Words of wisdom.

Oy vey. What an overwhelming experience this whole thing can be. Relax. We've been doing this for quite a while now, and we've become pretty good at answering all kinds of questions and handling unusual challenges. Below we've addressed some of the most popular ones. If you have a question that's not answered here, please email it to us at info@djusa.com. We'll quickly send you a response.

What sets your company apart from others?
More than two decades of experience performing at more bar/bat mitzvahs than any other company in New England uniquely positions us as the leader in the region.

Who are your disc jockeys?
Our company is comprised of seasoned performers who have an enormous amount of bar/bat mitzvah entertainment experience. Relative to the amount of receptions at which we perform every year, our staff is rather small. This is by design; having fewer DJs allows us to keep the quality of our performances very high. And because we don't have a lot of DJs, each one is constantly performing, which keeps their skills sharp at all times.

I'm going to need a lot of guidance as I plan my celebration. Can you help?
One of the most important services we offer, which is part of every entertainment package, is the assistance of our event coordination staff. We'll help you carefully plan every detail. And if you're looking for interesting ideas to make your reception particularly distinctive, we've got plenty to suggest.

How far in advance should I reserve my date?
We generally begin booking dates anywhere from one to two years in advance. Since we can only perform at a limited amount of receptions per weekend, we strongly recommend that you contact us as soon as possible to check on the availability status of your date.

Our cocktail hour is going to be in a separate room from the reception. Is that a problem?
That’s no problem at all. We often play in facilities in which we have to move the sound system to several different locations during the course of the evening. That’s one of the reasons that our sound systems have been designed to be extremely light and portable. Your DJ can transport the entire set-up in just a few minutes.

What if we want to hear a song that’s not on the playlist?
Beyond what you see on the playlist, we have a master music library that contains more than 50,000 songs. So, if you don’t see a particular selection, there’s a good chance that it’s in our library. Or, if you'd like us to use music from your own collection, we can do that, as well.

How much choice do I have in the music selection?
As much as you'd like. Occasionally folks decide to hand-pick each and every song that's played at their reception, which is perfectly fine, but it's not necessary. We'll ask you to highlight as many specific songs and genres that you like to hear and ask you lots of questions about your preferences. With this information, we'll craft a custom-designed music menu for your reception.

Do you play guests' requests?
That's completely up to you. If it's okay, we'll play whatever your guests want to hear. In fact, your DJ will bring a large song reference book that your friends are more than welcome to search through. If, however, you'd prefer that your DJ not take requests, that's also fine. That book can always be left back at the office and we'll just stick to what you've chosen.

I'm concerned about the volume level. How do you effectively control it?
We're very conscious of the fact that no one wants to listen to music at an uncomfortably high volume, and that people have different sensitivity levels. That's why we'll constantly monitor the sound intensity throughout the course of your reception. Our dynamic sound systems allow us to create an environment that's conducive to both dancing and socializing.

Do you take breaks?
Nope. You'll hear continuous music from beginning to end - an uninterrupted flow of seamlessly mixed music.

When should I speak with my DJ USA event coordinator?
Please contact your coordinator one month prior to your bar/bat mitzvah. At that point we'll make arrangements to carefully plan the entire reception with you. If you'd prefer to meet with us earlier than that, however, we'd be happy to set that up. In fact, we'll meet with you as often and as many times as you'd like beforehand.

What time will my DJ arrive at the facility?
Your disc jockey will arrive forty-five minutes to an hour before your scheduled start time to prepare.

Do you put up any signs or banners?
Absolutely not. We’ll be at your reception to entertain, not to advertise.

What if, due to an emergency, my DJ can't make it to the reception?
In the highly unlikely event that your disc jockey is unable to perform due to a severe emergency situation, we can assure you that your entertainment will be provided exactly as planned; we have talented, experienced DJs on-call 24-hours-a-day just in case this extremely rare situation arises. In more than two decades of doing business, we've never missed a performance.

What if something happens to the sound system?
We have a technician on staff who carefully maintains our systems to help eliminate the possibility of equipment malfunctions. To make certain that we're able to deal with any technical challenges that may come up, however, every sound system contains backup gear, which means that you'll have outstanding sound no matter what.

How much gratuity is appropriate?
Please note that a gratuity is not included in your balance due. People generally tip their disc jockey 10% to 15% of the total payment.

Are we required to feed the DJ?
That’s your choice. Customarily people do provide a meal for their DJ.

How long have you been in business?
We've been entertaining New England since 1982.
