1. What is included in the price of
booking Celebrity DJ?
When you book Celebrity DJ, not only
do you get a professionally trained disc jockey and emcee for your
special day but you also get all the special effects lighting. Also
included for no extra charge in your booking is set up and tear down
time. Celebrity DJ arrives 60-90 minutes before every event to
insure that everything is set up properly and running smoothly.
You will also receive a small token
of our appreciation for allowing us to be a part of your special
day. This gift is a custom made CD with “musical highlights” from
your wedding reception like your first dance song, father/daughter
dance, bouquet toss song, etc
Lastly, when you book with Celebrity
DJ, you get unlimited consultations. The reason we do this is that
we find that what causes the most anxiety in brides and grooms
regarding their big day is simply having NO idea what to expect and
how things are supposed to progress.
2. How far in advance should I book a DJ?
Peak wedding season is April through October, and we often book
dates for that timeframe a year in advance or more. If you wait
until the last few weeks (or months) before your big day, the
chances of successfully finding a professional DJ are very slim.
That's why we highly recommend that you contact us at least 6-9
months before your planned reception date, or better still, as soon
as you
book your reception location. Our convenient payment plan makes
booking early even easier, so don't wait to book.
3. What are the free
consultations like?
Approximately 6 weeks prior to your
big day, Celebrity DJ will contact you to set up a time for your
fiancé, you, and your Celebrity DJ to sit down and go over every
aspect of your reception. From the moment you two walk through the
doors of the reception hall until the last song of the night, we are
going to cover everything so you have a very clear understanding of
what to expect and when.
Also at the consultation, we will go
over the songs to play and songs not to play list. For example, if
you say to us, ”for the love of God and all things holy, PLEASE DO
NOT play the Macarena at our wedding reception!” It doesn’t matter
if 75 people at your reception are tossing $20 bills at us to play
it, we will take their money and give it to you two for your
honeymoon but we WILL NOT play the song because it is all about YOU
and what YOU want played. You have complete and total creative
control over the flow of events and music. This way you can book
with confidence and know that you don't have to worry about the DJ
being a maverick and simply playing what he thinks people want to
hear.
4. What does, “Your Event, Your
Way” mean?
In addition to having complete
creative control over both the flow/order of events and the music
during your reception, “Your Event, Your Way” also means that if
there is special music that you want played at your reception that
might be slightly left of center so to speak and we don't have it,
if you do, feel free to bring it to us and we will play it for you
and give it back at the end of the night. If we don't have it and
you don't have it, we make it OUR responsibility to locate it for
you.
5. In addition to providing DJ
services for my wedding reception, can Celebrity DJ provide music
and equipment for our ceremony and cocktail hour?
Yes, Celebrity DJ has the ability to
provide music for your ceremony as well as use of a wireless
microphone for the celebrant during your ceremony. In addition, with
one of the largest and most expansive music library’s in Southern
Colorado, Celebrity DJ has the perfect music for your cocktail hour.
6. What happens if guests begin
arriving at my reception before the time we booked Celebrity DJ?
At Celebrity DJ, we aren't clock
watchers…more often than not, we are completely set up and ready to
go at least 30 minutes before the contracted start time. At that
time, if guests are beginning to make their way into the hall, we will
start playing music the moment we see the first guest arrive, not
when the "contracted" time starts.
7. We are fairly certain we want
to book Celebrity DJ…first though, can we come and watch you work?
Much like you wouldn’t want a
complete stranger popping in on your wedding reception, at Celebrity
DJ, we can’t very well invite you to someone else’s wedding
reception. However, to “see us in action” please check out our
Promotional Video. This is a 90 second
video presentation compiled from footage taken at events we have
done over the years to help you get an idea of who we are, what we
do, and the kind of elegance and fun we can bring to your wedding
reception.
8. How do I know that I am getting
the Celebrity DJ I want for my reception?
This is one of the biggest complaints
about the wedding DJ industry. Far too many times, a couple has
either gone to a bridal show or made a phone call where they have
gotten comfortable with a specific DJ only to find out that a few
weeks before their reception that they are getting some 18 year-old
assistant.
With Celebrity DJ, you get who you
book…period. You develop a comfort and confidence with your DJ and
to not get who you thought you were getting is simply unprofessional
and NOT the Celebrity DJ way.
9. Does Celebrity DJ carry
insurance?
Celebrity DJ carries full liability
insurance through American Family Insurance and is represented
locally by agent Cathy Kramp at (719) 638-8033.
10. Does Celebrity DJ carry back-up
equipment?
With the top-of-the-line, state of
the art equipment that we provide, system failure is highly
unlikely but should something happen to the laptop computer we play
your music from, we have 2 back-up CD players and our entire music
library on CD as well.
11. Will the DJ for my wedding
reception be dressed appropriately?
Each Celebrity DJ comes outfitted in a tuxedo to add to the elegance of your
special day.
12. Does Celebrity DJ belong to
any professional trade organizations and if so, which ones?
Celebrity DJ is a proud member of the
Better Business Bureau as well as the
Southern Colorado Wedding
Association. Click on the name of the organization to learn more.
13. What makes Celebrity DJ different
than all other DJ’s?
With many other DJ companies, you may
very well be treated as exactly what you are…one of many wedding
reception bookings throughout the course of the year. We know you
don’t care about anyone else’s wedding except your own…that’s
why at Celebrity DJ, we make your event our highest priority so it
truly ends up being a special day one filled with memories that will
last a lifetime!
