Frequently Asked Questions
Do you take breaks?
No. Our DJ staff will perform continuously throughout the night. From
our scheduled start time until your party is over, the music will be
playing (unless of course you request a break for some other reason).
Can we choose the music to be played at our event?
Our services are based solely upon what you want them to be. We have
learned that keeping your crowd alive depends on a lot of things
including the type of music, type of mix, DJ personality, atmosphere,
etc…but its not just the music. Taking the time to submit us a list of
of music you and your guests like will greatly increase your chances of
a successful event and also allow your DJ to customize the music at your
event.
Can we have a "do not play" list? Yes. This
may be just as important to you and your event. You may also create a do
not play list from our song search page and send it to us in the same
manner.
What if we want a song that you don't have? Our music collection
spans thousands of songs from several decades. Often a client will want
a song that is somewhat obscure and we may not have it. If this is the
case there are two options: you may either supply us with the CD before
the event so that we may check it for scratches, or (if you do not own a
legal copy) we will obtain that song before your event. Just give us
advance notice if we need to find a song. If you give us a CD we will
return it to you at the end of the night.
How loud do you play the music? One of the
greatest concerns of bands and DJs is that the music is too loud. This
will not be the case with our services. During your cocktail and dinner
hours we will play soft and relaxing background music. The sound will be
as evenly dispersed throughout the hall as possible. We will make sure
that your guests can hear both themselves talking and the background
music. When it comes time for dance music we will adjust accordingly.
Speakers may be repositioned. Our staff will adjust the equalization of
the music in order to get the right sound for the specific room. We will
focus the music in the dance floor area. This means that while the
volume is loud enough to dance to on the floor, the rest of the room
will be able to continue to hear themselves socialize.
Do you have backup equipment? Our DJs will
have equipment available to ensure the music keeps going. Our equipment
and staff are very dependable. If something does fail, it can be easily
fixed or switched without you and your guests even knowing.
Do you provide a light show? Our light
shows are additional options available to you. Your DJ will help you
select a lightshow appropriate to your event. It may be a simple,
elegant show or a concert-like show complete with Intelligent lighting.
The ultimate decision is up to you.
How interactive are your DJs? This is
another great concern of all customers. The answer is simple: our DJs
are as interactive as you want them to be. They can be background
figures that keep the attention on the bridal party, completely
outgoing, or any level that you desire. We are professional entertainers
and can handle your requests without a problem. However, you will never
hear your DJ yelling or singing into the microphone. We still maintain a
degree of professionalism no matter how outgoing you want us to be. We
will use our skills professionally and never steal the spotlight.
How experienced are your entertainers? All
of our entertainers are hand selected and trained. We have different
levels of experience available. Our DJs have been trained formally by DJ
Eric G. They have also served as assistants to Eric G in some cases and
received on the job training. Our DJ staff currently consists of five of
the most talented Disc Jockeys in New England. If you require nothing
but the best, then Upper Valley DJ is the right choice for you. We take
pride in providing quality service to all of our customers.
Are you insured? Most quality banquet
facilities require entertainment companies to be fully insured. You and
your guests are protected by our service. This gives you the security of
knowing that you, your friends, your family and the facility are taken
care of by a professional company that cares enough to be prepared.
Does the DJ expect tipping/gratuity? While
it is common to tip the entertainment industry, it is not mandatory. Our
staff is paid from your fees. However, if your DJ surpasses your
expectations and you wish to tip, a tip would be considered extremely
generous and taken as a great compliment.
