Do you take requests from our guests?

Yes, for the most part.  While we make every effort to play the songs requested by your guests, we will not play anything that we consider in poor taste or wouldn't go with the flow of the event.  The DJ will have complete control over his program and has the final decision on any and all program related details such as music, location of DJ Setup, and gear placement.

 

Do you offer a written contract?

Yes.  During the booking process you will receive an email containing a link to all of the paperwork you will need in order to book your DJ.

 

May we meet with you in person before we sign a contract?

Meeting in person is an option, but not necessary.  We conduct business via telephone, email, and our website as well.  We come up with a plan that works for everyone.

Yes!  We like to introduce the wedding party, family members, direct guests during meals, and make any other important announcements needed to keep the flow of the event.

 

How do you keep your music collection up-to-date?

Our DJs stay up to date with the Billboard Charts as well as current events and happenings in the music world.  We only use state-of-the-art software to bring you the best in music.

 

How involved can we be in selecting music for our event?

We would like you to be as involved as you would like to be.  We provide you with the forms you need to choose the songs that fit each aspect of your event.  Please take your time when selecting songs, and feel free to talk to your DJ if you need help in selecting the songs that fit.  Also, we can provide you with a list of recommendations.

 

When do we need to submit our music requests and event details?

Your DJ will go over all of your paperwork with you and provide you with a time frame.  We like to have your paperwork back at least 2 weeks prior to your weddings.  We also accommodate last minute bookings.

 

Can we submit a “Do Not Play” list?

You can do that as well.  We understand there may be certain types of music or songs you absolutely do not want to hear.  We can accommodate that.

We make every effort to arrive to your location ONE HOUR PRIOR to event start time. Please provide us with the name of the contact person whom we will be speaking with upon arrival to the wedding venue.

 

What will you wear to our wedding?

We always attend weddings and formal events wearing a dress suit or the like.  Pictures of our DJ and how he is dressed can be seen on our website.  Extreme weather may be a determining factor in how your DJ will be dressed.  Feel free to discuss any concerns involving dress codes with us.

 

How much of a deposit is required to secure our date?

To book a wedding with Cherished Memories Wedding DJ Services, we require a deposit of 50% of total services rendered to book your date.  We sometimes allow our clients to save a few bucks by making informal payment arrangements or by paying in full.  Talk to your DJ about the payment options that we offer.

Our DJ will require a few things that you’ll need to provide them in order to be successful. These things are listed on the document titled "MUSICIAN'S RIDER."  This rider has been included in your Bridal Registration Packet.

 

Do you take any breaks?

One of the major advantages to using a DJ instead of a band is that a DJ does not need to take breaks, outside of using the restroom and possibly eating a meal quickly and discreetly. If your DJ happens to step out of the DJ both for a moment, the music will be programmed accordingly and it will be as if the DJ had never stepped out.

 

What kind of equipment do you use?

We always DJ with Industry-Standard, Professional quality equipment and software.
