    Answers to Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I use SOUNDfx ENTERTAINMENT Disc Jockey Service instead of a band or multi-system DJ company? 
    Reliability - Our Professional DJ service has less staff to rely on to show up and provide an optimum performance while bands tend to have many different members, any of which may be chosen to perform at the time of your event. 
       
    Variety - The larger the guest list, the wider variety of music is needed.  Live bands are usually limited to what they can play well and no band will have the flexibility a DJ has in music selection.  You also have the benefit of having songs performed by the original artists, rather than another band’s interpretations.  SOUNDfx ENTERTAINMENT's vast music library can keep any crowd happy and on the dance floor. 
       
    Dancing - People love to dance to the music they are familiar with. SOUNDfx ENTERTAINMENT plays the original versions of your favorite music. 
       
    Cost - Fewer personnel at your affair can mean lower cost to you. SOUNDfx ENTERTAINMENT provides one Disc Jockey at all events that will entertain using your favorite music at a reasonable rate. 
       
    Sound - A Professional DJ can tailor the sound level much easier than a live band.  SOUNDfx ENTERTAINMENT plays appropriate music at low levels during cocktails and meals to allow your guests to chat comfortably.  Music will typically be played somewhat louder during dancing, but this is totally at your discretion.  We also use powerful equalization techniques to adjust our sound system to the reception room, making the sound pleasing to you and your guests. 
       
    Participation - Professional DJ's tend to offer more activities than bands.  We will lead your guests in various games, contests, specialty dances, etc., all to encourage more active participation for the enjoyment of your guests.

    No Breaks
    - Because of the nature of their performance, bands must usually take breaks every 45 to 60 minutes, which leaves you without music, or perhaps with generic house music for 15 to 30 minutes.  SOUNDfx ENTERTAINMENT plays continuous music throughout your party, from beginning to end!

How will the DJ Dress? 

    Your DJ will always dress in a full tuxedo unless specified by you!

What do the hosts need to provide?  Do you need a banquet table?

    We require a single 20-Amp electrical outlet. That's it!

What type of Audio & Lighting equipment will SOUNDfx ENTERTAINMENT use?  

    SOUNDfx ENTERTAINMENT does not cut corners when it comes to equipment.  We use only top-notch professional lighting and sound systems.  Inferior equipment, often used in an effort to cut costs, can result in static, inadequate bass, distortion, and generally poor sound.  Computer controlled lights and colorful effects can give the dance floor a positive "festive" feeling.

Do you have backup equipment?

    Yes...with us at all times!

Do you have a wireless microphone? And do you charge extra for it?

    We include a wireless microphone as part of our main sound systems at no additional charge.

What type of music will be played at my affair?  

    SOUNDfx ENTERTAINMENT plays music with tremendous mass appeal, as well as requests made by your guests.  On the planning sheets, you can indicate specific requests, and what types of music you feel are appropriate (and also what types are inappropriate) for your party.  Your DJ will use the information from those sheets along with their professional judgment in selecting music, and in honoring or declining specific requests.

How much do you charge? 

    Our prices vary based on the requested number of hours for music and the location of the event.  We do not charge extra for our setup time, consultations, holidays, or the number of guests attending.

What if I want to determine the song list and my guests don't enjoy the selections?

    It is our goal to make your wedding as satisfying to you as we can, this usually means making your day special to your guests as well.  Our experience has been that tastes in music are as unique as each individual and therefore we cannot guarantee the likes or dislikes of every individual at your event.  We are seasoned and experienced enough to read an audience and adapt musical presentations to suit the preferences of your guests while remaining consistent to your wishes.

What if I request music that SOUNDfx ENTERTAINMENT doesn't own?   

    Our music collection is one of the largest around, and does include most usual requests.  However, if you give us an advance request for music that we don't have, we'll try to arrange to have it in time for your affair.  The further in advance we receive the request, the more likely we'll be able to get it.  This service is offered at no extra charge, but we do reserve the right to limit the number of selections requested specifically for your party.

Are you insured?

    We carry both liability and theft insurance.
