I f you do not have one of the songs per-requested by the client, do you require that they provide it?

Its very rare that this happens. Since we use numerous sources We can most of the time provide the music they want. If we are not sure about the version of the song. We will contact the Bride and Groom to verify that's the version so there is no confusion on their special day. 

My Dj service is always happy to buy new music and I'll never require a client to provide me with any.

How many other DJs do you work with?

There useally is two Djs on hand at a wedding to help the flow of the night and to make sure nothing is ever missed. I network in my area a total of three other djs in my area. I also network with other djs through out the world. So if a Bride and Groom is in need of a DJ in another state I can help assist them in making the best decision.
What is the minimum amount of time you will DJ for?

No time limit. I am there early to setup and to make sure if any guest that arrive early can enjoy music while waiting for the reception to begin. We can also be also there until the hall closes. I do charge extra for OT if we go past the contracted time up to one hour.

Is the client able to meet the DJ before booking?

Always!!! This is very important to me too meet with the Bride and Groom. Getting to know them helps us make Bride and Groom's day even more special then what it already is. Clients are not just clients they are our friends.

No not really but we can try, this is where we would really have to sit down and talk about what you would like played.

Three hours for setup time would be ideal and about a hour and a half for take down.

if that doesn't we would try different Genres to see what works best.

A playlist would be made derring those times or the back up dj will fill in.

It's very rare that this happens. If this does happens I network with numerous other djs that equivalent to what we can provide.
