@Copyright 2006; Music-By-Mitch DJ Productions; All Rights Reserved The following is a list of questions which you may have for me. If anything is still not covered, please call or email me!
Will you be the DJ for my event?
Of course! Music-By-Mitch is a one-man owner-operated outfit with only one DJ, that being me. That means that when you contact Music-By-Mitch, you will be talking to the DJ who will be at your event.
Can I meet you before I decide to hire you?
Yes! I want for you to have complete confidence in me so you will have one less worry on your mind on your big day. That is why I offer a free no-obligation consultation. We will discuss in detail the elements of your wedding and my role in the event. We will discuss extensively about the selection of ceremony music, the cocktail hour, and the reception music. The consultation will be from 1-2 hours and free of charge to you with no obligation to hire me
What style of DJ are you?
If you are looking for a flashy, flamboyant, DJ who talks constantly and is always trying to "pump up the crowd", then I suggest you do keep looking, that is simply not my style. However, if you want a DJ who will keep the event moving, make the necessary announcements necessary, and, of course, keep the music going, I may be who you are looking for. I do not wish to be the star of the show, after all, it is YOUR DAY. While I do make the important announcements that help keep your wedding reception or party on track, I keep my talking to a minimum. I prefer to be known for that I keep the music going. You will never hear a song completely fade out or have a break between songs. I am here to make sure you and your guests have a great time dancing to the music you requested.
Can you do both the ceremony and reception?
I sure can! On many occasions, I have done both events of a wedding. I have two systems that I bring to every wedding event, a small 300-watt system that serves as my ceremony system as well as my backup, and my large 1200-watt primary system that is used in the reception. Depending on the venue, I can transition from the ceremony to the reception in roughly 15 minutes if not less.
How will you dress?
When I arrive to the venue, I will be in neat, casual clothing for the time that I am setting up. As for the event, I will wear a nice neat conservative shirt, tie, and slacks. I do realize that many DJs wear tuxedos, especially for weddings, however, I chose not to. My reason is two-fold; One, I am more comfortable that way which enables me to do the job that you have hired me for that much better. Two, it also falls in line with my personal belief that I want to just be a part of the event, not the star of the event, after all, that is you! That being said, please know that should you desire that I wear a tux, all you have to do is request it and I will do so at no extra charge!
Are you flexible during the event?
Sure. I have done hundreds of wedding receptions and parties and the one thing I have learned is that it is rare that everything is on schedule or goes as such. If something has to be changed up, I can work with it and/or around it. I just go with the flow.
Do you have professional-grade equipment?
Yes, I do! Please refer to my equipment link for details
What if your equipment malfunctions?
Again, this is why I bring two systems to each event. I have a complete set of back-up equipment should any piece of equipment fail during a performance. I take special care that all my equipment is maintained assuring optimal peak performance.
Do you play requests?
Yes, as many as you and your guests' desire
Can we have a "don't play" list?
You bet! In fact, I would like to know beforehand what is on the "don’t play" list so I don’t play it. I believe it is more important to know what NOT to play than what to play. I take special care in not offending my clients or their guests with inappropriate selections.
Do you also act as emcee?
Certainly! This is the most important function of my job. Not only do I make announcements to keep the event flowing, I also coordinate with the photographer and caterer making sure they are in place before any event begins i.e.: Introductions, First Dance, Cutting of the cake etc.
Can you provide a microphone for our officiant?
I have performed at many weddings where the guests could not hear what was taking place so I have a lapel mike that he/she can use .
If we bring some of our CDs, can you play them?
Sure! There is an absolutely large selection of music available and everyone has different tastes. I work with you in organizing what you want to hear from your personal CD collection during the initial consultation.
How large is your music library?
Well, I estimate that I have over 5,000 song titles, you can click here to search my database. This is in the process in being completed and will be constantly updated.
