For outdoor events photography/video must stop immediately in the event of rain. Your photographer’s/videographer’s camera and lenses are very expensive and they can not get wet!

Your assigned DJ and or photographer/videographer will (all) contact you the week of your event to introduce themselves and double check that all of the information you have submitted is correct and make any changes as needed. Be sure to ask your photographer about any desired editing and printing upgrades you are interested in.

Unless we are personally performing please have your venue provide a power outlet and a STRONG table against the wall at one end or side of the dance floor with a table cloth to match your decor. This table will be holding about 100 LBS of professional DJ equipment!

A deposit (booking fee) is required to book this date and serves as our fee. It is non refundable but is transferable to any other date with a 2 week notice. Your subcontracted DJ and/or photographer/videographer will be paid in cash direct by you or your designated agent at the start of your event unless other arrangements have been made in advance. Checks are not accepted as final payment!

*We are not responsible for any acts of GOD, nature, or lack of enough power that cause us to be unable to complete our performance. If it is an outdoor venue the client is to furnish sufficient shelter to keep the DJ and equipment out of the elements. Under no circumstances will he/she perform in an uncovered area. The client is responsible for the conduct of all guests. Should a guest become overbearing the event will pause for up to 15 minutes while the client handles the situation. Your DJ is NOT the babysitter for your guests or their children. In the event that the safety of your DJ, Photographer, videographer, or their equipment continue to be compromised the performance will then end and the contract will be considered completed. No refunds are given nor implied.

Tips are at the sole discretion of the client.

Although we are insured, we nor your sub-contracted vendors are not responsible for any injuries incurred by guests at any venue ... please inform parents that they are responsible to keep their children away from the DJ and DJ equipment.  (most of our speakers weigh at least 50 pounds AND OUR LIGHTS GET VERY HOT!)
