How long have you been in the DJ business?
I've been a DJ for over 20 years. This has made me an expert in dealing with the unexpected and making your day run smooth.
Are you a Multi-DJ company?
No, If you hire me, I'll be the one to show up along with one assistant. In case of an emergency, I make sure there is always someone available to back me up.
How do you dress for your formal events?
I wear a suit to formal events and dress appropriately to all other events.
Do you have a backup system?
Yes, I take a complete backup system to all of my events.
Do you have DJ insurance?
Yes, and I'll take care of sending the proof of insurance to your venue.
How far in advance should we book a DJ?
The sooner the better. With quality vendors, the popular dates will be booked a year or more in advance.
How do we secure your service?
We schedule a meeting and create an itinerary/timeline of what events you would like to happen, I'll play music samples for you to choose from, we'll determine the exact cost, sign a brief contract, place your reservation fee and this will secure your date.
How much do you charge?
I highly recommend that you first set-up a personal meeting with me which lasts around 2 hours, this way we can personally meet, I can get an idea of what you're looking for, describe my services to you and answer any questions you may have. Please feel free to call, email or text me anytime to set-up your meeting. Email: DjGaryMusic@mac.com / Cell: (626) 429-0815
