I have put together a few questions every bride and groom should ask a DJ company they are considering for their wedding. Of course, I took the liberty of answering them as well...
Can we meet with your company ahead of time to go over wedding details?
Yes. We recommend it. Many people mistakenly believe we’re only about the music. That is not the case. The DJ helps coordinate time-lines, announcements, speeches, and vendors. Cake cuttings, name pronunciations, speeches, and of course music selections are discussed in an advance consultation. We try to never perform at a wedding without at least one face-to-face consultation. Not meeting with you personally and discussing your wishes will generally result in a poor performance. If a DJ company tells you it's not necessary to meet, they are not interested in what YOU want for your wedding.

Do you provide references for your DJ’s?
We are extremely proud of our past performances and Love it when clients brag about our services. We have an informative WeddingWire Website available for prospective wedding clients to read what past brides and grooms have to say about or DJ’s. If you would like, we can provide additional references for you to contact directly, just ask.

Do you have a social media site where we can follow your Wedding events?
We have an excellent presence on Facebook, please check out our page and become a fan.
Is your company insured?
Yes. Move It Music DJ and Lighting is fully insured under a $250,000 policy to perform in all facilities or outdoor events. Many banquet facilities require certificates of insurance before letting mobile sound systems work at events in their facility. This is important protection for you, your guests and the facility in the unlikely event of a mishap.
Do you take music requests? Will you avoid playing certain songs?
Yes. When you contract us to do your event, you will have access to our immense online library of music to choose your Priority Requests and Do Not Play requests.
How far should I book in advance?
Most clients book Move It Music DJ and Lighting nine to eighteen months in advance of their wedding. Some dates may sell out early due to popularity and surrounding holidays (especially in the summertime). Here's a good rule to consider. If your wedding is in the months of May through December, 12-18 months is when you want to book your Wedding DJ. If it falls between January and April, 6 to 9 months will usually be safe. When booking novelty dates like 10/10/10, the sooner the better. The weeks before and after Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day, go very fast.
