1.What services do you offer?
We are a Full Time Professional Licensed & Insured Music Company so we offer everything a
couple would want and need to take their wedding from exciting to exceptional. That includes
Band/dj; musicians for ceremony and cocktail hr.; lighting; plasma and video screens, and
much more.

2.What is the main function of the DJ?
It’s our job to make sure the couple and especially there guests have a GREAT time and spend
more time on the dance floor than they do in their seat…and that means something that will
appeal to everyone. So, besides, spinning all the song’s on the couple’s list, we’ve got to be
ready to get a feel for the crowd and work them as well…and to guide the bride and groom on
how to make the wedding something they will never forget.

3.Why is quality entertainment so important for a wedding celebration?
Because, a wedding is one of the most important days of their life and music make the party.

4.What types of music do you play?
We play first and foremost what ever the bride requests, but we also take requests from the
crowd, unless it’s on the bride and groom’s “DO NOT’ play list, and we generally take our
cues from both, because our mission is to keep the party going and keep it alive.

5.What is currently “hot” or the latest “trend” in DJ entertainment?
Plasma and video screens along with custom lighting and live musicians for the cocktail hr.

6.How far in advance should a couple start looking for a DJ?
As a general rule, we suggest 1 year in advance or as soon as they set a date.

7.How far in advance should a couple book a DJ?
Because we book on a first come, first serve basis, and because the couple will need time to
formulate their play list, it’s best to book as soon as possible. Our general rule of thumb is 1 to
2 years in advance.

8.Do you also specialize or include any special effects?
Yes, effects are incredibly “hot” right now and can add lots of unforgettable ambiance to the
party. We offer a variety of special effects including the couple’s name in lights, dancing on a
cloud, etc.

9.How often should a couple effectively meet with the DJ prior to the wedding?
At After hours we meet once at booking and then we talk throughout the year many times, then
meet in person once more 1 month before the big day to go over finals and details for the
wedding.
Music Please!
