How long have you been in business?
Since 1983
When can I come to your office for an appointment?
From 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on weekdays and on weeknights by appointment
only.
Where will your entertainers perform?
While most of our events are in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, we
also provide entertainment throughout the United States.
Do you provide non-musical entertainment?
Yes! We provide comedians, magicians, fortune-tellers, jugglers,
impersonators, clowns, mystery murder events, mentalists, caricaturist, fire
eaters and more.
What type of bands do you offer and show?
We represent all styles - from variety bands that play music from all eras
as well as Rock, Dixieland, Motown, Swing, Blues, and Country bands to name
a few. We have both dance bands and show bands.
How do I know how many musicians/performers I will need?
The number is determined by the number of guests, the size of the venue,
whether you want dancing and/or background music, and your budget. To help
you make the right choice, our event coordinators will offer suggestions and
you can view DVD's and listen to audio CD's of the performers.
What makes your disc jockeys different?
We are not simply a referral service for free-lance DJ's. Our DJ's will
customize the event for you. They will play the songs that you want, emcee
as you specify, bring the appropriate size sound system to suit the venue,
make sure that the volume will be at the appropriate level, and will bring a
wireless hand held microphone for you to use for remarks.
Can I talk on the phone or meet with the bandleader or disc jockey prior to
the event?
Yes.
What process do you go through to ensure the success of my event?
Our entertainment consultants will review with you all pertinent details
prior to your event.
Can you suggest the timing of the events of what will happen at my wedding
reception (cutting cake, first dance, father/bride dance, etc)? or the
timing of events for my corporate event?
Our entertainment consultants are glad to help you with suggestions for the
timing of events and suggestions for special songs.
How can I see or hear the performers?
We have dvd and audio recordings of our performers. We can either send you a
package or meet with you at our office by appointment.
How do I book the performers?
We require written contracts for all of our events. The contract will
outline all of the pertinent information related to the event. The pertinent
information will include the performer(s), the location of the event, the
hours of the event, the number of breaks for the talent (if any), the
overtime rate if the artist is requested to perform later than scheduled,
the dress, the payment schedule, specific requirements (i.e., staging,
sound, or lighting, for example).
We require a non-refundable deposit of 50% upon signing the contract unless
special arrangements have been made. The balance may be mailed to our office
one week prior to the event, or can be presented to the Artist the evening
of the event or can be charged to your credit card.
On the night of the event, can I ask the performer(s) to stay longer?
Yes. If requested, our performers will continue, assuming that there are no
schedule conflicts. The overtime rate will be specified in the contract.
What if I cancel the entertainment after signing a contract?
Legally, all deposits are non-refundable. If you cancel your event within
sixty days of the event you are liable for the full engagement fee. If you
cancel more than sixty days before the engagement date, the non-refundable
deposit will be forfeited, but you would not be liable for the balance of
the engagement fee. However, if we are able to rebook the talent we are
happy to refund your deposit in full.
Do you take credit cards?
Yes, we accept Visa, MasterCard, and Discover.
