WEDDING STATISTICS & QUESTIONS TO ASK BEFORE HIRING A DJ
*AFTER THE VOWS...
When you have the Band \Vs\ DJ discussion, you need to think about what each has to offer before signing a contract. A New York event-planning firm stated that, "A great DJ is better than a mediocre band any day.
Q. How much do you require for a deposit/retainer?
A. $200.00 is what I require to hold the date for your event. The balance is due seven 7 days prior to your event date. PLEASE NOTE - I only entertain ONE EVENT PER DAY so once a date is secured with a deposit and signed contract, it is no longer open for me to entertain.
Q. Do you offer a Discount if we pay the event in full at the time of booking?
A. YES! You will receive a 10% Discount if you pay for the event in full at the time of booking.
Q. What type of music will you be playing at our event?
A. The music I play is based upon the age of the crowd and on our own professional judgment as well as your personal request. Remember your event isn't the first one I've done! I know what gets people out on the dance floor and of course I will play most reasonable requests that you or your guests may have; also any and all specialty dances for the wedding party are left up to you. You tell me what you want to hear and I play it. It is as simple as that. I will also work with you every step of the way; I will not play anything that you do not want played.

Q. Will you have the most current hit singles?
A. Yes! As stated above, I subscribe to services made exclusively for Mobile DJ Entertainers. Every week we receive the hot new singles on CD usually before they are released to the public, therefore our music library is always up to date. This includes hits from the Adult Contemporary, Rock, Urban, Jazz, Country, Christian and Dance charts!
We also have the latest and greatest Hip Hop Club Remixes so it will be just like the dance clubs. But, as an added bonus, we bring ALL of our music with us, even as far back at the 20’s.
Q. Will I have to sign a contract when booking with Premier DJ Entertainment?
A. Yes, it is always best to sign a contract to protect yourself when booking any vendor. Make sure that you get a signed copy from your DJ as well for your records. I will gladly provide you with a copy of the contract to read before you make your decision as I am committed to you feeling 100% comfortable with the Entertainment company you are hiring. If you have any concerns or questions about the contract, contact me back at anytime. ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOUR DJ OFFERS A CONTRACT.
Q. What type of attire will the DJ be wearing?
A. Every event is different so I allow you tell me how you want me to dress. I can go with the Full Tuxedo down to Tommy Bahama “Island Wear” to High Energy Club Wear to simple Dress Pants & Collared Shirt. No matter what I wear to the event, I will never wear anything offensive or dirty.
Q. What time will the DJ arrive for setup?
A. I ask to be able to arrive at least two (2) hours before the start of your event (Not the start of our services). But 2 hours is usually more than enough time for me to setup our equipment and do a full sound and lighting check. There is no charge for setup or the time that the equipment is not being used. This also allows us the chance to meet with your other vendors to go over the night's program so we can ensure that everyone works together as a team.
Q. Do you provide back-up equipment?
A. Yes I do, we carry a replacement for each piece of sound equipment, everything from extra speakers right down to cables and extension cords, no worries!
Q. Do you accept Tips?
A. If you feel the urge to tip, usually 10-15% is customary. Pay this at the end of the event. You may pay by Cash or Check.
Q. Are you available to play over the scheduled ending time?
A. Yes we can, but it is at the sole discretion at the time of the request. The only way to guarantee a longer time is to book it in advance (Before the event date). If I am available to play over for you, a charge of $75.00 per half hour (30 minutes) will be added and must be paid directly to the DJ at the end of the event by either Cash or Check.
Q. Are you available to Charity Events as well as Civic Organizations & Schools?
A. Yes, Call me 843 450 1773 and we can go over the details of your event.
Q. What is your educational experience?
A. Real professional DJ entertainers train each year or better yet, EVERY DAY. Some use books and on line subscriptions to magazines/websites. Seminars and conventions offer some of the best training with the country's top professionals. These seminars & conventions involve a considerable investment but they offer considerable training and advancement. Premier DJ Entertainment gets involved with all of the above. I have the Books, the Videos and I attend an annual Convention with seminars and classes that show me how to be better. I am an active member of the American DJ Association and that is why my motto is “A Dedication to Entertainment Perfection”.
Q. Do you “sub-contract” out to other DJ’s?
A. We don’t use sub-contractors. I guarantee you 110% that If you book PDJE I will be there at your event.
