FAQS

Can we customize the playlist for our event?

Absolutely! You’ll have full input on must-play songs, do-not-play lists, and special requests. We’ll mix them seamlessly with crowd favorites to keep the energy right all night.

Do you provide sound for ceremonies as well as receptions?

Yes. We bring separate audio setups for ceremonies, including wireless microphones and background music, ensuring every word and moment is heard clearly.

How far in advance should we book?

We recommend booking at least 6–12 weeks before your event, especially for peak wedding and holiday seasons. That said, we’ll always do our best to accommodate last-minute events if availability allows.

Do you handle sound for the ceremony and cocktail hour, or just the reception?

Yes. We can cover all three. For ceremonies, we bring a wireless lapel mic for the officiant and a handheld for vows/readings. If the ceremony or cocktail hour is in a different area, we set a small satellite speaker so guests hear every word. Then we transition straight into the reception music without dead air.

What space and power do you need at the venue?

A clear area of about 8' × 6' works well for the booth, speakers, and lighting. We ask for one dedicated 15A circuit for sound (a second 15A is helpful if you’ve booked lighting). Flat, covered ground is best—no wobbly stages. We typically need 60–90 minutes to set up and 45–60 minutes to break down.

Can we extend the party if the dance floor is still packed?

Yes. We’ll check with the venue about curfew and noise rules, then keep the music going in 30- or 60-minute blocks. Overtime is confirmed with you on the spot so there are no surprises. We’ll make a smooth final song call when the venue says time.
