Musical Moments Frequently Asked Questions
Can I schedule an appointment to meet with you?
We welcome the opportunity to meet you in person. Please contact us to schedule an appointment. For your convenience, we are available to meet outside of regular business hours.
Can I meet my DJ in advance of my event?
You may meet with your DJ once you have completed and submitted your Event Planner, which is due 3 weeks before your event. Our DJ's would like to speak with you in advance of your event. This gives them an opportunity to get to know you and understand the expectations you have for your reception. We have found that a phone consultation with your DJ is also a great option that works well with our DJ's and Client's busy schedules.
What are your fees?
We do not charge extra for set-up and teardown. We do not charge for mileage within the Twin Cities area. For events outside the metro area, we negotiate a reasonable mileage fee. Please call us for a detailed quote for your event. If you prefer, you can contact us by email (see our Contact page). If you choose this option please give us as much information as possible.
Do you have experience at my venue?
We have performed at most Twin Cites Metro Area venues. We are equipped to handle the special features and challenges of venues both large and small (Landmark Center, Minnesota Zoo, Mill City Museum, Great Hall, Pool & Yacht Club and Christo's, to name a few).
Can we bring our own music?
If you want a song that you don't see on our online music list, you can add a custom request and we will try to get it. If we can't get the song, you are welcome to bring the CD to your event.
How many songs will my DJ have time to play?
During a typical 4 hour dance, your DJ can play 60-80 songs. We are a professional DJ service and we do not put the pressure on you to pick all the songs to be played.
We invite you to use our online music list to create "must play", "maybe play" and "do not play" lists for your event.
Can you provide ceremony music?
Yes, we can provide music for your ceremony. We provide audio equipment for indoor/outdoor locations, both on and offsite. Our online Event Planner will help you with song selection and order. Call us for a detailed quote.
Do you take requests?
We leave that decision up to you. Our online Event Planner allows you to choose the level of requests. Our DJ's are equipped with 40,000+ songs at each event to handle on the spot requests.
Can we see an actual event?
We respect the privacy of our clients and we do not schedule live viewings of our performances. We welcome the opportunity to meet with you to discuss your questions and concerns. Please see the video on our website. We can also provide you with references from venues and satisfied clients.
How many hours of music should I have at my event?
A typical event is 7 hours, including cocktail, dinner and dance music. We also offer unlimited hour packages for facilities that require early set-up or if you have an early ceremony and need to entertain you guests for longer. You can also pay for additional time as you go. You can pay your DJ directly in increments of $75 per half hour.
How do you pick the perfect DJ for me?
We select a DJ for you based on your Event Planner and on our conversations with you. Getting to know your personality and expectations allows us to match you with the perfect DJ. Your Event Planner also indicates the level of interaction you would like from your DJ.
What if my DJ has an emergency or there is an equipment failure?
We always have back-up equipment and personnel ready should an emergency arise. Equipment failure is very rare for us, because we use newer equipment that is carefully maintained and frequently upgraded. We also use both CD's and laptops; one can serve as a backup to the other.
Do you offer a discount if we bundle services?
Yes, we do offer discounts if you book more than one service. In addition to DJ entertainment, we offer photo montages, videography and photography.
