After 12 years as a mobile
DJ
Entertainer, and almost 24 as a Disc Jockey, I have heard many of
the same questions time after time, Below is a small guide to answer
some of these questions..
1. How many wedding
receptions have you performed at ?
a. As of August 2010, I have performed at over 400 wedding
receptions.
2. I'm confused.
I thought you moved out of Maine?
a. Yes, I did. But, I still have family in Maine that I like to visit. So, now I book a few select
weddings.
3. How much do you
charge?
a. Normally, this would be hard to answer without knowing about your wedding first.
But, since I have moved out of Maine, I now have a
one price policy for all Maine and New Hampshire weddings.
Any location. any length of time (4, 6, 8 hours - maybe more?) only $1999.
I will fly myself up, provide my own lodging, etc.
There are no hidden costs, period.
4.
Why are you so expensive?
a. For the level of service I provide, I am considered very well
priced.
Consider that Jim Casey Entertainment is actually a division of my
business called Jim Casey Entertainment, LLC. All of the divisions are wedding
related so that I may keep up to date with trends and help my future
clientele even more.
I am fully insured, have belonged to both major Disc Jockey Associations,
started the only Association for Maine DJs called the Maine Disc Jockey Network,
own the Maine
Wedding Planner, constantly receive training from the Top
professionals in the country to maintain an edge to my service, etc.
In other words, I am a
Full-Time Professional. This is how
I make my living. 90% of DJs in this country are Part-Time
Hobbyists.
5.
Are you limited to only 4 or 5 Hours because you have another
wedding?
a. NO! The venue dictates the time allotted for a wedding reception.
I will generally play only ONE EVENT PER DAY. This assures you that
the quality of Disc Jockey Services you will receive from me will be
at the highest level.
6.
Are you a "High Strung DJ"? or Do you make yourself the "Center of
Attention"?
a. Another way to word this question is "are you an obnoxious DJ
that does nothing but play games, use props, or make a spectacle of
myself"? The answer is NO!
I will customize your event to your needs, I will motivate only when
the time is appropriate, while not intentionally making a spectacle
of myself. I am NOT the center of attention, YOU are. If you do want
games and props, I certainly do offer them.
7. How early do you arrive prior to a wedding reception?
a. My arrival time is guaranteed to be 30-60 minutes prior to the
contracted start music time You are never charged for this except if
there is any extra time required outside of 60 minutes (i.e. the
venue requires someone to be setup 4 hours early) will be charged a
nominal early set-up fee of $100 per hour (rounded to next hour).
8.
What do you wear to a wedding reception?
a. I will always dress in appropriate attire according to the event
and your wishes. For weddings and school proms, I will always be
dressed in a tuxedo unless otherwise requested.
9.
I've heard horror stories of drunk DJs, DJs that smoke like a
chimney. Do you do either of those??
a. ABSOLUTELY NOT! It is truly the act of an unprofessional DJ to
smoke and/or drink while on the job. In fact, even off the job I do
NOT smoke or DRINK!
I'm sure you have more questions
than this. Call me toll-free at (877) DJ-MAINE for more information.
