Absolutely! We encourage all of our clients to provide us with any suggestions or songs they would like to have played at the event. We also suggest a "Do not play" list which would name songs, artists or genres that we will not play at your event.
Does the DJ also act as the MC for the event?
In most cases yes. We provide Master of ceremonies for events and our involvement in this can be adjusted based on how interactive you would like the DJ to be vocally. In a high energy, heavily involved event we can provide a separate master of ceremonies and the DJ would provide only the music for the event.
If I decide to book with Vivid Events what is the next step?
We will send you a contract that outlines all the details of the event. You would review the contract and send it back to us with the deposit. Once the deposit is received the date is officially booked. You will also receive a client guide which takes you through the next steps after booking.
Do you have a backup sound system?
Yes. At every event a backup sound system is onsite
Does the DJ have an assistant or additional staff at the event?
In some cases yes. Additional staff may be necessary to assist in setup, breakdown and the overall flow of the event. Please check with us before your event and we can provide you with what staff will be attending.
Do we need to provide a meal for the DJ and other Vivid Events staff?
The DJ & any additional staff are typically at the event hours before your guests arrive and have limited resources to obtaining a meal. A meal is greatly appreciated.
I'd like to meet the DJ. Is that possible?
Yes. Please contact us and we will be happy to schedule a consultation.
I'd like to see the DJ perform at an event. Is that possible?
It is somewhat difficult to meet the DJ at an event since the majority of our events are private and by invitation only. There may be an opportunity for you to visit before these events start to see our setup and equipment.
How far in advance to I need to book?
As soon as you have your event location and date you should book soon afterwards. Some clients book us well over a year before there event. You do not want to limit your options by waiting to late. Always contact us to see if we have availability even if your event is right around the corner.
Do you have any sample playlists or planning forms?
Yes! Our clients are provided with planning tools and samples. All of our forms are located online and available to our clients.
Are you available for the date of my event?
It all depends on our availability for your specific date. To check availability please contact us by using a contact link on this website, e-mail or phone.
Where can I find your pricing?
Pricing is available by contacting us with your event details. Most inquiries are responded to within a few hours during normal business hours.
How can I secure the date for my event?
We would provide you with a contract that outlines the details and agreement of your event. You would sign the contract and send it back with your deposit. Once the contract and deposit are received the date is officially booked.
How much do you require upfront as a deposit?
A 30% deposit is due to reserve the equipment and date.
When is the remaining balance due?
We require the remaining balance 10 days before the event date.
If an event is carrying a large balance after the original deposit a second deposit may be required as well.
How early do you come to setup for the event?
It depends on how much setup is involved. For most events we arrive 2 hours before the scheduled start time. For larger setups we most likely will need to arrive earlier. We can arrange setup times directly with our clients to ensure proper load in.
