Frequently Asked Questions
(or, at least what you should be asking)
-
Who will be doing my reception/party?
With Fatman Entertainment, you
always know who your DJ is, because you will meet with them at least
twice. After all, you want to make sure the person in charge of your
most important day is someone you are comfortable with.
-
How much experience does your
prospective DJ have?
How important is your day to you? If it’s your wedding day, it’s
probably very important. Do you want to take a chance on an
inexperienced DJ?
We have been in business since 1996, and I personally have over eighteen
years experience providing the very best in DJ entertainment.
-
What is included in the packages?
Find out what is included, and will the package meet your needs. For
instance, does your DJ company have wireless microphones for toasts and
announcements? Does your DJ company act as emcee for your event? Do they
charge extra for travel outside a certain area? How about karaoke or
club-style lighting? What is the charge for overtime?
Fatman Entertainment offers a
variety of wireless microphones (hand-held and lavaliere for the
minister, if needed) at no extra charge. We also offer karaoke and
lighting to enhance your party. Some of our packages include no extra
charge for overtime.
-
Does your prospective DJ take requests?
It is very important to ask about the music selection. Will the
music they provide meet your needs? If the music selection is slim, many
requests will not be fulfilled.
Fatman Entertainment will gladly
take requests. We will bring a vast music library (over 10,000 songs) so
that all of yours and your guest’s requests can be met. We offer a wide
range of genres that include Big Band Swing, Oldies, Classic Rock/Pop,
Country, Disco, Latin, and today’s Top-40/Dance/Hip-Hop.
-
Can your prospective DJ provide
references?
Employers require references, why shouldn’t you? Ask if you can
contact those references, personally.
We have several testimonials on file at your disposal. We will let you
know which ones have agreed to allow you to contact them.
-
Does your prospective DJ dress
appropriately?
With Fatman Entertainment, you
will get a DJ who will be attired in a tuxedo for weddings, and a tuxedo
or suit if entertaining for a party. If your party is a theme party,
rest assured we will play the part. We are professionals – we want to
ensure we dress that way.
-
Does your prospective DJ use
professional DJ equipment?
Only professional DJ equipment is built to stand up to the rigors of
providing music hours on end. Home stereos and sound systems from your
local chain store is NOT professional gear.
Ask about the power of their system. Nothing is worse than to have loud,
distorted music. A good rule of thumb is 2 watts of power of every
guest.
Fatman Entertainment uses all
professional DJ gear from reputable DJ manufacturers. Whether your party
is for 50 or 5,000, we have the perfect system for you. This also
includes our club-style lighting system.
-
Is there a written contract?
With Fatman Entertainment, you
will always receive a written service agreement, protecting your
entertainment investment.
DO NOT DEAL WITH A DJ WITHOUT A WRITTEN
CONTRACT!
-
Does your prospective DJ carry
liability insurance?
Some venues require this type of insurance.
Fatman Entertainment carries a $1,000,000 liability
insurance policy.
-
Does your prospective DJ have back-up
equipment?
What is the ability of the DJ to keep the music going, in case of
equipment failure?
Fatman Entertainment carries back-up
professional DJ equipment in the unlikely case of failure. We do this
for your peace of mind.
-
Now you can ask, “HOW MUCH?”
When you have all of the information, you are now able to figure out
what the DJ service is worth to you. Each reception/party is unique.
Please call for a consultation and price quotes.
