 Why should we use your service?
We feel that with our experience we are the best choice for your DJ
entertainment. Our DJ's are focused exceeding your expectations and making
your evening memorable and hassle free. We also help you to customize your
entire event. We listen to your requirements and follow through with your
requests. Our DJ's, managers, and company as a whole is more than willing
to accommodate you in whatever way we can!
Can
we come to one of your events and see your DJ's performing?
We extend all of our clients our privacy policy. This means that no
uninvited guests will be intruding on your reception. This also allows your
entertainer to concentrate on your reception instead of answering questions
for potential clients. We also customize each client's event. That means
that not one of our events is the same. We use our client's guidance and
our expertise to create the best evening for you.
Do
you take requests?
Certainly! We make it a point. We use your event planning material
and your personal request list as the basis of any event, but we are always
more than willing to take guests requests. Taking requests from guests allows
the crowd more interaction and ultimately will lead to your crowd participating
more.
What
do you do in case of emergency?
Nightlife Entertainment has back-up equipment available with an on-call
manager in case of any emergency. The back-up manager has all the information
regarding your event. We also do weekly equipment testing in order to assure
complete satisfaction for our clients. Things don't go wrong, but if they
did it's nice to know you're covered.
Can
we bring our own music to the event?
You are more than welcome to bring your own music. In fact, we encourage
that. Nightlife Entertainment has a huge music database with access to almost
every song ever recorded. We subscribe to a monthly recording company that
provides us with all the latest music. Even given that, most of our clients
prefer to bring some type of music.
How
do you determine who will be my DJ?
We select your DJ based on your event planning material. We take in
mind all of your musical preferences, your roles and expectations, and your
preferred entertainer personality.
When
will I speak with my DJ?
We request that you send in your event planning material and final
payment 3 weeks prior to your event. Once we receive your event planning
material we will copy and forward it to your entertainer. At this point your
entertainer will look through the materials and contact you the Tuesday prior
to your event in order to discuss the specifics of your event. Over the phone
consultations typically take a half hour.
How
much is the required deposit and when do we pay the
balance?
Your deposit of $200.00 is required to hold your event date. We collect
the balance and the event planning material 3 weeks prior to your event.
Taking care of everything in advance allows you to relax and have a wonderful,
hassle free night!
How
do we reserve Nightlife Entertainment?
Simply fill out and send in the entertainment contract and $200.00
deposit. Nightlife Entertainment will sign and copy your contract. We then
mail you a copy of the contract and a confirmation event letter.
How
much music can you play in an evening?
A good rule of thumb is 15 - 18 songs per hour. A typical 4 hour dance
would accommodate between 60 - 70 songs.
How
many DJ's do you have on staff?
We have 18 DJ's on staff.
Can
you provide ceremony music for us?
Sure, we'd be happy to accommodate your ceremony. In a given year
Nightlife does over 100 ceremonies. Depending on your ceremony location the
fee can range $125 - $250. Please contact us for specific details.
What
if I talk to my DJ on the phone and I don't like them?
This has honestly never happened, but we understand the possibility.
If this was your situation we would re-evaluate your event planning material
and select a new DJ for you.
What
if some of our songs are not on your play list?
No problem. Feel free to let us or your DJ know and we will do our
very best to provide those specific request for you. The song list that you
view online is only a portion of the actual amount of music we have.
What
is an appropriate gratuity to offer a DJ?
Like any service industry, our DJ's work very hard for a gratuity.
Typically clients offer 15% - 20%.
Do
you perform at my event site?
Nightlife has relationship with many reception facilities throughout
Minnesota. We have performed at virtually every event site in the state.
If for whatever reason we haven't performed at your venue, it is our company's
policy to contact the reception facility the week of the event.
Do
I have to provide a meal for the DJ?
No, you are not required to feed your DJ. Remember, your DJ is setting
up hours before you arrive at the facility, and they are tearing down equipment
hours after you leave. Meals are very nice gesture seeing that your DJ will
be at your reception facility for roughly 10 hours.
Can
we plug into your system?
Certainly! We are happy to accommodate your request. Feel free to
inform the DJ prior to the event. A standard Y cable is all that you need.
The length depends on how far you need to reach.
How
experienced are your DJ's?
Some of our DJ's have 8 years of experience, others have 1. Either
way it's not a DJ we hire, it's a personality. We seek out individuals that
have the criteria we need to create a wonderful DJ. Those individuals are
reliable, open minded, perceptive, accommodating, and are great communicators.
Nightlife also has a 10 week training program for new DJ's. This consists
of class room and on the job training.
Does Your Company have liability insurance?
Yes, Nightlife Entertainment has full liability insurance in place
at every event. Our policy is blanketed and coverage's start at $1,000,000
depending on the latitude of the event. |
