1.
Do you have liability insurance?
Yes, we have a liability insurance policy that we can provide to your
venue if is require.
2.
How long have you been in business?
I Jorge "Suavecito" Giron started working for a Mobil
DJ company in 1988 carrying the equipment, but it wasn't until 1990
that I had the opportunity to show my skills as DJ. Since then I
have done weddings receptions, quinceañeras, proms, corporate
functions, birthday parties, pool parties & many more
In
2000, I decided to be an independent DJ in Houston.
3.
Why do DJs cost so much?
If you consider all the work that goes into your event, the fee
is actually very reasonable. A 4 hours event is very often more
then 12 hours event for us. You have to calculate in the travel
time, gas and mileage, set-up time, breakdown time, time spent with
you in person, on the phone and via e-mail, time going over the
planning of the event and acquiring any special musical requests,
updating our equipment, music library and liability insurance.
4.
Can I see one of your performances before I book your services?
We don't mind if you see us performing in public places such as
parks, restaurants, night clubs and public outdoor events. But put
it this way. Would you like strangers show up at your wedding reception?
For us is not professional and it's a rudeness to invite strangers
to any private event.
5.
Who will be the DJ on my event?
Jorge "Suavecito" Giron will be the DJ at your event,
and Rosa Galeana will be the MC unless an emergency happend. In
case of any emergency we will notify you in advance. We would make
every effort to contact you before the event and explain the circumstances.
6.
Do you charge a set-up fee?
Usually we do not charge a set up fee. A fee of $100 would be charged
if we were booked for a venue that requires an unusual amount of
work to set up due to such instances as lack of elevators, lack
of parking, difficult to access and/or if the venue requires an
earlier set up. Always ASK the venue coordinator about all
the details above when you book your event. We always charge a fee
for locations that requires more of our time because they represent
a challenge for us when we download & load our equipment.
7.
Do you charge a travel fee?
We do not charge a travel fee if we travel to The Woodlands, Conroe,
Sugarlands, Spring, Cypress, Kingwood, Tomball, Humble, Pasadena,
Magnolia, and Katy. If we have to drive further than that, we charge
a fee $50, which only covers our cost of gas. Just ask about your
site when booking your event.
8.
What if I need that you work overtime on event?
No problem. We just need payment in advance for the additional hour(s),
and we'll gladly stay and continue with the festivities. But if
you decide that we work overtime the date of the event the payment
has to be in advanced, and has to be paid in cash only.
9.
Do we have to pay extra for you to wear formal attire?
No. We always wear formal attire for any event. In case you need
we wear other attire to fit in the theme of your event, it's OK.
We can wear anything from Halloween customs to casual attire.
10.
What type of payment do you accept?
We only accept checks & cash. We do not accept credit cards
at this time in an effort to keep our prices down.
11.
Do you book more than one event for the same date?
No. We do not overbook our work. You are our priority and our only
concern for that special day. We do not want to be stressed out
due to booking two or more event for the same date. Specially, when
you need that we stay late. We will give all our effort & attention
to you on your special event!
12.
How early do you arrive before our event?
If we are providing sound only, we will be there approximately one
hour prior to the start time. If we are providing sound and lights,
we will be there approximately one and a half to two hours early.
Our goal is to have our system completely set up with all checks
run at least 20-30 minutes before your event is scheduled to begin.
13.
What happens if you are not able to make my event?
This hasn't occurred yet. But we never know. If we were unable to
make your event due to a catastrophic situation, we will contact
another professional DJ and do whatever it takes to make sure your
event runs as we have planned. We would provide them with your reception
planner and music request list and go over every detail very carefully.
Of course, we would only use a DJ in which we have full confidence.
We would make every effort to contact you before the event and explain
the circumstances.
14.
Do you help us to plan the order of events for our wedding reception?
Yes. We have a reception event planner where we suggest the order
of events. But you can make any change to the order of events, add
events, or eliminate others. The event planner will help us to ensure
that your reception runs smoothly. Remember it's one of the biggest
events in your life, so it should be perfect!
15.
Do you do announcements?
Yes, that is part of the basic package. We can only make traditional
announcements if you want or be more interactive if you decide it
so. It's your choice. We will discuss all the details about it before
the event date.
16.
Do you use a computer or CDs only?
We use both. We have upgraded our equipment adding a laptop to any
package. However, we still using a dual CD player to better serve
you. We have our music library available on both formats.
17. Would you play my CDs?
Yes, we will play your CDs. If you have a special request that we
do not have on our music list. We already have an extensive and
diverse music library. But you are more than welcome to bring your
own CDs as well. If you burned your own music just make sure they
are CD-R format. For liability reasons, we do not plug anything
into our system.
Please provide any music that you own if this is a foreign language,
or hard to find.
18.
Do you take breaks?
No, unless there is a live band playing. But if one of us needs
to go to the restroom, the music won't stop. If that is the case
you won't notice that one of us left.
19.
Do you smoke or drink alcohol during our event?
No, we do not smoke and never drink alcohol while we are working.
20.
What if I have to cancel my event?
As stated in your contract, the retainer is nonrefundable and nontransferable.
Because once we book your date we refuse others who call for that
day (remember, we only book one event per day). So if your event
was for the evening, not only did we turn down others for that evening,
but that afternoon as well. Most of the time we are unable to rebook
the date of a cancelled event, so we are left with an open date
that causes us to lose money. You also must consider the time we
have already put in to your event going over the reception planner,
acquiring your song requests, etc. A nonrefundable retainer helps
us recoup some of those losses. You will find that in the wedding/hospitality
industry, most retainers or deposits are nonrefundable: it is standard
practice.
21.
Do you offer a fog or bubble machine?
Yes, we to offer both machines. But due to liability issues fog
machines can set off the venue's sprinkler system, and bubbles machine
make the dance floor slippery. Also, fog machine is not healthy
for people with asthma or people with respiratory problem. Check
with your reception venue because many of them do not allow this
kind of equipment in their facilities.
