Expectations:

Agreement

You will have the opportunity to reserve us as your DJ company simply by signing our online contract with a security deposit.  This ensures we will not book another event that conflicts with your date in the future.  The remaining balance is due upon completion of your event.

Planning and Timeline
for those who need some structure to their event in regards to toasts, awards, special dances, dinner time, last call, etc.
 
Once you have chosen us to be your event's entertainment, we will have you fill-in the Online Event Planning Form and the Online Event Timeline Form.

These online forms will consist of a questionnaire that will help us customize your event to your specific needs. You can select songs from our online database, although its not required.

If you feel there are more details to work out or you would just like to meet with us to ease your last minute jitters, please call us anytime prior to your event.  If we do not hear from you, we will call you one week before the wedding to confirm all of the details and make any last minute changes.

Wedding Day
for those who are getting married

The day of your wedding your DJ will arrive at your reception hall about two hours before the guests arrive and set up our sound and lighting equipment. We will do a sound and light check to ensure everything is working properly. After everything is in place, we will change into our formal attire and be ready for your guest's arrival.

As the guests arrive, during cocktails, and through dinner we can play the music of your choice. We recommend something upbeat before dinner and then something softer for dinner (you chose the format).

Acting as Master of Ceremonies and event coordinator, we will make formal announcements when you arrive, inform your guests of all special events like the toast, cake cutting, bouquet and garter toss, and introduce all the special dances. We will provide you with a cordless microphone so it is easier for the best man to give a toast at the main table or for any one else to make an announcement. We will talk to you before each event like the toast, first dance, etc. We always make sure the photographer and everyone else is ready before we start an event or make an announcement.

After all the formalities are over, we will get the party started by playing all of your favorite songs. We have a very large selection of music that will satisfy any age group. We encourage requests so your guests can come up and select songs. Don't forget this is your day, all the work is done and it is time to celebrate!
 

Music for your Event
DJ Indiana keeps it's music current!

When you DJ as many college parties as we do, we have to know all the new stuff and have it ready to play. We monitor the Billboard Top 100 to make sure that we have most, if not all, the current top hits. We use the OTS DJ software to mix the music of over 13,000 songs with our PCs. But, in case the PC doesn't want to cooperate, all of our music is backed on a second computer or a backup Dual CD player which can easily be started in 5 minutes or less if the primary computer fails.

We have a fantastic selection of music genres.

Fifties, Sixties, Seventies, Eighties, Nineties, Top 100, Country, Urban, and Hip Hop. I would estimate that I have 95% of all songs requested regardless of whether it is a college fraternity or an upscale wedding reception.

Do not feel like you have to choose your play list in advance.  It's a very large list to go through, so if you prefer you can leave it up to the DJ.  We are confident that we can can determine what will work best for the majority of the crowd.  If you want to pick some songs, but not spend a lot of time going through it, we recommend to look through the Wedding Top 200 or the DJ Indiana list of the Top 2000.

We also subscribe to the Promo-Only CD series which is one of the major suppliers to radio stations for all different types of music.

 

Event Completion
About DJ Indiana Overtime policies

Per the signed agreement, we ask that you pick a time that you would like the party to end and pick a last dance song.  In many cases, our clients aren't sure when they want the party to end, so we always offer a per 1/2 hour overtime rate.  We will never play into the overtime rate without your approval first,.  We typically will ask you 15 minutes in advance on whether or not you would like us to play longer.

Post Event Online Survey
Totally optional

In order to better ourselves, we encourage you to log back into DJindiana.com within a week or two and fill out a brief online survey.  Also, if you feel we've done an excellent job, you are most welcome to click the Refer a Friend link under the Contact / Surveys dropdown menu and send them an email to refer your friend(s) to us.
