Absolutely not, we tailor our playlists and the musical atmosphere to your style while using our expertise.
What is your usual attire?
Formal - sharp suits, properly groomed, no shinny vests or clip-on ties ;]
If you do not have one of the songs pre-requested by the client, do you require that they provide it?
As record junkies and professional DJs we have amassed over 75k songs and counting. If you want / need a particular song, chances are we already have it in our library and if we don't we will make sure we do before your big day as long as you provide us with an artist and song title.
How many other DJs do you work with?
As an owner-operated DJ company, we feature FULL-TIME DJs and Event Hosts with a support staff of over 15 pros. (Light technicians, roadies, candid photographers, audio/visual techs, etc) Our wedding celebrations always include a 2-man team.
Is the client able to meet the DJ before booking?
Absolutely, you will meet your DJ / Event Host from day one, we do not have any sales staff, there is no runaround or bait-and-switch techniques at BNEG. We pride ourselves in building a friendship with our clients so we make ourselves available to you via phone, email, Skype, and face-to-face consultations throughout the entire planning process. You will be able to communicate with your Personal DJ as many times as possible!
Do you specialize in any ethnic or international events?
We can cater to any ethnic background and we specialize in Latin weddings as two of our owners / event hosts are fluent in Spanish.
Can the client submit a do-not-play list?
Of course! This is an key part of the planning process. We get to know you and your likes and dislikes and we will honor your do-not-play list without any reservation or hesitation. We will politely manage any requests with the utmost respect for your vision and style.
Do you bring your own equipment?
Yes, every BNEG DJ owns his own equipment and we offer back-up sound equipment (CD Players, Mixers, Microphones and Speakers) at every event in the very unlikely occurrence of equipment failure.
What (if any) special equipment, such as lighting, photobooths, is offered with your service?
True Intelligent lighting (programmed specifically for your event), HD TV Displays, LED Uplighting, Monogram Projection, Live musicians for Ceremony/Cocktail hour. Percussionists and Guitarists to perform alongside our DJs. All our event production options / enhancements are offered on a-la-carte basis, you are free to pick any and all the options in our portfolio.
How much time do you usually need to set up?
We generally require a minimum of 1 hour to setup our equipment. Times vary by the options / offerings selected such as lighting, HD Plasma displays, etc.
Do you have a sign or banner that you use at events?
NO - thats a BIG no! We find them tacky and tasteless, the crowd's attention should be on you not on our DJ booth.
Do you usually emcee the event or talk between songs?
We use a modern approach to our Emcee duties, no cheesy hype chatter, we will perform all the necessary announcements and refrain from overusing the microphone, we will not dance with your guests, we will not make them uncomfortable and force them to do a line dance nor will we sing for you and your guests. We do our best to keep the spotlight on YOU.
What is your policy on taking breaks? / If you require a meal break, do you require that the client provide your meal? We do not require breaks, there is always a staff member at the DJ booth to oversee the event in the case one of our other team members needs to step out to speak with your venue staff. Meals are not required but certainly appreciated.
Will you arrange for recorded music to play during your breaks?
You will always have music playing even when one of our staff members needs to step away from the DJ booth.
What is your backup plan in case you become unavailable on the day of the event?
We have an emergency DJ for the very unlikely chance that your personal DJ / Event Host is unavailable. Should there be an acute family emergency or health issue you will be notified well in advance. We truly care about your celebration and we will do everything in our power to make your event a memorable one.
Do you charge for travel expenses? / If yes, how much do you charge?
Travel fees vary on location and are only applied to events outside of our normal coverage area.
What is the required retainer to secure your services?
Generally we take a 50% Retainer for most celebrations, but this can vary with the contracted options.
