FAQ’s
Why should we choose a CHOICE DJ?
You should choose us because we provide the best DJ service in the Middle Tennessee area. We pay attention to every detail and make every effort to make every event we do absolutely perfect. We hire and train the best talent, and provide them with the tools to be great DJs.
Another important point is that our DJs are there to make you look good, not to make themselves look good. No egos, showboating or embarrassing behavior; just a professional in place to serve you.
Truly, the DJ might be the most critical decision one can make when planning a party. We believe you cannot find a higher quality DJ service in the region. We hope to have the opportunity to work with you.
How far ahead should we book your service?
It depends upon the date. Some clients choose to contract a year or more in advance, while some are comfortable waiting until several months prior. Saturdays are the busiest nights, so waiting too long to hire a DJ (or any service) for a Saturday night might lead to disappointment.
Do you use a contract?
Absolutely. You should get a written contract from all of your event services. No professional service operates without written contracts, and if a potential service tells you that you don’t need one, turn and run!
Do you charge for travel?
Travel charges depend upon the circumstances, which is part of why we customize packages for each client. We are negotiable.
Can we choose the music?
Absolutely. It’s your party! While we are happy to make suggestions, you have total control over the music that is played at your event. We have clients who choose every single song to be played; we have clients who leave it entirely up to us, and everything in between.
What time will your DJ arrive?
Typically our DJs arrive 1 to 2 hours before start time to insure proper setup and system integrity. We check microphones and music levels while guests are not present in order to not disturb any part of the celebration.
Do you have any current music?
We update our music library every week, so we always have the most current music. Please let us know if you have specific songs or artists you want played at your event.
Can we bring our own music?
Many of our clients bring their own CDs or iPods. We are happy to play any music you wish to provide in addition to our normal library of choices. Should there be a special song you need that we don’t have, we will attempt to locate and purchase that song for you.
Can we change our time closer to our date?
Typically, we can make minor adjustments to the start and end times of your event. We understand that plans can sometimes change at the last minute, and we try to be as accommodating as possible.
Will my DJ help with announcements?
Our DJs come equipped with a wireless microphone and are happy to make announcements and help coordinate activities at your event. We plan these activities and announcements with you ahead of time so there are no surprises or disappointments at your event.
What kind of personality will my DJ have?
Your DJ can be as interactive or reserved as you wish. He is trained to be professional, friendly, courteous and helpful. Additionally, they are trained to handle your event to your specifications.
What will my DJ wear?
Unless directed otherwise, our DJs wear semi-formal attire (jacket, tie, dress shoes & slacks). We can put your DJ in a tuxedo, if desired, but we do not recommend it, as the DJ ends up looking like they are in the wedding party.
What kind of equipment do you use?
Choice DJs uses pro-quality sound equipment. We can provide pictures if needed.
How long have you been in business?
We have been performing in the Nashville area for more than12 years.
Can we meet our DJ?
We actually recommend meeting with your DJ to get to know his personality and go over specific details for your event.
What do you need the facility to provide for you?
All we need is one 5 to 6 foot table with a table cloth/skirt.
Do you require visiting the venue before my event?
We’ve worked in every possible situation and can utilize virtually any room or area, however having us survey the area is completely up to you.
Do we need to feed the DJ?
Our DJs do not expect a meal at your event. At longer events, or events that run through a typical mealtime, DJs appreciate an offer of food, but it is not expected. In truth, caterers typically offer the DJ some food regardless of what our client does. In any case, if your DJ is offered a meal, it will be consumed quickly and discreetly.
How much should I tip the DJ?
Tipping is not expected, but our DJs do work hard to provide you with the best possible event and appreciate any show of recognition that you might deem appropriate. Tips typically range from 10% or 20% to “wow, you were incredible and we’ll never forget this night!”
