1. Are we guaranteed the DJ of our choice on the day of our event?

• A written contract with your specific DJ Protects you from unscrupulous operators.
• JBDJ always utilizes a contract to protect our clients.

2. How many years of experience do you have?

• Experience brings a knowledge of common problems and situations. Be sure your DJ has experience with your type of event.
• Jack has been entertaining at and producing events for more than 30 years! It is because of this experience, we eliminate most problems before they ever happen!

3. May we call references?

• References are a major part of the entertainment business.
• We'll be happy to provide contact information for others who will be more than willing to share their experience with our company at their event.

4. Do you belong to any professional associations or trade groups?

• An involved business person shows a willingness to learn, network, and share ideas. Belonging to a professional trade group reflects a caring attitude.
• We are national members of the ADJA and a founding member of the Michigan chapter, where Jack is currently serving as membership director. We are also members of the ProDJ, WeDJ, DJGold, and DJchat professional DJ national forums and are members of the Highland Business Association as well as Tradefirst.com and Metro Trading!

5. Will you allow requests?

• Requests should be welcome. If a song seems inappropriate, a good DJ will explain the reason and ask for an alternative selection.
• JBDJ always discusses this with our clients during the planning session and welcomes requests as long as the client wants us to do so. We are supplied music via a subscription service (just like radio stations do). Even though we have and use the "cleanest" edits available, sometime we'll have to refrain from playing certain tracks due to content. We always ask for an alternative suggestion.

6. How early will you be there to set up?

• An average of 60 minutes should be allowed for setup and sound check. Normally, there is no charge for this service.
• Your JBDJ team prefers to arrive at the venue at least 90 minutes before our scheduled starting time to assure that everything is ready when your guests walk through the door.

7. How will you be dressed?

• Proper attire reflects a positive image to your guests.
• As a rule, we wear tuxedos for wedding receptions but we dress to please, so if you'd prefer business or casual, we'll gladly comply!

8. Are you insured?

• Insurance is part of any legitimate business. Liability and casualty policies protect yourself, your guests and the DJ company.
• JBDJ has a 2 million dollar liability policy with Fireman's Fund Insurance Co. We've never needed to use it but it's comforting to know it's there!

9. Do you use professional gear?

• Using professional sound equipment helps insure reliable service and quality presentation.
• JBDJ has quality equipment that is second to none including the latest high tech digital music systems, UHF wireless microphones, and awesome sound systems by JBL. It doesn't get any better!

10. Will you provide an emergency back-up system at our event?

• Weddings are often once in a lifetime opportunities. A back-up system protects your investment.
• Even though our systems are reliable and designed to have redundant features built-in, we always bring spare equipment -- just in case. We think your event is too important to take any chances!
