Audio Technica wireless microphones, We always use wireless microphones for the
Blessing, Toast and any other speeches or special events.
11) How much choice do I have in the music selection?
As much as you'd like. We send out basic song selection
sheets for every event and ask you to highlight as many specific songs and
genres that you like to hear. We also ask you lots of questions about your
preferences for music on your event date. With this information, we'll craft a
custom-designed music menu for your reception.
11) Do you play guests' requests?
That is completely up to you. If it
is all right with you, we will play whatever your guests want to hear. Your DJ
/ Entertainer will bring a song listing book that your friends are more than
welcome to search through. If, however, you would prefer that your
DJ/Entertainer not take requests, then we will respect your wishes.
12) If there are songs that we definitely don’t want played, how do we
make certain that we won't hear those songs?
Along with your "Must Play"
song lists that you can provide us for your event we encourage you to give us a
"Don't Play" list of music and rest assured, your DJ / Entertainer
will absolutely abide by it.
13) What if we want to hear a song that is
not on the song selection sheets?
Our Song Selection Sheets are just used as a
guide to help us pinpoint your musical tastes and interests. Keep in mind that
we have a combined music library of over 1,000,000 song titles. So,
if you don’t see a particular selection, there’s a good chance that it’s
in our library. As always, we will provide any song for you, at no cost to
you, as long as we have the time to do so.
14)
Do Atlantic Coast Entertainment DJ / Entertainers
take breaks?
Absolutely Not!. You will hear continuous music from the beginning to
end of your event
15)
What time will my DJ / Entertainer arrive to set
up?
Your disc jockey will usually arrive 1 hour to 1 1/2
hours before the scheduled start time of your event.
16)
Does Atlantic Coast Entertainment you put up any
company signs or banners?
Absolutely Not. We will be at your reception to
entertain you and your guests...not to advertise.
17)
Are we required to feed the DJ / Entertainer(s)?
That is your choice. Customarily, at
most functions, most people do provide a meal for their DJ / Entertainer(s).
They also arrange it with the catering captain at the facility, so that the
entertainer(s), photographer, and videographer get their meal just after either
the Guests of Honor, Bride & Groom, Bridal Party and immediate family are
served. This is so your entertainers, photographer, and videographer are
finished eating soon after either the Guests of Honor, Bride & Groom, Bridal
Party and immediate family and are now ready for anything! Maybe, to start the
formal dances...i.e. "The Father Daughter Dance"...while the guests
served last finish their meals. This saves lots of time and adds excitement to
the lull at the end of dinner. Or, to have the photographer and videographer
free to follow you around the room as you go table to table to thank your guests
for coming, which is also appropriate, depending on the event type. Also,
videographers can now do live video postcards and personal interviews.
18)
Should I Tip Our DJ / Entertainer?
We leave that up to you. If you feel your Entertainer did an exceptional job,
just as with any other service provider, usually 10-15% of the total is the
norm. But once again that is entirely up to you.
