1. How many wedding receptions have you performed at ?
a. As of September 2007, I have performed at over 300 wedding receptions.

2. Do you perform for gay/lesbian couples (i.e. commitment ceremonies) ?
a. YES!

3. May I see you perform at a wedding reception?
a. No. My policy is to NOT allow viewing of my services at wedding receptions or other private functions. It would be unfair and unethical of me to allow a stranger to "pop-in" and watch even a few minutes of their big day. It would give the impression that I care more about the "next sale" rather than the party in front of me. I would much rather lose a booking than allow my services to be compromised at ANY private function.

4. How much do you charge?
a. This is a loaded question!

I am not a cookie-cutter DJ and cannot give you a real quote until we actually talk about your specific needs. My wedding reception rates start at $999. I provide many more services above and beyond the typical DJ service. I have attempted to explain the service that I provide for you and hopefully this will give you a better understanding of why I charge what I do.

5. 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 djmaine.com, 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.

Along with maintaining a professional office in the Southborough Business Park in South Portland, I am fully insured, belong 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. How early do you arrive prior to a wedding reception?
a. My arrival time is guaranteed to be 60-90 minutes prior to the contracted start music time You are never charged for this except if there is any extra time required outside of 90 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 nearest hour).

9. 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.

10. 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!
