Ask Jay
- Will you personally be the DJ for our reception?
-
If you hire Liquid Entertainment as your DJ, then Jay Edwards will be your DJ. Your wedding will not be sub-contracted to another DJ or to another company. Your hire Jay, you get Jay, that's me.
- At how many weddings have you performed your services?
-
I have DJ'd over 1800 weddings in the past 20+ years in Central Florida and have worked at just about every hotel, country club, and venue around town.
- Do you also Emcee the reception?
-
Yes, in addition to being your DJ, I also take care of all of your announcements and emceeing. Once you arrive at the venue, you get to enjoy your wedding and I make sure your night goes exactly as planned.
- What time do you arrive to setup your equipment?
-
It takes me approximately 45 minutes to be completely set up and ready to go. However, I typically arrive an hour and a half before the start of the event to allow myself plenty of time and you will see that noted on the contract.
- What is your attire you will be wearing during your DJ service?
-
I typically wear a suit or tuxedo, unless you would prefer me in something else. It’s your choice, tux, suit, or all black.
- How many songs do you have in your music library?
-
I currently have over 60,000 songs in my music library. All of my music is radio edit, which means you don't have to worry about any cursing in the songs. I have every decade of music, plus all the latest hits, salsa, merengue, reggaeton, bachata, and more!
- What format is your music in? (i.e. records, cassettes, CD)
-
All of my music is digital and on a MAC computer. So, it is crystal clear and you don't have to worry about any interference or skipping.
- Do you provide cocktail/ dinner music?
-
Yes, your dinner music is typically included in your 4 hour reception. If you need cocktail hour music, I can provide that for you as well. And I can also provide the equipment and music for your ceremony as well.
- Do you provide a wireless microphone for speeches?
-
Yes, your Best Man, Maid of Honor, and anyone else doing speeches will be provided with a wireless handheld microphone for toasts.
- Do you bring backup equipment with you?
-
Yes, I have 3 complete sound systems that travel with me to every single wedding. That way, if something were to go down, your wedding doesn't miss a beat.
- Can we choose from a song list?
-
Yes, you have complete and total control over the music at your wedding. I provide you with a music list for you to go through and circle what you like and cross off what you don't like. This way you create me a playlist, but you also create me a do not playlist. If there is a song on your do not playlist, it doesn't matter who requests it, it will not be played, no exceptions.
- Will you need a tablecloth or linens for the DJ table?
-
Yes, typically your caterer or venue will provide a 6' table with matching lines. If they are not able to, I can provide my own at no additional cost to you.
- Is a deposit required? If so, how much?
-
Yes, a signed contract and deposit are required to secure your date. The deposit is typically 50% of your total. However, if you need to arrange a payment plan for the deposit, I am happy to do so.
- When is the deposit due?
-
The deposit is due when the contract is signed. Once the contract and deposit are received, then your date is secure.
- When is the final payment due?
-
The final payment isn't due until the day of your wedding. You can simply give it to your coordinator, best man, maid of honor, or parents.
- Will you be available to eat a meal while DJing?
-
I do not require a meal at your wedding reception.
- How many breaks do you take?
-
I don't take any breaks during your wedding reception.
- Do you provide a written contract and guarantee?
-
Absolutely! You will be provided with a written contract, guaranteeing that I will be the DJ on your wedding day.
