It depends on how much setup is involved. For most events we arrive 2 hours before the scheduled start time. For larger setups we most likely will need to arrive earlier. We can arrange setup times directly with our clients to ensure proper load in.

Absolutely! We encourage all of our clients to provide us with any suggestions or songs they would like to have played at the event. We also suggest a “Do not play” list which would name songs, artists or genres that we will not play at your event.

Yes! Unless you’d prefer we did not allow your guests to make requests. We always use our discretion as to if the request is appropriate and timed properly. We want to be careful as to not to disrupt the flow of music by just taking open requests. Music on any do not playlists does not get played regardless of whether a guests requests it or not.

In most cases yes. We provide master of ceremonies for events and our involvement in this can be adjusted based on how interactive you would like the DJ to be vocally. In a high energy, heavily involved event we can provide a separate master of ceremonies and the DJ would provide only the music for the event.

We start by sending you a proposal. If all looks good we ask that you’d accept the proposal at the bottom of the page. We then follow by sending you a digital contract that you’d review & e-sign. Lastly we send an invoice for the retainer. 

Yes. As long as the balance is paid in full 10 days before the event your welcome to pay it down or off whenever you’d like.

Yes. At every event a backup sound system is onsite. Our equipment is regularly updated with newer equipment so failure or issues are extremely rare.

In some cases yes. Additional staff may be necessary to assist in setup, breakdown and the overall flow of the event. Please check with us before your event and we can provide you with what staff will be attending.

Do we need to provide a meal for the DJ and other Advanced DJ & Karaoke service?

A meal is greatly appreciated. The DJ & any additional staff are typically at the event hours before and after your event and have limited resources to obtaining a meal.

Yes. Please contact us and we will be happy to schedule a consultation whether it be in person or over the phone.

It is somewhat difficult to meet the DJ at an event since the majority of our events are private and by invitation only. There may be an opportunity for you to visit before these events start to see our setup and equipment but this may be challenging depending on the polices of the venue.

We never require you to tip a member of our staff but it is always greatly appreciated.

Advanced DJ & Karaoke service has other DJ’s in its staff that will be able to assist in an emergency.

If your event were to be canceled by the venue due to poor weather conditions we would work with you to find a mutually agreed upon rain date or we can apply your payment towards another event in the future.
