| FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ) |
When will you arrive for my party? When will you arrive for my party? We usually arrive an hour before the event. It only takes about 45 minutes to set up our equipment, so in the unlikely event of any technical problems, we can solve them well before the start of your event. [Go to top of page.] Can you play music for my wedding ceremony? We are often asked to supply ceremony music, all you have to do is schedule us to play for that time. We suggest scheduling us to start 15 minutes before the ceremony time. Also, there is a small fee if the sound systems needs to be moved to another location. But if the ceremony and reception are located in the same area, there's no extra charge. [Go to top of page.] Can you play music to entertain all our guests? That's exactly what we do! We all have the ability to "read a crowd" and will select a mix of music that will touch upon everyone there. We'll have music with us for every generation. [Go to top of page.] Do you play requests? We will play requests and use our better judgment when playing them. For instance, there are many inappropriate songs that can completely ruin a wedding reception. But those same songs may work great at a fraternity party. We always clear those hurdles with our clients beforehand. [Go to top of page.] Do you provide special requests? We'll try to get it (and we rarely fail!) If you ask us for it, there's a very good chance that someone else has asked for it before. If you like, you can also supply anything specific that you already own. [Go to top of page.] Do you take breaks? No. [Go to top of page.] Do I have to provide the DJ a meal? It's not necessary. We know how expensive catering an event can be. The majority of the time, we eat before or after an event. [Go to top of page.] What will the DJ wear? Tuxedoes and black suits are our standard attire for a wedding. Just let us know if you want us to dress otherwise. We've done luau weddings, renaissance weddings, halloween weddings, and et cetera. [Go to top of page.] How much will you use the microphone? We try not to overdo it. We feel your guests are not interested in hearing us talk all night long, but if that's what you want, we can accomodate you. We generally make the usual announcements and will encourage your guests to dance periodically over the microphone. Beyond that, we let the music do the talking. [Go to top of page.] What kind of equipment do you use? Our Disc Jockeys uses only quality studio equipment. Our Mackie SRM-450 SRM450 powered speakes and our six-channel on-stage mixer with EMAC digital effects provide great sound without interupting the entertainment. All of our equipment utilizes the latest in cutting-edge technology. [Go to top of page.] Once a contract is signed can you change the event date? As long as the new date is available, this isn't a problem. [Go to top of page.] Once a contract is signed can we cancel? We know plans can change. If you have to cancel, we'll hold your deposit as a credit towards a future event no matter when it is. [Go to top of page.] Can we see you perform? It shouldn't be a problem getting you into at least one event. However, the majority of our business is private parties and the decision is ultimately up to the host. [Go to top of page.] Do you charge for travel or setup? Any travel within a 50 mile radius of Canton, MI is included in the price. Anything beyond that will have to have a travel fee tacked on, due to rising gas costs. Setup and breakdown are part of the package. [Go to top of page.] Can the DJ stay longer? Most of our packages are for a set amount of four hours. If you want more time, the price will change. For daytime events, we suggest booking the DJ ahead of time since we may have an evening event afterwards. [Go to top of page.] How much do you help to coordinate events? We have found over the years that many events need a little guidance. We help to "host" the event by working with your caterer, photographers, or other professionals to keep all your guests entertained and involved in the festivities. [Go to top of page.] Can you provide lighting effects if we need it? Each package we offer includes different levels of lighting. We have laser beams, sound-activated lighting, mirror balls, strobe lights, fog machines and we even break out the Bubble Machine for wedding receptions. It really depends on how much money you've budgeted for the event. [Go to top of page.] Do you have back-up equipment? Yes. We have a complete backup system available for every event! [Go to top of page.] Will your DJ drink at our event? What if our Disc Jockey gets sick or has an accident? We always have equipment and DJs in reserve just in case of illness or something unforeseen. We realize how important we are to the success of your event and we are very careful not to take any chances. [Go to top of page.] Are there any taxes? No. DJ services are not subject to sales tax. [Go to top of page.] How much does it cost to book for my function? It depends on what you want for your party. The easiest way to find out is to visit the "Pricing" page on this site and either give us a call or drop us an email. [Go to top of page.] Can't you just give me some idea of your price? Sure! Just call or email us and we'd be glad to give you a price quote and explain what you would get for each amount. We are neither the cheapest or most expensive Disc Jockey Service in the area. We feel our prices are very fair and our packages are priced so that we can work within any realistic budget. But you won't know that for a fact unless you contact us! [Go to top of page.] Do I tip the DJ? We don't expect tips but we appreciate the courtesy. [Go to top of page.] How far in advance do we need to book? Most people book their DJ from 4-6 months or more in advance. However, on many occasions we book dates just a few of weeks or days ahead of time. It's always best to go ahead and confirm a date as soon as you have one rather than putting it off until the last minute. [Go to top of page.] Can we use a credit card to pay for your services? No. We prefer a check made out to the individual DJ or cash. [Go to top of page.] We would like to book you. What do we do next? Give us a call at (313)525-7878 or send us an email at newreactionsound@yahoo.com. [Go to top of page.] Who made the website? Michael Johnson. [email] [Go to top of page.]
