Chicago Wedding DJ

Great question!

• You reach out by emailing us, or calling so we can check your date’s availability to make sure we still have one of our awesome DJs available.
• We can chat over the phone, video chat, or in person (in Chicago) to talk about what we can offer you to make your wedding day perfect! During this step, we also give you confirmed pricing.
• After that meeting, you have 1 week to decide if you want to book us. During this week, we hold your date without a contract or retainer.
• Once you decide you want to book us, we all get excited and high-five, then we send a contract for you and your fiancé to e-sign. 
• Then you pay your non-refundable retainer fee, which is 50%. We accept Checks, Chase QuickPay/Zelle Network, or Credit Card.

Then we’re locked down and confirmed! After that, we start planning!

We’ll make sure we stay on track and ahead of time so that no one needs to get stressed out. The last thing we want are stressed out clients!

• We’ll setup an initial planning meeting after we’re booked. During this meeting, we go over the planning forms and timeline with you (we’ll help a lot for this part) and we show you how to use our online music request/selection system.
• You get your login and password sent to you so you can login anytime, anywhere and make changes to your forms, timeline, or music (that’s the fun part)
• We’ll reach out two months before your wedding to setup a final planning meeting. If you want to meet before that time, it’s no problem, just let us know.

Absolutely, and we’re happy to provide a copy to your venue or have them listed as additional insureds. We do carry a $2 million insurance policy. Even if your venue doesn’t require that your vendors are insured, it’s still best that we are for everyone’s sake. 🙂 

Have to? Absolutely not!

We do allow up to 100 songs to be requested ahead of time by you and your fiancé, but keep in mind, with an average song length of 3 minutes, that would be 5 hours of music, so we won’t be able to play all of them.

Because of this, in our online music request system we give you three lists of music:

• Songs We’d LOVE to Hear
• Songs we’d LIKE to hear
• DO NOT PLAY

We’ve have couples fill out all 100, and we’ve also had couples who only add 4 songs. There is no right or wrong, and whatever you do, we’ll discuss with you. We’re professional disc jockeys, here to make your day perfect based on our expertise. 

We’ll advise you how much setup and teardown time we’re going to need, based on your venue, and the amount of gear/equipment that we’re bringing. We typically overestimate by quite a bit since we’d much rather be early than late and rushing! You aren’t paying for this unless there is an extreme case (for example, due to other circumstances we need to set up 8 hours before the wedding starts)

We make it a point to be as clear as possible with our pricing. We don’t have sales tax on our DJ services since it’s a service (not a tangible product). We do have a travel fee applied to venues more than 45 miles from Chicago. We’ll be sure to calculate this and show it to you on your quote! The only other last fee would be a fee for parking if your venue can’t provide us parking for free.

Yes, we do. In fact, we love destination weddings!  Pricing for destination wedding DJ services is custom depending on the destination. Please contact us for a quote.
