Frequently Asked Questions
Choosing the right DJ for your event is crucial and there are many important questions that need to be answered before hiring a DJ. Below are some of the most important questions that you need to ask ALL DJ's before giving them any responsibilities for your event.
Why should we choose DJ Brian Daze?
I give you professional quality at an affordable price. I’ve been DJing in Central Ohio for 20+ years and have played at countless venues in Central Ohio under a variety of environments and circumstances. Daze Entertainment is also a honest company with no hidden costs.
How do I reserve my date?
A $725 non-refundable deposit is required to reserve the date of your event. That deposit is then credited towards your overall balance. For your convenience, you may pay your deposit and balance online by credit/debit via PayPal at a 3.5% fee or you may also pay with Venmo, Zelle, or cash.
When is my balance due?
While you may pay your balance at any time before your event, your remaining balance is due one week prior to the performance date.
Will you be the actual DJ for my event?
Yes! You would hate to spend an hour interviewing your DJ and like their personality, only to be blindsided at your event by having another DJ show up. This happens more than you'd think. After meeting with the client, other DJ companies will pocket your money and freelance your business to an amateur DJ at a fraction of the price. With Daze Entertainment, you will be working with DJ Brian Daze from the very beginning to the end of your event.
Do you have references?
Yes! While some DJs just give you the names of their best three clients. I believe a company is only as good as their last performance. So, I will give you the names of our three most recent customers for a true review.
Do you charge for travel, setup, or tear-down?
No! My pricing is an absolute flat fee. There are no hidden fees and you will know the final price the day you book with us.
What if my event runs longer than planned?
There is a $150/hour charge for every additional hour over the agreed upon timeline.
What attire will my DJ be wearing?
This depends on the type and theme of your event, but DJ Brian Daze always looks professional. Suits for weddings. Business casual or event-appropriate for corporate, sports, and fitness unless you specify otherwise.
Do you take song requests?
YES! I encourage you to get involved in the music selection process from the very beginning. If I don't have a song you want, I'll buy it at no extra cost to you. You'll have access to the Playlist Form on the day you submit your deposit. On this form, you'll add song requests and even specify songs you don't want played. DJ Brian Daze will also take requests from your guests at the event as long as the songs are not on your "Do Not Play" list.
What type of music do you play?
DJ Brian Daze has experience playing absolutely all styles of music. While I typically play popular top 40, hip hop, and old school jams, I have an incredible song library to accommodate requests of any style from any decade.
Are you insured?
Yes! Daze Entertainment is covered by a $2,000,000 liability! This meets or exceeds the requirements of virtually any venue. So, if I break it, I'll replace it. This is an important question to ask any DJ, because venues have the right to turn your DJ away at the door if they are underinsured, leaving you without a DJ on the day of your big event!!!!
Do you work with the venue staff, photographers or videographers?
Yes! I ask you to fill out a planning form and timeline so we can lead the activities of your event. The DJ booth is typically the information headquarters for the staff, photographers and videographers. So yes, DJ Brian Daze works with them directly to make sure they are prepared and in position for all of the important parts of your event. I even allow the videographers to plug into my sound system to record crystal clear audio of you wedding ceremony or important speeches.
How many microphones do you bring?
While some DJ companies only bring 1 microphone that is connected to a short cable, Daze Entertainment always provides 2 wireless mics for FREE!! Other DJs charge an extra $50 just because you need a wireless microphone instead of one on a restrictive cable!!
Do you have a backup system?
Yes, in fact, I have a backup for my backup system. Daze Entertainment has 3 full DJ systems available at all times. So, on the rare occasion that there is any form of equipment failure, it will be fixed or replaced instantly.
