Q: How soon before my wedding should I book my DJ? 
A: The best time is as soon as you have confirmed your date. Remember, booking a DJ is like booking a catering hall or photographer. The really good and popular ones are booked early.

Q: Who selects the music for my wedding?
A: Midnight Magic always ask clients for a list of their favorite songs, bands and genres, and for a list of "must plays" and "do not plays." Your Midnight Magic DJ bases the evening's music around your tastes, and requests from the guests, considering the age range of the guests and other factors which we can discuss in more detail when we meet in person. If you need help picking specific songs, we are more than happy to consult with you.

Q: Can you do the announcements at the wedding?
A: Yes! An MC comes with everyone of our wedding packages. We make sure we make any and all announcements you need made during your event including dinner announcements, wedding party arrival and others.

Q: Where should you set up your DJ equipment?
A: The best place is in front of the dance floor. It is best not to have any tables between the DJ and the dance floor, or the poor folks sitting in between will probably be complaining all night. Remember, the further away the DJ is from the dance floor, the louder the music must be.

Q: Are we responsible for providing the DJ with a meal?
A: Although it is customary to provide your service providers with a meal Midnight Magic NEVER requires it and will our staff will not eat if not invited. With setup and teardown we will often be at events for 6-8 hours, please just let us know in advance. This way we can make any other arrangements we may need. If you do include us, we suggest to not include us in your meal count since 1 or 2 guests usually will not show.

Q: Should I tip the DJ?
A: Again, although it is customary to tip your DJ Midnight Magic NEVER requires it. Whether you do or not is entirely up to you. Its a nice way of letting them know you think our staff member(s) did a good job. The amount of the tip is also up to you, but 10-20% is the average amount. 

Q: What do you wear to a wedding?
A: We always find out in the consultation what is appropriate and dress accordingly.

Q: What time to you arrive to set up?
A: Midnight Magic usually plans to arrive two hours before the start time, in order to be set up and dressed when the event begins. Please bear in mind that some hotels and venues might require us to arrive even earlier in order to get into the space before guests arrive. This is important because that time must be considered when setting a start time.

Q: Do you require a deposit, and when is the balance due?
A: Midnight Magic usually requires a 25% deposit of the full contract charge. The balance is not actually due until the day of your wedding, although many clients find it more convenient to pay the balance a week or two beforehand. We do require payment prior to the event setup.

Q: Is setup time included?
A: You never have to pay for setup or teardown time. After your event, we teardown and are typically loaded in about 60-90 minutes, leaving the facility in the exact condition when we arrived.
