Frequently Asked Questions
What makes your company worth our investment?
Our care and concern for your special event is second only to your
own. We are able to bring experience from all of our performances
to your one special night. This means we make your vision of the
perfect celebration a reality. Our fresh look brings a new definition
to “experienced DJ.” We've been entertaining for over 25 years; but
there is nothing old about our company. Our professional sound
system is uniformly sleek and state-of-the-art, our light show
dazzling yet unobtrusive, and of course, our DJs are highly polished
and energetic. We believe that being a successful disc jockey
requires 100% musical expertise, 100% customer service
satisfaction, and 100% professionalism. The investment you make
in our company reflects the quality and expertise we bring to your
special event.
Is setup time included in your price?
You never have to pay for setup or teardown time. We typically
arrive 90 minutes prior to your scheduled start time and will likely
be in place long before your first guest arrives. But it's on our own
time! The same applies for teardown time after your event.
Do you take breaks?
No. Our services are truly uninterrupted. From our scheduled start
time to our scheduled end time we take no breaks. Unlike bands
that need to stop and rest, we just keep on playing!
Can we choose the music to be played at our
event?
Yes. You'll be amazed at how flexible we are when it comes to
music selection! That's because in the past 25 years we've learned
that keeping the dance floor packed is influenced by many factors,
including the order and style in which the songs are played, the
way songs are mixed together, and DJ interaction.
We've had customers that have chosen every song for the entire
event and others that have left the music selection completely up
to us. Our recommendation is to check off your "must play"
selections from our printed song list. This will leave plenty of room
for requests from your guests and DJ selections. You may also
stipulate that we not take requests from your guests. But have fun
and select music you want to hear and dance to. After all, it's your
event!
Can we have a "Do Not Play" list?
Yes. Sometimes the Do Not Play list is as important as the
request list itself! We understand that you don't want to hear the
song you and your "ex" danced to! Any specific songs or general
types of music you absolutely don't want to hear should go on your
"do not play" list. So don't feel as though we have to play the
chicken dance and hokey pokey...we don't! Be assured that if a
guest requests a song that is on your "do not play" list, it will not
be played.
Suppose we want music that isn't in your music
library?
While our extensive music library encompasses a wide variety of
hits from the 1940s to today, you may have a few requests that
are not in our collection. In this case, we would be more than
happy to play your CD if you let us know ahead of time. We'll also
try to find the songs you want and bring them with us at no extra
charge.
How loud do you play the music?
A common complaint of bands and DJs is that they play the music
too loud. It doesn't have to be that way! The speakers will be
positioned for maximum sound coverage on the dance floor and
minimum sound exposure throughout the rest of the room. This
means that on the dance floor the music will be at a very
comfortable level, yet powerful enough for dancing. Throughout the
rest of the room the music will be pleasant and allow your guests
to carry on a normal conversation.
Do you hang self-promoting banners or other
advertisements?
Absolutely not. We pride ourselves on being elegant and
professional. While we certainly appreciate referral business, we
feel our services speak for themselves. We will not hang any
banners, logos, or signs on our equipment. Nor will we put any
advertisements on the dinner tables. Business cards will be
available.
How interactive is your DJ?
We actually let you decide how much interaction you would like
from us. We can be completely conservative, totally outgoing, or
anywhere in between. Just let us know your wishes as you plan for
your event. Most parties call for a DJ with eloquent emcee skills
and the wisdom to use words sparingly. Even at our most outgoing
level, we remain professional.
Can we meet with you before signing the
contract?
This is a very understandable request. While not necessary, we
would be happy to set up a meeting in a public place at your
convenience.
The owner of SaMusic4you is also the DJ. You will get the owner. So
you never have to worry about getting "the new guy" or the "DJ in
training."
How far will you travel?
We travel anywhere we need to go. We have performed at events
in Ausitn, Houston, even Dallas!
Is tipping expected for the DJ?
We charge a professional rate for a professional service. This
means you won't see a tip jar on our table. If at the end of the
evening, you feel the DJ has done a fine job, we would accept that
as a compliment.
Should we feed the DJ?
It is completely up to you. With setup and teardown time, we'll
often be at your event for approximately six hours. If you choose
to provide a meal for the DJ, we appreciate it.
How much is the deposit and when is the final
payment due?
We require a $100.00 deposit and a signed contract to reserve your
date. The final payment of the remaining balance is due before the start
of your event. We will gladly accept your certified check, cashier's check, money order, or cash. Personal checks or credit cards will be accepted but must be submitted 2 weeks prior to the event.
How early should we book?
The sooner the better! Some of the most popular dates book as
early as one year in advance. Our suggestion is to be prepared to
sign a contract 8-12 months before your date. Some dates remain
Is there sales tax or are there any other fees
applied to your services?
No. Fortunately in Texas there is no sales tax on services.
This means that your total package price upon which we agree will
be your absolute final price.
Are your rates negotiable through price matching
or other discounts?
Our rates are based on our cost of doing business as well as the
value we place on the job. We take all events seriously and attend
to each in a professional manner. We're confident you will find our
prices to be competitive. Just remember the old saying "you get
what you pay for." When you book our services you're not only
paying for incredible DJ entertainment, you're paying for peace of
mind.
