FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


  • DJ  VS. BAND

    Why hire a DJ versus a band?  Bands are great but typically are geared to just a few genres where a DJ has access  to all kinds of music.  There isn't a limit to the music we play!  More than anything else, the biggest reason for hiring a DJ is flexibility.  You get exactly the music you want, by the artist your want it from, when you want it!

  • WILL MY DJ BE INTERACTIVE?

    The short answer is, "If you want us to be." Your event is about you and your guests.  Which means you won't get a cheesy DJ that thinks the day is his!  With that said, if you are looking to add entertaining, interactive elements to your event that are fun and tasteful, then we've got your back!  Because Don Jewell is  a professional Master of Ceremonies and Host for corporate events, trivia, karaoke and more, his talent and experience speak for themselves.

  • WILL THE DJ PLAY REQUESTS?

    Again, your event will be structured to your taste.  If you want us to take requests from your guests, staff or clients, we will be happy to accommodate.  DJ Don Jewell is an "open format"  DJ meaning he's not stuck to one genre of music or style.  He possess the talent to mix...hence the word mixologist; many songs, genres and beats to meet all sound requirements seamlessly.  Taking requests along with his ability to mix and read a crowd and place those requests in precisely the perfect spot is something he takes seriously.  Mixology of music is an art form and when done correctly, gets the room moving and feeling the beats!

    We recommend that you reserve your date and time with your DJ at minimum 6 months prior to your wedding, event,  or party.  Don is your contact for all things as opposed to a group of DJ's working for one company that get disseminated to a party the day of without having any idea of the client's personality nor a relationship built because they never met .  Especially for weddings, one of the most important days in a couple's lives, it is imperative to have a working understanding and relationship with the DJ your going to have to make your wedding and reception a  success or bust!  In this area, there should be NO COMPROMISES, so get us while we're available so you can be reassured your day will be perfect!
