Q.
Why
should I
hire a
Professional
DJ
instead
of using
other
music/entertainment
options? |
|
|
|
A.
Professional
DJ
services
have
evolved
quite a
bit over
the last
5 years. Few are
the days
that the
DJ is
only
there to
play
records.
Since
the
early
80's a
professional
and more
entertaining
breed of
DJ
services
appeared.
The "new
breed"
wears
many
hats and
has many
talents,
unlike
their
predecessors
including
some of
the
current
competition.
We, at
3M DJs
pride
ourselves
on being
part of
the
evolution
of the
Disc
Jockey
industry.
No
longer
the
"male-dominated
hobbyists"
of the
past,
Mobile
Disc
Jockeys
have
become a
professional
and
integral
part of
event
services.

Q.
What are
your
prices
and
packages
and are
they
negotiable? |
|
|
|
A. We
don not
have any
fixed
packages
or
prices
as we
like to
give you
the
choice
in what
you
would
like at
your
event. Our
pricing
and
packages
will
vary
depending
on the
type of
event
and the
services
and/or
equipment
you
require.
It is
best to
speak to
us in
person
regarding
your
final
decision
on
package
and
pricing.
Prices
may be
affected
by
Holiday
dates,
peak and
low
seasons
and/or
additional
equipment
and
other
requirements
that you
may not
even be
aware
you
need. |

We have
offered
our
services
to our
clients
as a
full-time
professional
business
since
1995,
this is
not a
hobby
for us
or a
"side
job".
Our ONLY
focus is
on our
clients,
therefore
our
prices
reflect
our
services
and
quality.
Our
prices
are
based on
the
professionalism,
experience,
talent,
service
and
expertise
of our
entertainers
and the
cost of
doing
business
using
commercial
equipment
and
keeping
our
music
library
and
skills
current.
Our
pricing
is very
competitive
but our
personal
commitment
to
serving
our
clients
is above
average. |
|
|
|
We will
tailor a
package
to suit
all
budgets.
Please
contact
us with
your
requirements
and
budget
in mind
and
leave
the rest
to us!
Although
we have
some
package
pricing
available,
you may
require
something
completely
unique
and
different.
We are
flexible
in
creating
a
package
to fit
your
event
needs. |

Q.
Do you
have
backup
equipment? |
|
|
|
A. Yes
our DJs
will
have a
full set
of
backup
equipment
on-hand
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.

What
kind of
attire
do you
want
them to
wear? |
|
|
|

of the
best
services
you will
find
that
tuxedo
wear is
their
standard
uniform
for are
Professional
Disc
Jockeys.
All
Music
Mix

used if
requested

Q.
How
interactive
are your
DJs |
|
|
|
A. 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
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
professionalism
no
matter
how
outgoing
you want
us to
be. We
will use
our
skills
professionally
and
never
steal
the
spotlight.

|
Q.
Do you
take
breaks? |
|
|
|
A. 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). |

quite
simple.

a
written
quotation
from any
competing

will we
aim to
match it
but will
in most
cases
beat it! |

We are
consistently
asked
what the
appropriate
gratuity
should
be.
There
isn't a
formula
that we
are
aware of
but in
our
experience
it
appears
to be
about
10-15%
is the
average. |
