What if you get sick and can’t perform?
In all of my 20 years in the business I have never missed an event. However, I am a member of a exclusive professional disc jockey association and you would be assured of a DJ replacement of the same high caliber.
Can we see you perform at an event?
Generally not. I respect the Bride and Groom and would not ask them if a visitor can drop in. I give 110% to my client on their day!
How can we get a feel for what you do?
I highly recommend setting up a personal meeting that lasts about an hour. I can describe my services and answer any questions you may have. It is the best way to get to know one another and see if we click! Additionally I invite you to tune into my weekly radio program (see our On The Air page) to my vocal delivery.
How do we go about setting up that meeting?
Call me at 858-277-6609. I look forward to hearing from you soon!
