WEDDING DJ - FAQs

WHAT IS THE COST OF YOUR ALL INCLUSIVE DJ PACKAGE?

±R5 800

It will however depend on how far from Pretoria your function will take place. Venues within a 80 km radius from my home in Pretoria - travelling fees included.

HOW DO WE SECURE YOUR DJ SERVICES?

Contact, phone or Whatsapp me at (082) 650 0293 to confirm if I am available for your wedding or function date. If I am available, a non-refundable booking fee of R1 000 is required to secure your booking. This is on a first-come, first-served basis, as I reserve dates long in advance. The retainer will be deducted from your quoted package price. I will provide my banking details to you personally by email. No booking will be secured unless the booking fee has been received. The full outstanding balance must be paid at the latest 7 days before the function commences. All payments are to be paid into my bank account. This way you and I have a record of which payments have been made.

TRAVELLING COSTS AND BOOKING

Travelling costs are included in my DJ package. I may ask a travelling fee for far away functions in some areas, such as the northern Free State and Mpumalanga. The travelling fee will be discussed and agreed upon, depending on where your function is to be held. The travelling fee must be paid together with the booking fee of R1 000 in order to secure your booking. I provide my bank details on request to clients who wish to book me. Please save these details, as I only accept payment into my bank account. This way you and I have proof of all payments and of course its great for compiling tax returns!

HOW WILL YOU BE DRESSED ON OUR WEDDING DAY?

I always dress neatly in accordance with the occasion.

DO YOU HAVE ANY TIME RESTRICTIONS?

Morning weddings - until 18:00.

Afternoon weddings - until 00:00.

After 18:00 for morning functions or 00:00 for afternoon functions a R1 000 an hour fee is payable in cash. Please keep in mind that some venues do not allow the DJ to play music later than 00:00. You thus have to make arrangements with the venue beforehand!

IN WHICH AREAS DO YOU MOSTLY OPERATE?

Gauteng, Muldersdrift, North-West, Limpopo and Mpumalanga, but I am willing to play at other venues if my costs are met. Basically any venue within a 200km radius from Pretoria.

CAN WE MEET YOU BEFORE THE WEDDING?

You are welcome to visit me, but we can do everything online these days! I will upload the file and all your songs into OneDrive and invite you to your own personal folder. This way you can verify everything in your file and even listen to your music choices! A Whatsapp video call is also very handy and will save you a lot of time!

CAN YOU PROVIDE SOUND AND MUSIC AT THE CHAPEL AS WELL?

Yes, it is included in my package, as long as the chapel/church is located at the same venue as the reception/function. I will also play your song of choice on entering the chapel, venue, etc.

DO YOU PROVIDE A MICROPHONE?

Yes, I have a wireless Shure microphone, which is available for the marriage officer, master of ceremonies, groom, etc. A backup microphone is also always available. Three wireless Shure microphones are available if needed.

DO YOU ALLOW ARTISTS OR BANDS TO PLAY OVER YOUR SOUND SYSTEM?

Unfortunately not. Equipment such as cables, amplifiers, etc may differ and cause damage to my equipment. One or two persons who wish to sing a song or two during the ceremony or reception is not a problem, as I can provide an extra microphone and mike stand, if so arranged with me before the function.

DO YOU ASSIST ARTISTS OR BANDS WITH EQUIPMENT ON THE DAY?

Unfortunately not. One or two persons who wish to sing a song or two during the ceremony or reception is not a problem, as I can provide an extra microphone and mike stand, if so arranged with me before the function. Artists and bands are however responsible to provide and use their own equipment, such as cables, leads, stands, speakers, microphones, mixers, DI boxes, etc. Each artist or band is responsible to bring and use their own equipment. It is NOT my responsibility to supply them with equipment.

DO YOU PLAY REQUESTS FROM GUESTS DURING THE EVENING?

Yes, if you as the client do not mind and it fits in with the atmosphere. Your choice of songs, for example your entrance song, opening of the dance floor, etc are also played, as discussed with me before the time.

ARE YOU A MEMBER OF SAMRO AND SAMPRA MUSIC ORGANIZATIONS?

Yes, I am!

SAMRO is the South African Music Right Organization. Most people don't know this but every DJ must have a valid SAMRO license to publicly play music at any function in South Africa. Therefore, if a SAMRO official shows up at your venue to do random inspections, no problems will be encountered.
