We let our clients have as much, or as little, say in their music as they want to have. After all, it’s your event! For weddings we will ask clients to choose a few “special moment” key songs. We also provide Spotify playlists to aid with any song choices or inspiration.

We hold your friends and family in high regard, treating them as esteemed guests of honor. Our aim is to ensure that your guests feel acknowledged in their requests while striving to uphold the music guidelines you have shared.

We acknowledge that certain songs may not be suitable for your event, which is precisely why we encourage the creation of a do-not-play list. We take great care to tailor your event's music uniquely to you and your guests.

We have a thorough process that includes an initial consultation meeting and at least one creative planning meeting to discuss the timeline, music, and logistical details for your wedding. Once you've completed your online wedding or non-wedding event planner, we'll ensure everything is in order.

Although we primarily serve the Oregon and Washington State regions, we love to travel!

​

Events located within 45 minutes of Portland will not incur any travel charges. However, for events that require travel beyond this radius, fuel and lodging expenses may be included in a travel fee. We always make a point, usually during your first consultation meeting, to discuss any travel fees that may apply to your event. 

To book your event a 50% retainer fee is required. This secures your event day by reserving your date, and only yours, on your DJ's calendar! This will be credited towards your overall balance. Please note that your remaining balance must be settled 30 days prior to your event date.

In your client portal you will click "Make A Payment" to pay with Venmo, or Credit/Debit card via Stripe. Although these are our preferred payment options, we do also accept checks.

We understand that unexpected situations may arise, and we strive to provide our clients with the same level of service we would expect ourselves. While the initial deposit is non-refundable, we have policies in place that allow for your balance to still be applied to other or future events in the event of an emergency.
