Yes. You do not pay for setup or load-out time. Depending on the location and set up difficulty, we typically arrive 1-1.5 hours prior to the start time. Should your plans require a much earlier set up time, a small charge may be negotiated. Equipment is set up and the sound is checked long before your first guest arrives. For nearly every event, this is on our time.
Our services are truly uninterrupted and non-stop. From the scheduled start to end time, the music is continuous. The entire event is carefully managed per your input in our pre-party planning. This will insure a smooth flow of activity and remove any hidden stress factor.
Absolutely! In the pre-event planning, your choices and preferred music format is most important. We plan the flow of songs to enhance the various elements of your event. Through many years of experience I have learned that keeping the atmosphere happy and the dance floor moving is influenced by many factors. This includes not only the music played, but also the order and style in which the songs are mixed together. Your preferences and selections are always given the highest priority!
You may provide a list of "must play" songs and a list of "play if possible" songs. All music is carefully selected to create a smooth flow of events building the perfect atmosphere you have planned for.

Yes. This is very important to assuring your enjoyment at your party. I am careful to avoid any selections that could be considered beyond the limits of good taste. Any preferences you have will be honored.
My present library contains well over 60,000 songs and is continually updated. This includes the very best of good dance music, including: Rock, Rhythm & Blues (R&B), Funk, Top 40, Hip Hop, Disco, Reggae, Salsa, Latin, Alternative, Country, Swing, Big Band, Irish, Polka, Hawaiian, Italian, Ethnic, Cajun, Carolina Beach and Oldies. Your event is personalized to be the celebration of a lifetime.
We have over 60,000 songs in our library. This encompasses the widest variety of hits from the 1930s to the present. If a selection is not in our current library, we will acquire if it is available. You're welcome to provide special music on CD to be played. In our planning phase, simply indicate which songs you wish to provide.
One of the greatest complaints about bands and DJs alike is that they play the music too loud. We believe this should never happen! I always control the volume to meet the needs of the event with the accuracy and skill of a trained engineer and musician. The speakers are positioned for proper sound coverage to allow the music to be powerful enough for dancing and yet comfortable for conversation throughout the rest of the room.
Some venues or events may require additional sound reinforcement. We size the sound system to fit the occasion. Your music is presented in all the fullness and depth of a live concert. The audio quality is simply, ‘extraordinary’.
Your special event could very well be one of the most memorable days of your life. In recognition of this fact, I use state-of-the-art equipment of the highest quality available. Yet understanding ‘Murphy’s Law’ essential backup equipment is always on-site to insure you enjoy a remarkable party.
We would never invite a potential client to your celebration for obvious reasons. However if working a public event your would be more than welcome to drop in. Occasionally a ballroom may be visable from outside so please call to discuss.
Yes. I often travel to other cities and resort locations. For distances greater than one hour drive time, there may be a small but reasonable fee for the additional hours to drive to that location. Some locations may require overnight lodging and a fee for this would be included.
Simply put...the sooner the better! Often popular dates can and do book as early as a year in advance. Our suggestion is be prepared to sign an agreement as early as 4-18 months before the event. A timely decision can ensure our availability. However, some dates remain open until a month before. So, if you're planning an event for next month, please ask if that date may be available.

Absolutely. Our written agreement is straightforward and written in plain English so that you can understand the terms.

Tipping/gratuity is not mandatory but often clientele recognize the extensive effort and service delivered by Pro Wedding Entertainment and may tip the performer.

This is certainly your option. For a normal 4-hour event (Including load-in and load-out time) we could be in that location up to 8 hours. Should you plan to provide a meal for the DJ, that kindness is warmly appreciated.
If you plan to provide a dinner, please let us know in advance so that other arrangements are not made.
We suggest that you not include me in your count, as in most cases there is a guest absent or extra food prepared.
