjockey.com, LLC. All of the divisions are wedding
related so that I may keep up to date with trends and help my future
clientele even more.
In other words, I am a
Full-Time Professional. This is how
I make my living. 90% of DJs in this country are Part-Time
Hobbyists.
5.
Are you limited to only 4 or 5 Hours because you have another
wedding?
a. NO! The venue dictates the time allotted for a wedding reception.
I will generally play only ONE EVENT PER DAY. This assures you that
the quality of Disc Jockey Services you will receive from me will be
at the highest level.
6.
Are you a "High Strung DJ"? or Do you make yourself the "Center of
Attention"??
a. Another way to word this question is "are you an obnoxious DJ
that does nothing but play games, use props, or make a spectacle of
myself"? The answer is NO!
I will customize your event to your needs, I will motivate only when
the time is appropriate, while not intentionally making a spectacle
of myself. I am NOT the center of attention, YOU are. If you do want
games and props, I certainly do offer them.
7. How early do you arrive prior to a wedding reception?
a. My arrival time is guaranteed to be 30-60 minutes prior to the
contracted start music time You are never charged for this except if
there is any extra time required outside of 60 minutes (i.e. the
venue requires someone to be setup 4 hours early) will be charged a
nominal early set-up fee of $100 per hour (rounded to next hour).
8.
What do you wear to a wedding reception?
a. I will always dress in appropriate attire according to the event
and your wishes. For weddings and school proms, I will always be
dressed in a tuxedo unless otherwise requested.
9.
I've heard horror stories of drunk DJs, DJs that smoke like a
chimney. Do you do either of those??
a. ABSOLUTELY NOT! It is truly the act of an unprofessional DJ to
smoke and/or drink while on the job. In fact, even off the job I do
NOT smoke or DRINK!
I'm sure you have more questions
than this. Call me toll-free at (888) MY-FLA-DJ for more information.
