Question 1

What are your prices?

Accepted Answer

We try our best to work within most budgets. Our pricing typically ranges from $2,750 to $5,000, depending on factors like the number of hours we're booked to play music, the amount of sound equipment needed, and any additional services you choose, such as uplighting or a photobooth. On average, our clients spend around $3600 for our services. Rates are also discounted for off peak and non-weekend dates.

Question 2

Can we have input in what songs are played?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We love getting as much input as possible from every couple and client we work with. The more music choices you share, the more your event will reflect your unique tastes and feel like YOUR party. Do we expect you to hand us a list of 500 songs in the exact order you want them played? Definitely not. The fun for us is in collaborating with you. Share all the songs you love and we’ll work our magic. Think of it like solving a musical Tetris puzzle—figuring out where everything fits to create a seamless mix you’ll love. Plus, with your requests as our guide, we’ll have a great sense of other tracks to sprinkle in along the way.

Question 3

Do you take requests from guests?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Our setlist for the night is entirely customized to your preferences. We’ll have in-depth conversations about your music choices, and you’ll also have access to our music app, where you can handpick the songs you want (and don’t want) to hear. This gives us a solid foundation to accommodate on-the-fly requests from your guests. Rest assured, though—if a song is on your “Do Not Play” list, we’ll kindly and politely decline those requests. Your vision always comes first!

Question 4

Do you provide music for wedding ceremonies and cocktail hour?

Accepted Answer

Definitely! We can provide additional music and sound equipment for both the ceremony and cocktail hour. For the ceremony, we’ll also have a microphone available for the officiant and anyone else speaking during the service. Music will begin playing as your guests arrive, setting the perfect atmosphere from the start.

Question 5

Do you MC the party as well?

Accepted Answer

Yes! All of our DJs also serve as the MC. Someone needs to help guide the party, and that's where we step in. For key moments like the first dance, toasts, or introductions, we handle those with elegance and style. But we like to let the music do most of the talking. When the music is great, it speaks for itself, and your guests will have an unforgettable time. No one wants to be shouted at, so we steer clear of over-the-top or pushy MC tactics.

Question 6

Do you provide other services, such as lighting or photo booths?

Accepted Answer

We do! We have lots of lighting and photobooth options. We also have a wide range of live musicians for the ceremony and cocktail hour and even some that can play along WITH the DJ during the dinner/dance reception.

Question 7

How early do you come to set up?

Accepted Answer

We typically arrive 2-3 hours before guests to ensure everything runs smoothly. This gives us plenty of time to set up in all the areas we’ll be playing music—ceremony space, cocktail area, dinner/dance room—perform a sound check on all equipment, get changed, and be fully ready to rock when your guests arrive!

Question 8

Are you insured?

MD Music and Entertainment, Inc. is fully insured containing Comprehensive General Liability Insurance, with up to $2,000,000 per each occurrence and a $2,000,000 annual aggregate for liability, as well as Workers Compensation Insurance for statutory limits and Employers Liability Insurance up to $1,000,000 for each occurrence.
