We do not include gratuity in the final contract price. 10-15% is generally recommended if your DJ did a great job, but it is entirely up to you.

Q: How Many Songs Should I Request?

You can select songs that you would like to hear at your event (as well as songs you don’t want to hear) through our online planning system. You will receive login information for that system in an email with your contract. The number of songs you request is totally up to you! We recommend giving your DJ at least 10-15 songs of different genres and artists that you would like to hear. A few songs/artists that you don’t want to hear is always helpful as well. If you end up requesting a lot of songs, just keep in mind the time constraints of your event. During your consultation with your DJ they will ask about your music preferences.

Q: Should We Feed The DJ?

This is not required in our contract and is completely up to you. Typically, the catering director or event coordinator will set aside a meal or boxed dinner for the DJ if requested by the client.

Q: When Should I Book My DJ?

A good time frame is at least six months before the event. However, we have DJs available for last minute events as well. Click here to check date availability.

Q: What Are Your Payment Terms?

All we need to get started from you is a deposit. That deposit holds your date and is taken out of the final balance. Then the remaining balance is due two weeks before the event date. We try to make all of the payments as simple as possible. So you’re free to use debit, credit, or an old fashioned paper check to make all of your payments.

Q: What DJ Equipment Do You Use?

DJ equipment is the hallmark of an any event or wedding DJ. It’s also not something anyone booking a professional DJ service should have to worry about, but unfortunately, the reality of planning an event is that you need to know your vendor’s professionalism ahead of time. A DJ is only as good as their gear. They may be the best at mixing music, but if the DJ equipment is an eyesore and their speakers crackle, no one remembers transitions. They remember how the sounds hurt their ears and the DJ set-up was unsightly. That’s why at Ever After Entertainment, we only use cutting-edge equipment. No intrusive wires or busted speakers. Ever After Entertainment set-ups look as good as they sound.
