Your questions, answered.

DJ Services

How soon should I hire a DJ before my event?

It varies, most of our wedding clients book us about 6-12 months prior to their wedding; however, we have many clients that book a few months or weeks before their event.

Do you play requests?

Short answer, yes! We work with our clients to select the music that their guests will enjoy. We develop a customized song sheet for each event. The customized song sheet consists of popular songs from 6 different music categories which is selected with input and advice from the bride and groom. Additionally, we bring our entire music library of over 40,000 songs for your guests to select from. We find that most successful events are when the guests have an opportunity to make requests.

Can I bring my own music?

Yes, we are happy to play special request music if you provide an MP3. However, we often find that we have the requested song in our music library. If the song is available for purchase we also will purchase it.

How many songs are played at a typical event?

This varies depending on the other planned activities. There are usually about 14-18 songs played per hour.

Will the DJ act as an emcee?

For most weddings, we act as an emcee. On occasion, the bride and groom request a friend or family member to act as emcee.

How will the DJ’s be dressed?

Our DJs dress appropriately for each event. For most weddings, the DJ(s) will be in a black tuxedo vest and black tie.

How many DJ’s will be at my event?

For most events, we have 2 DJs. We do this for several reasons. In case one DJ is ill or there is an emergency, we want to make sure your event will continue as planned. Also, we have found we are able to provide better service to our clients with 2 DJs.

Are you insured?

Yes, Music Mix Entertainment carries a full liability insurance policy.

What is your payment policy?

We accept cash, checks, or credit card payment on our website by Square. We require a $50 deposit to hold your date at the time of contract and the balance is due prior to your event.

Do you use professional sound equipment? How does it look setup?

We use professional sound equipment by industry leaders such as QSC, Denon, Apple, Shure, Mackie, and JBL. We also use professional and event appropriate lighting equipment by American DJ & Chauvet. We have backup sound equipment on-site for each event.

What type of music do you play?

We play a variety of music based on client and guest requests. We have music from all genres including the top hits from today. See the music list for a sample.

Are you available to play ceremony music if needed?

Yes, we can play ceremony music. The cost is included in the rate unless it requires a second set-up. A nominal fee is charged for a second set-up.

Do you have references?

We send out an evaluation after each event and share those with potential clients. Many of those clients have also agreed to talk with potential clients. Please let us know if you would like to see the evaluation or a reference list.

Photo Booth

How many hours should I rent the photo booth for?

It varies. We often recommend 2 hours if you have less than 150 guests; and 3 hours if you have more than 150 guests.

What is included in the photo booth rental?

Our standard photo booth rental includes a host, unlimited 2x6 prints, customized welcome screen, personalized name or logo on prints, mini guestbook, USB drive with all of images, images hosted online for 3 months, large variety, and fun assortment of props, various backgrounds. There are also additional enhancements available for an additional fee. Visit our photo booth page for more information.

Our event is outdoors, can the booth be set up outdoors?

Yes, however, we do not recommend it. There are often issues with glare and depending on the outside temperature it could affect the equipment. We recommend an indoor location. If it has to be outside, we require a covered area.

How much space is needed for the photo booth? Is there anything else our venue needs to provide?

When the booth is setup as a booth it is 5ft x 5ft and 8 feet high. The controls and space needed for the host we usually ask for an 8x8 space. There is also a need for a prop table and a high top table for the guest book. The booth also needs to be within 5 feet of an electrical outlet.

Does the time I reserve include setup time?

The time you reserve is operating time for both the photo booth and dj services. You are not charged for setup or tear down time.

Does the contracted time have to be continuous?

This is what we call idle time. If we are the DJ at the event, we can split the time up. If you’re booking just the photo booth service, there is a $50 an hour charge for idle time.
