Can we choose the music to be played at our event?

You’ll be amazed at how flexible we are when it comes to music selection!\

That’s because our experience has taught us that keeping the dance floor packed is influenced by many factors, including the order and style in which the songs are played, the way songs are mixed together, and DJ interaction.

We’ve had clients that have chosen every song for the entire event and others that have left the music selection completely up to us. Our recommendation is to provide us with a list of “must play” songs and list of “play if possible” songs. This will leave plenty of room for requests from your guests and DJ selections.

You may also stipulate that we not take requests from your guests, that’s completely up to you. We will try to accommodate requests that fit into your guidelines and the time that we have to play them.

Most importantly, have fun and select music you want to hear and dance to. After all, it’s your event!

Can we have a "do not play" list?

Your “do not play” list is equally important or more important than the “request list” itself!

Rest assured that if a guest requests a song that is on your “do not play” list, it will not be played. Please keep in mind that your taste in music will most likely differ from that of your guests.

Do you hang any banners or other advertisements?

Absolutely not! We respect your efforts to provide a beautiful setting for your reception. We will never attempt to make your event an advertising campaign for our company.

While we appreciate referral business, we feel our services speak for themselves.

Do you provide a contract?

Absolutely. Our contract is straight forward and written so that you understand the terms before signing.

With the contract you can be assured that there will be no hidden extra charges or surprises at your event.

The signed contract and first payment officially reserves your date. You will receive a copy with all signatures for your records.


If you have any questions or concerns about the terms, just ask!

What are the payment terms of your services?

The first payment of 50% along with a signed contract will secure our services.  A payment schedule will be determined based on the services provided.

Do you accept gratuities?

Fantastic DJs & Photo Booth accepts gratuities and they are welcome if you are satisfied and we have exceeded your expectations with our DJ services.

Do you take breaks?

Very seldom. From the moment we arrive at your reception site until the moment your guest and you dance the last dance, we will be working and paying attention to your reception!

Will there be additional charges for set-up and break-down?

All packages include set-up and break-down; there will be no surprise charges at the end of your reception!

Will you work with our wedding coordinator and/or vendors?
