Meeting at my house to put your music and order of events together (Most times takes about 45-1.5 hours)
Any music I have to buy up to about 30.00 at N/C to you (Just so you know I've only up charged for music I think 3 times in the last 8-9 years) so it doesn't happed to often.

5. Are you available to travel if needed?

Yes
We do wedding all over the state.

6. How would you describe your style?

My style is pretty laid back I start by meeting you and seeing what you two want and then I watch your guest during CKT/Dinner Time and see what their enjoying and then once dancing starts I take all that I've been watching and what you requested on put it all together to keep people on the floor.

7. What's your backup plan if there's an equipment malfunction? Do you bring backup equipment?

I bring backup equipment all the time.

8. What's your sick day policy?

So far I've only had 1 wedding that I had to cover and its never a problem because I have 3 other DJ I can call if I need.

9. How do you motivate a shy crowd to dance? What do you do to motivate the crowd if nobody is dancing?

I'll try all different type of music till I find what works but this go along the lines that I mention before I start watching people during CKT/Dinner Time and by the time dancing starts I have a pretty good idea what will work. Plus I listen to you guest and you when they want to make request (As long as it goes with the flow)

10. What is your cancellation and/or refund policy?

If you cancel it depends on why and how much work I've done or turned down on how much of the deposit you'll get back but if you just move your date you don't loose anything.
