 FAQs

  • I can provide live music and/or pre-recorded music for your ceremony and cocktail hour. I can also Emcee your wedding and DJ your reception. Beyond those standard services, I offer something unique called LIVE Music Bingo—a fun and interactive way to keep guests entertained while the wedding party takes photos.

  • Absolutely! I'd be honored to be your one-stop shop for wedding entertainment. Booking both services with me can also help reduce your overall costs compared to hiring multiple vendors.

  • I recommend booking about a year in advance—ideally around the time you're securing your venue. That said, I'm always happy to accommodate last-minute requests if I’m available.

  • Yes! I have a live performance repertoire of over 450 songs, and my DJ sets are fully customized for each wedding based on your music preferences.

  • Speakers: I use a pair of Bose L1 Pro16s as my main setup, plus an AlphaTheta Wave Eight wireless battery-powered speaker for sound reinforcement anywhere on-site—indoors or outdoors.
    Wireless Microphones: I use a Shure SLX-D/Nexadyne Digital Wireless System, which includes two lapel mics and one handheld mic. All mics run through a DBX AFS2 Feedback Suppression Processor to reduce the risk of feedback.
    Lighting: My lighting setup includes six Smart 2 PRO RGBWA+UV 162W lights. Typically, I place two behind my booth, two aimed at the dance floor, and two as uplights. The lights are DMX-controlled via my laptop using SoundSwitch and are synced with the music during the reception. For safety (and better photos), I avoid using lasers, strobe effects, or fog machines.
    Backup Gear: I always bring spare microphones, speakers, etc., to cover any potential equipment issues.

  • Short answer: pretty far! I’m happy to travel, though depending on the distance, a travel fee may apply. Feel free to reach out with the location details for a custom quote.

  • To get started, we’ll connect by email or phone to talk through your plans and what you’re looking for. Once you're ready to move forward, I'll send over a contract for review. After it's signed, I’ll issue an invoice for a 50% deposit, which officially secures your date. As the big day gets closer, I’ll ask you to fill out a questionnaire to help tailor the playlists. One week before the wedding, I’ll check in with you or your planner to confirm the final details.

  • I understand that life happens! I’ll do my best to accommodate any last-minute changes, free of charge, as long as I’m available.

  • Yes! I have a one million dollar general liability policy through Spinnaker Insurance Company.
