Q&A With Dr. Beat Productions
Mar 01, 2012 01:34 PM Back
Q: How much are your services?
Our rates depend upon a number of factors including type of event, location, and type of setup. We encourage you to call (631) 473-2788 to schedule an in person or telephone consultation with us to learn more about our available packages and current offers. We can custom tailor packages to fit almost every budget.

Q: Is setup and take down time included in your price? Yes. If you are on a 6 hour package, then that means six hours of performance time. You will never be asked to pay anything beyond our contracted rate. Once again we cover all setup and take down costs.

Q: What happens at my final planning meeting? Your consultation occurs between 2 and 4 weeks before your event. At that event, you will meet with your selected or assigned DJ. The meeting can occur at your home,  our office, or the location of your event. You and our staff will discuss every single detail of your event including expectations, music, pronunciations of names, and order of events.

Q: Do you take breaks? No. We will perform continuously throughout the night. From our scheduled start time until your party is over, the music will be playing (unless of course you request a break for some other reason). Our computerized playback equipment allows for continuous music flow.

Q: Can we choose the music to be played at our event? Our services are based solely upon what you want them to be. We have learned that keeping your crowd alive depends on a lot of things including the type of music, type of mix, DJ/MC personality, atmosphere, etc but not just the music. You can supply us with a comprehensive list of songs to play, some requests, or a list of songs not to play. It is all up to you. Also, we will always leave room for last minute requests from your family & guests.

Q: Can we have a "do not play" list? Yes. For many clients, this is extremely important. You may tell us to not play specific songs or even a type of music. If you tell us not to, feel confident that we won't play it.

Q: What if we want a song that you don't have? Our music collection spans thousands of songs from several decades. Often a client will want a song that is somewhat obscure and we may not have it. If this is the case, then we will purchase the song at our expense. In addition, we have full access to the internet at every party. In the event that we do not have a song, we can download the song live at your event.

Q: How loud do you play the music? One of the greatest concerns of bands and DJs is that the music is too loud. This will not be the case with our services. During your cocktail and dinner hours we will play soft and relaxing background music. We will make sure that your guests can hear both themselves talking and the background music. When it comes time for dance music we will adjust the levels accordingly, but would never create an uncomfortable environment due to too high of sound level.

Q: Do you have backup equipment? Our DJ Systems are fully stocked with back up gear to ensure the music keeps going. Our equipment and staff are the best in the industry. In the rare event that something should fail, it can be easily fixed or switched in such a way that is transparent to you and your guests. Backup staff is also always available.

Q: Do you provide a light show? All wedding event quotes include our basic dance-floor light show. We offer a myriad of other lighting options from color Kinetic uplighting to our NYC night club lighting packages. Give us a call any time or check out some of recent events online. We can make any vision that you may have become reality or set any mood that can be created using today's state of the art lighting techniques.

Q: How interactive are your DJs? This is another great concern of all customers. The answer is simple: are DJs are as interactive as you want them to be. They can be background figures that keep the attention on the bridal party, completely outgoing, or any level that you desire. We are professional entertainers and can handle your requests without a problem. We will always use our skills professionally and never steal the spotlight.

Q: How experienced are your entertainers? All our entertainers are carefully selected and trained under our comprehensive training program. Our DJs surpass the competition. We take pride in providing quality service to all our customers. We consider our staff the best in the industry. Most others in this area are not even in the same league.

Q: Will my DJ be drinking at my event? Our company does not allow any of our entertainers to consume alcohol before or during any event. We are strict on this policy and you have nothing to worry about.

Q: Can we meet the actual DJ before signing the contract? This is another common question. We have a dedicated staff of DJs who take their job very seriously. The assignment of your event staff will be based largely upon your specific event requirements and in accordance with staff availability. Your DJ/MC will usually meet with you prior to your party to discuss the details of your event including expectations, music, pronunciations of names, and order of event.

Q: Can we come view a live event? This question is common. Due to our policies and commitment to current clientele, we usually do not allow prospective customers at other events. That being said, arrangements can sometimes be made to accommodate such requests.

Q: How far do you travel? We commonly serve areas within 2-3 hours of our Long Island offices.

Q: Are you insured? Yes, we are fully insured. You and your guests are protected by our service. If your catering hall requires an insurance certificate from your vendors, please let us know and we will fax or e-mail a copy to their office.

Q: Does the DJ expect tipping/gratuity? While it is common to tip the wedding vendor industry, it is by no means mandatory. If your DJ surpasses your expectations and you wish to tip, we will accept tips as a great compliment.

Q: What is the deposit and when is the final payment due? We require a signed agreement and a small percentage deposit to reserve your date. The remaining balance must be paid prior to your event in accordance with our contract terms. We also offer monthly payment options.

Q: How early should we book? The sooner the better. Our most popular dates often fill up over a year in advance. Be prepared to book as early as 6-12 months prior to your event. However, some dates are still available at later dates. If you are running on short notice, please contact our staff via phone so we may assist you. Do not make entertainment your last decision; try to make your final decision as soon as possible.

Q: Is there sales tax or other fees added to your service cost? No. There is no sales tax on our services. Your contracted rate is what you pay.
