FAQ
Are you insured? Can you supply me with proof of liability?
Yes! We are insured and can show proof of liability!
Many responsible business owners carry liability insurance to protect their businesses and the consumer. Many locations are beginning to require proof of liability. Ask for proof of liability insurance. Disc Jockey’s receive a Certificate of Liability, which can be used as proof.
Will you be willing to play requests and discuss music ahead of time?
Yes! We communicate very well with our clients and plan music ahead of time and take requests. There are thousands of songs to choose from in our library that are downloaded legally. Your DJ should to listen to your suggestions, give you feedback and play from your desired song list. We also accept the fact you may not want certain songs played. Communication is the most important part of our job! This is why we ask you many questions, to learn more about you and your taste in music. We also meet with you, as many times are needed. Please feel free to call or email too!
Do you use Professional Equipment?
Yes! In fact, we use the most professional equipment around. With brand names like Mackie, Yamaha, Behringer, Shure, Hercules, Technics, Apple, and others, you will be more than satisfied with the sound and lighting at your event! Some events require subwoofers as this adds even more warmth and bass to the sound. Most events require 2 to 4 speakers, 2 MacBooks, and one mixer. Ask whether your prospective DJ works with professional equipment. If you are not sure, ask for their equipment list and check with a local music company such as Guitar Center or Beacock Music.
Do you provide backup equipment at my event?
Yes! We have two of everything. Sometimes more! Although equipment failure is rare, do you really want your special occasion ruined because your DJ did not come prepared? We always make what we call our own “Plan B” system for the day of your event regarding rain, excessive heat, snow; you name it we plan for it!
Do you know the proper etiquette for all different kinds of events?
Yes! WE NEVER drink alcohol at an event; we will treat your guests with the utmost respect, and work hard to make your event the best it can possibly be. A professional music entertainment company will assist you with the planning of your special day. Most professional entertainers will coordinate, emcee and provide the music that you desire. We have coordinated almost every kind of event imaginable, especially in Portland where we have planned many unique events!
How much time do you allow for set-up?
Punctuality is a necessity. We arrive anywhere from 2 hours before any guest would arrive to 5 hours before guests arrive, depending on the service or package we are providing for your event.
Do you provide a written contract?
It is extremely important to have your booking confirmed in writing. We require you to sign our contract that has been drafted by a professional. The standard initial payment for entertainment services is 30% of the total amount.
How do you dress for each event?
Specify the type of apparel that would like for us to wear. We can dress how you prefer, whether it’s a tux for Simon and a formal gown for Meagan, or a suit and tie for Simon and a black cocktail dress for Meagan. Formal attire or coat and tie are the most popular forms of attire. If you are having a “themed” event, make sure your entertainer is informed.
Do you belong to a professional organization or trade group?
Yes! We belong to many organizations, groups, and networks and are continuing to join networks that fit our goal and mission in this industry. Some organizations out there are just a little too “cookie cutter” for our taste. We really do treat every event different and customize everything to your own taste. Although belonging to an organization or trade group does not guarantee the talent or professionalism of a a DJ or business, it may indicate the company’s willingness to network, learn and grow. We belong to wedding networks, event groups, co-ops, and business chambers. It is absolutely necessary that we network and continue to grow our business and stay in the know of new trends in our industry!
How many songs does the client choose?
We prefer the client chooses about 50% of the songs. We ask our clients to fill our event forms, which tells us what kind of playlist to put together and have them choose the songs they most want to hear at their event and help them choose what times to play the songs. We give our clients many examples of play lists that current and help in the planning process. The music sets the mood, creates an ambiance, and is one of the most memorable elements of your event, so we help you choose the best songs for your event.
Do we offer an online wedding planner through our website?
We don’t offer that generic planner that almost every DJ Company has, because there is nothing unique about it. Instead we go further, we have made our own forms, which you can use online or print out and start a binder (we encourage doing both). The forms are compatible with all operating systems and are in PDF format. We go beyond just a timesheet; we actually put together a professional “Cue Sheet” that we can provide for all your vendors the day of your event or wedding. Most importantly we work with your venue, caterer, and wedding planner (if you have one) and all other vendors that will be there the day of your event on the Cue Sheet so we are all on “Cue” and things run smoothly. You get this because we have a background in concert production and theater production.
Are you licensed to do business?
Yes! We are licensed in Washington and Oregon. In Washington you can find our Master Business License for the LLC.
Do I have to feed my vendors including my DJ?
This is something you really should talk out with each vendor. Most vendors will not turn down food because we need energy from food. However, some vendors might be on a “wedding food” diet! We usually require to be fed at weddings and other events because we will often spend up to 10 hours at the event site. We have seen some vendors pull out a sack lunch at events and it looks tacky!
How can you charge under $1000 for wedding and still do this business/industry full-time and make a living wage?
There is a myth that the few DJ’s in the area have started, and this is accusing music entertainers and directors as ourselves at MEGA Music who do not charge over $1000 for many weddings are either subcontracting or really don’t do this full time. Please let me explain: because we can produce concerts and productions we are able to work all year round. Weddings and events tend to consume the months from the end of April to the end of September in Portland. We then see more weddings and corporate events and holiday parties from November to the beginning of January. For most DJ’s this is it! MEGA Music Entertainment works all 12 months out of the year and are successful! You can trust us and we will work with your budget!
