Wedding DJ FAQs

No one has ever left a wedding saying "that DJ didn't talk enough." Your DJ won't use the microphone during dancing to say things like "hands up" or look at grandma!" Your DJ will make instructive announcements before dancing so your guests know where to go, or what to look at. Those announcements will be in a natural voice and to the point.

We play customized music and make minimal announcements. This is in contrast to NY and NJ wedding DJs who only play popular wedding songs, and talk on the microphone a lot during dancing.

Your DJ will ask you questions like "what kinds of music do you listen to at home" or "what types of music would you like to hear at your wedding." And base your music on things like that - or on a playlist you provide. As opposed to what your DJ played the weekend before. Or what gets played at weddings in general. The music is completely custom.

Yes. $250 per hour past 7 hours. If the after party is in a different location, there may be an extra charge.

Probably not. This is a common misconception. The DJ provides the microphone at the ceremony. So they will start at the beginning of the ceremony at the latest. Even if they aren't playing music at the ceremony, they will still be there monitoring the microphones (a very important job). Because there is a 30 minute amount of time for guests to be seated before the ceremony, your DJ may start then to play music in case your musicians are only playing during the ceremony.

The prices on our website are for 4 to 7 hours. That usually starts with guest arrival with your DJ playing pre-ceremony music. Or providing the microphone at ceremony.

No. Your caterer will probably serve us a vendor meal while you are eating. But the music will continue to play.

2 hours before guest arrival. Setup is free and not included in the 7 hour quote. Same for breakdown.

Yes, and we may have lower pricing for it! Just ask.

We DJ, provide speakers and microphones (included with DJ), provide photo booths, provide lights and provide musicians.

+ Plan music with you beforehand. + Give you a life-changing dance party. + Provide microphones and speakers in 3 or 4 areas for ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dancing. + Make minimal announcements (only instructive ones as opposed to invasive ones). + Work with your coordinator to make sure you have a smooth wedding.

We have two options. There is an FAQ section on this page all about them. You can also learn more here. And get the prices at the bottom of this page.

Yes, we welcome that.

Yes! We have over 150. Check our Spotify account and the DJ bio pages.

No worries, we will work around your schedule. We can do it over email, text, or on a call. We will accommodate you and give you the special treatment you need.

We plan using an online form and a Zoom call. We will send you an online form to fill out. 2 to 3 weeks before your wedding we will have a Zoom call to review the form. Planning music is easy and fun.

You can choose as many (or as few) songs as you like to be played at your wedding. The number one talent (by far) of all of our DJs is music knowledge. So they are happy to guide you toward your goals.

Yes. If you ask us to play certain songs, artists, or playlists, we will do it. We won't deviate from that.

YES, if you ask for them. We love getting creative in blending songs together. And in seeking out interesting remixes that match your style. NO, if you don't ask for them. Most of our couples just want to hear the song they love. We never play weird remixes that change the song. Unless we talked about it before, your DJ will play original songs.

No. We never do that.

No. We never do that. Playing music your guests know and like is enough.

No, we never do that.

We mix. All our DJs will beatmix and transition seamlessly from one song to the next. We do not use Spotify to DJ. We use it as a song list only.

Yes and no. When DJing at a club, our DJs might have different styles. But for a wedding, they are trained to be music chameleons. Our DJs are incredibly good at matching your style and taste. Some of them know niche genres better, like Italo Disco or Afrobeats. At least half are bilingual and know music from different cultures. But all of them can get your guests dancing to your favorite genres of music.

That's a question we will ask you during planning. It's up to you. We are happy to take them or not. But we will always honor your "do-not-play list" when fielding requests.

You need to provide your DJ with a table and access to electric. That's in our contract. But, some of our DJs like to bring their own table. So just check with them beforehand, please.

Yes. We provide a mic, mic stand and speaker for your onsite ceremony.

DJ stuff on a table with speakers on stands. Our setups are minimal. Everything is black and meant to blend into the background. We do not use those DJ stands that look like spaceships or modern furniture.

Yes, a handheld wireless mic is included for this.

The print booth and the digital booth

It gets set up 1 hour before service is to begin. If you have us set it up in front of your guests, it may look a bit messy until setup is complete.

The digital booth comes with digital sends (text and email). It doesn't print and doesn't come with a backdrop or an attendant.

Print booth is for 4 hours Digital booth is for the entirety of the event

It comes with: Unlimited prints Beautiful backdrop (white, black, or gold sequin) Dedicated attendant Digital sends (text and email)

We are happy to add your venue to the travel fee map! Email hello@ntweddingdjs.com and we will take care of it.

Yes, our DJs travel all over the east coast. And we have traveled across the country to DJ weddings.

Anything over a 59 minute drive from the DJ's home is $250 per hour one way. Check out our travel fee map to find the fee for your venue. And then add it to your DJ's fee to calculate your total fee.

We used to do this. But now we mostly just recommend them. Please ask.

Yes, absolutely. We welcome it and love it.

Your musician is welcome to use whatever our DJ has available. This usually involves the musician plugging their cable into the DJ's equipment so the musician's music is played through the speakers. Or using one of the DJ's mics. But we cannot guarantee this and it is not always available. The DJ will not bring extra cables, mixers, mic stands, or any extra equipment for your musician. We ask they supply their own equipment.

Yes! We do this often. It is really fun. And for the DJ there is no preparation or experience needed. The DJ plays the music and the musician plays along.
