Here are some things you need to know to make this ride even smoother:
  • How to get a hold of us:  Email is the best way to reach Us or your Dj  to make changes or communicate. Should you misplace their contact information, just reach out to the office at tonyh@ispdj.com – 305-668-6176
  • Availability:  Everything with our team can be done via video chat or over the phone but if you want to meet us in person, just let us know. Most of our meetings are weekday evenings. Weekend meetings are typically not available due to our event schedule.
  • Emails from us: You will get various emails along the way. Some are reminders to do things like fill out your planners, others are offering an amazing service you may not know you needed, and others are tips/helpful info. We like to stay in touch! One last thing, you will get an email from us AFTER the wedding as well, and we love reviews (hint hint).

  • Tips: After looking at the sample timeline, read these 12 quick tips. You’ll thank us later.
  • Meals:  We love when our clients feed us keep us happy during the event. Usually it’s the DJ & One assistant .If you do want us to eat, we will do it quickly with the other vendors and out of sight of guests.
  • Arrival/set-up:  On your wedding day, we typically arrive about 1.5 to 3 hours before the event.
  • Requirements: As per the contract, we don’t need much just  power. We are easy.
  • Gratuities: Tipping is totally up to you! We typically see 10-20% tips if the DJ was amazing.
  • The Music: Of course, this is the most important thing to us, heck, we are DJs. If it’s important to you, take some time to work on your online planners,  and music request on our portal. Speaking of, check out some of ours below.

Tips for Planning the Perfect Party
  1. For a wedding, keep in mind that your guests are going to be where the couple are. If you’re on the dance floor, the guests will be too!
  2. Don’t micromanage the timeline. We do need the order of events but not necessarily the exact time for each. You’ve hired a great DJ, now let us do our job.
  3. If there are older guests, try not to sit them close or right in front of the speaker(s).
  4. Don’t put the DJ in an obscure location or corner; the DJ needs to be easily visible and near the dance floor so they can see it to get a feel for the crowd.
  5. If you have dance floor lighting, keep in mind that darker is better. Use dimmers for chandeliers, cafe lighting, etc.
  6. If you have a photo booth at the event, please put it in the main room where the DJ is. You want to keep people near the dance floor at all times.
  7. When picking your songs for your event, take into account not only your taste, but the guests’ as well.
  8. When picking your music, you don’t have to overdo it. Pick 20 – 50  or so songs you like and a few you don’t, and let us fill in from there.
  9. We typically recommend that toasts are kept to a maximum of 5 minutes per person and a maximum of 4 people.
  10. We also recommend that the first dance is done right after you are introduced, and parent dances.
