FAQ

FACTS AND QUESTIONS

Do you offer a written contract?

YES. All of the wedding disc jockeys you interview may not have the same standards of professionalism. A written, legal contract is one of the first indicators of whether a DJ is professional and reliable. Furthermore, a contract establishes the DJ’s obligation to the client and outlines what is required for the DJ’s success, by outlining his setup requirements and other factors related to his performance. For this reason, a written contract is absolutely essential and any DJ not using a written contract should not, in our opinion, be considered for a wedding reception.

Will you be the DJ at our wedding?

MOST LIKELY, YES. If for any reason Quadi is not the one to DJ your wedding reception, you will be in contact with and introduced to your dj months in advance. They will also be the one you are in contact with during your one-on-one interviews.

May we meet with you in person before we sign a contract?

YES. We actually prefer it that way. It means a lot to meet with you and your partner-to-be. Our style is a modern and unique one. In some cases, what we offer is not the same as what you want; in which case we will gladly direct you in the right direction to find another entertainment company more suited to what you are looking for.

How long will you hold our date for us?

The moment we speak through email, phone or text; the date of your reception is listed in our calendar. We take offers on a first come, first serve basis. If another offer comes along on the same date as yours, we will notify you and do our best to give you ample time to make a decision.

Do you work exclusively for this company?

Dj Quadi is the owner of this company. If you are booked with another DJ, any and all information as to his/her experience, background and prior/current residencies & company’s employed for will be disclosed before any contract is signed.

How long have you been a DJ and how many weddings have you done?

Dj Quadi has been entertaining at wedding receptions since 2004. In that time, without any form of open marketing, he has consistently played an average of 20+ weddings per year. Throughout that time he has worked hard to learn from every experience and build upon it; constantly improving his knowledge and re-investing in his product to build a bigger and better show every year.

Do you act as the “emcee” and make all of the announcements?

YES. Any professional wedding DJ should be comfortable with making announcements and serving as the emcee (MC) for the wedding, it is a standard part of the job.

Can we visit you at a performance?

Yes & No. If the performance is a public one (i.e. bar/nightclub), We would love to see you in attendance. As stated before, we do not market and rely on word-of-mouth and, above all, clients seeing our product first hand. If we are playing another wedding reception or private party, then the answer is NO. Just as you probably would not like random people attending your event, we feel the same for them.

How involved can we be in selecting music for our event?

During the planning process, we work hard to offer our clients several opportunities to select songs and place them on both a “do not play” and a “must play” list. We’ve been known to go above and beyond and remix tracks for couples to help make their reception unique in several aspects. If you’d like to know more, feel free to ask.

When do we need to submit our music requests and event details?

Once the contract is signed (if not sooner), we will share our unique and customized wedding reception planner. Typically we ask to have this returned no later than ten (10) days before the date of your event, but we also understand the amount of work it takes to put such a momentous day together. Because of this, we are willing to work with you up until the day of your event to ensure everything you want is delivered properly.

Do you take song suggestions from our guests?

Of course we do. We do our best to play suggestions so long as they fit into the overall programming for the night and are not on your do-not-play list.

When do you arrive to set up for our wedding?

We aim to arrive 3 hours before the start of your event. On average, it takes us 2 hours to set-up. We like to leave extra room in case of last minute changes and because we all know there will be those few guests that arrive half an hour before cocktail hour is scheduled to start!

What will you wear to our wedding?

We always look sharp, stylish and professional. Dark, custom-tailored suits/vests/ties or bow ties for weddings.

Do you require a meal?

No. We actually find it tacky when we see wedding dj’s scrambling down a meal in front of your guests in the midst of dinner while we should be working to ensure everything is running in tip-top shape.

Are you insured?

Yes. All of our DJ’s carry full liability insurance. Copies of insurance information can be provided upon request.

What kind of equipment do you use?

We pride ourselves on only using top-of-the-line products. We don’t buy or use the cheap stuff and we don’t expect you to suffer through the low quality and common malfunctions that come with those that do. A full and detailed list of what we use can be provided by request.

Do you bring backup equipment with you to the wedding?

As stated above, we only use what is deemed to be the best of the best products offered, but ultimately we do have a back-up plan in place in the event something happens during the event.

Do you set up a sign or banner with your equipment?

Never. At bare minimum, we may have our personal stage/dj name on our computer, but we will never place any sign or banner with our equipment.
