(and questions you should ask other vendors)

Q. What makes Rent-A-DJ better than other services?

Two things make Rent-A-DJ stand out from the rest. Our Customer Service & Our Price. We know everyone is looking for good deal. We keep our prices reasonable and our service superior. We are a family owned and family operated business. We take a personal interest in every event we perform at. We know and understand how important the entertainment is at your event. We do not take this role lightly and we feel it is a privilege and a honor to be a part of your day. When you meet with our entertainment specialists, you will meet your actual entertainer. We will not send someone else or some other company to your event. We want your event to be YOURS tailored to your specific needs. We will not tell you what you need, we will ask you what you want. How many companies will do that?

Q. Are you a "full-time" entertainment service?

Yes we are. If you call our office, you actually talk to a person. Others claim to be "full-time" and they are not. If you call their office, you get their answering machine or voice mail. Some "full-time" services have office staff, regular business hours, etc. While other "full-time" services only work "part-time", when they want to. Our office is staffed "full-time". Kelly is in the office all day, everyday. Our office is in our home, which makes being there for our clients much easier. We take this business very seriously. Rent-A-DJ was not started as a hobby, but as a full-time full service entertainment company. 

Q. Are your entertainers employees or independent contractors?

This is a great question and one you should ask any service you are considering. All Rent-A-DJ personnel are direct employees. This means we do not sub-contract with other DJ services. Our employee's are exclusive to Rent-A-DJ and use only Rent-A-DJ maintained equipment. Many companies use independent contractors to save them money on taxes and insurance. By definition an independent contractor is someone who is contracted to provide a service and not a direct employee. Their actions are not controlled by company standards and their equipment may or may not meet the standards the company advertises. Independent contractors also are free to come and go as they choose. This means you might select one entertainer for your event, but another entertainer may show up. Ask the service you are considering do they 1099 or W-2 their personnel? A 1099 is a sub-contractor while a W-2 is an employee. You will be surprised by the answers you get.  

Q. Do you have insurance?

We carry $1,000,000 liability insurance and equipment insurance. Many banquet facilities today will not allow services like ours into their facility without liability insurance. This protects us and YOU. A company without liability insurance causes you to become responsible in the event anything happens because you hired them. We take that responsibility so you don't have to.

Q. Do you carry backup equipment on site?

We bring backup equipment to every event we perform. Our background originated in the pro-sound and lighting industry. We have travels across the country engineering many productions. Things happen from time to time, and we have become experts at trouble-shooting and repair on the fly. We primarily DJ with a computer, but we carry our CD's, just incase. We want your day to be perfect, and we do not want to be responsible for any disappointments. This is also the primary reason we send 2 entertainers to most events. Just incase.

Q. How do you obtain your music? Do you download from the internet?

We have several professional music subscriptions with companies such as Entertainment Resources Group and TM Century. We receive new music on a weekly basis. This is the same music radio stations are receiving and this keeps our library current. We then convert the music on CD to the highest quality MP3 format. We do not download music off the internet from illegal web sites. This is an important question to ask any DJ. If this is how they obtain their music regularly, stay away from them.

Q. Are there any extra charges or hidden fees?

Absolutely not! We really only offer 1 package, our best package. This includes all setup and take down time, full light show, wireless microphone, full music library, bubbles, fog, etc. We always arrive at least 90 minutes before the event is scheduled to begin. This allows for complete setup and makes for a very pleasant atmosphere when your guests arrive. We believe since we are already there, there is no need to charge for the extra's. All prices are quoted up front and do not change. 

Q. What will you wear to my event?

We perform at most events in formal or semi-formal attire unless instructed otherwise.

Q. Can I choose my own music?

Absolutely! This is your event, who are we to tell you what you can or can not listen to. We meet with all our clients about 30 days prior to their event to finalize all the details. If you do not have any preferences, then of course, we will do what you hired us to do. We read the audience, and play the appropriate music at the appropriate levels. Our ultimate goal is to keep the dance floor full ALL night long. If you have music you do not want to hear, rest assured, you will not hear it. Likewise, if you have music you must hear, you will hear it!

Q. Do you take requests?

Absolutely, unless instructed otherwise. We place on every table a request form for your guests to complete. We ask your guests to return the form to the entertainer with their requests. This also helps us to determine the tastes of music your guests like and want to hear.

Q. What is your alcohol consumption policy?

We have a NO ALCOHOL consumption policy, PERIOD. We will not consume any alcohol at your event. We are there to entertain for you and your guests. We are also there to make sure everyone has a fun and safe time. Most people are not allowed to consume alcohol on their job, and neither are we. We do not need alcohol to be entertaining.

Q. Do you have references?

Yes, we have many references who would be happy to tell you about the job we have done. We send each client at the end of their event an evaluation. We want our clients to be honest and rate us. This is the only way we will be able to improve our service. We will be happy to show you any of the evaluations we have when we meet in our office. You may also look at some samples of our references on our testimonies page.
