FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Here are some of the most popular questions from the hundreds of weddings and event clients we have served.

How long have Fresno DJ Company been DJing?
 

We believe your wedding deserves more than an inexperienced DJ. At Fresno DJ Company, our DJs bring years of training and expertise to your special day. We are committed to continuous professional development, holding weekly meetings to stay current with the latest trends. Your wedding, one of the most important days of your life, should be in the hands of seasoned professionals. When you book with Fresno DJ Company, you can trust that you’re receiving top-quality service and unparalleled experience.

What DJ equipment do you use?

Poor equipment is the hallmark of an amateur event or wedding DJ. It’s also not something anyone booking a professional DJ service should have to worry about. But unfortunately, the reality of planning an event is that you need to know your vendor’s professionalism ahead of time. And a DJ is only as good as their gear. They may be the best at mixing music. But if the DJ equipment is an eyesore and their speakers crackle, no one remembers transitions. They remember how the sounds themselves hurt their ears and the DJ set-up was unsightly. That’s why at Fresno DJ Company, we only use cutting-edge equipment. No intrusive wires or busted speakers. Fresno DJ set-ups look as good as they sound.

What if something happens to my DJ?

While it’s by no means normal, occasionally incidents are unavoidable. And a big part of planning your event is having a contingency plan. You don’t want to be left high-and-dry at your reception or corporate retreat, after all. And if your DJ gets a flat tire or is struck by lightning en route to your event, we have a plan. When you book a Fresno DJ Company, you’re getting a Experienced DJ. It’s as simple as that. So we always keep a professional DJ on retainer at each of our locations. That way, in the (unlikely) event that something does happen to your DJ, you’ll still get a professional, experienced, and talented event or wedding DJ. Emergencies may be unavoidable, but that’s no excuse for your event to be music-less. When you book Fresno DJ Co., you know we’ll be there.

Will the DJ take requests?

Fresno DJ Company do take song requests and often play many of them. But we also filter requests we get from guests. So if we get a request for a song or genre that you’ve specified a “Do Not Play,” we won’t play it. But, on the flip-side, if someone requests a song that fits well with your vibe and music choices, the DJ may play it. It’s important to remember that your DJ is an event professional. They know which tracks get the dance floor going and which ones may clear it out. And since Fresno DJs don’t just show up and press play on a pre-made set, we have the flexibility to react to the vibe of the crowd. We also offer an online planning system, so you can specify your tastes and favorite songs before the event. That way there’s no surprises.

Can we bring our own music for the DJ to play?

Absolutely. Working with a professional wedding or event DJ is a partnership. And your DJ should be open to your musical preferences, and flexible enough to accommodate them. With that being said, we usually ask for your music in advance. Effective planning is what makes any wedding or event run smoothly. While not impossible, it is more difficult to add songs we don’t have mid-event. So if we get your tracks beforehand, we can make sure they’re ready to rock on the big day. With our event planning software, we can make sure we have all your requests beforehand. But if inspiration should strike day-of, we’re able to add songs on the spot. That’s how Fresno DJs can be both prepared and flexible.

What are your payment terms?

All we need to get started from you is a deposit. That deposit holds your date and is taken out of the final balance. Then the remaining balance is due two weeks before the event date. We try to make all of the payments as simple as possible. So you’re free to use debit, credit, check, cash to make all of your payments. Click here to contact us for more information on pricing.

Do I tip the DJ?

We do not include gratuity in the final contract price. We also don’t have any hidden fees. 

When should I book my DJ?

A good time frame is at least six months before the event. However, we have DJs available for last minute events as well. Contact us now to check date availability.

Should we feed the DJ?

This is not required in our contract and is completely up to you. We tend to bring our own food and drinks. 

What services do you offer?

We offer everything but our main focus is DJ services for wedding ceremonies and receptions, quinceañeras, sweet 16s, corporate events, private parties, and school functions. We offer Lighting options (Uplighting and Dance Floor Lighting), photo booths, Dancefloors, 360 Video Booths, A/V Media for Bands, Corporate Events, Cold Sparks, Dancing on Cloud, and much more! Contact us for a full list of services! No event is too small or too big! 

How many songs should I request?
You can select songs that you would like to hear at your event (as well as songs you don’t want to hear) through our online planning system. You will receive login information for that system in an email with your contract. The number of songs you request is totally up to you! We recommend giving your DJ at least 10-15 songs of different genres and artists that you would like to hear. A few songs/artists that you don’t want to hear is always helpful as well. If you end up requesting a lot of songs, just keep in mind the time constraints of your event. During your initial consultation, your DJ will ask about your music preferences.
Do you have samples of your DJ’s work?
We have a company Mixcloud page where some of our DJs post original mixes. We do not post any of our wedding or event mixes as each event we do is unique to that client.
