FAQ
The Date
Contact us to inquire if your date is available. We book quickly, so the sooner you reach out, the better.
Oh, and we only book one wedding per DJ and one EVENT per DJ so you NEVER have to worry if your DJ’s mind is elsewhere on the biggest day of your life.
Whichever DJ and Master of Ceremonies you book is the one you get -- unless we’re incapacitated in the hospital. Even then, we have plans for that.
Professionalism
We’ve been performing at weddings and events since 1993 in many different parts of the country. Needless to say, you’re getting a professional DJ that has seen and done most anything associated with weddings and live events -- including the bumpy situations that require quick thinking.
We’ve played A LOT of weddings. No two have ever been the same, so the number isn’t really important. It’s in the hundreds.
We’ve been to many, many event venues in the area. If it’s one we haven’t seen, we’ll meet you there for a tour to get the lay of the land.
While we’d love for every couple to experience Premier Entertainment in person, it’s just not possible or polite to allow any prospective clients to attend other peoples’ weddings. Therefore, you can check us out some videos here.
We act in concert with your other vendors as a wedding planner the day-of your Ceremony and Reception to ensure everything goes off smoothly, including contacting all vendors before hand to answer any questions they might have.
We serve as Disc Jockey and Master of Ceremonies from start to finish in a professional manner.
Unique Services
Premier Entertainment’s DJs and Masters of Ceremonies are uniquely trained to set the stage for a successful evening. From the initial welcoming of your guests to the final song of the night, we’re ready to melt your faces off in an elegant way.
Premier Entertainment offers services that no one else in town does -- a personalized Love Story, expanded Grand Introductions and a Custom-Edited First Dance will all take your audience’s breath away and set the proper tone for the evening.
Other Services
In addition to wedding and event services, Premier Entertainment offers officiant services for your Wedding Ceremony, uplighting, custom trivia, or music bingo.
Something else you don’t see here, like a photobooth? Contact us to inquire as we have great working relationships with other vendors in the area.

Music
In our planning process, we go through every last possible event that may occur at your Wedding, including events that you may wish to exclude. That’s okay. We’ll also discuss music selections for each of them to ensure we’re expressing the moment in a way that’s enjoyable for you.
If you’re stumped, we can also provide resources to get you started.
We can access most any song that’s available for legal download. Finding it on YouTube does not always guarantee that we can get it. Sometimes we find success messaging the artist or performer on another platform, but that’s not a guarantee. We typically use Amazon Digital Music and/or iTunes. If you can find it there, we can use it at your reception.
We subscribe to Promo Only -- a DJ music source that updates weekly.
Backups
Should a major problem occur and your DJ needs to be replaced (i.e. they’re in the hospital and unable to perform), we have other staff DJs and are well-connected with other DJs in the area.
Should something happen on the way, we will use any means necessary -- Uber, Lyft, U-Haul, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, other DJs -- to arrive and get started on-time.
Should something occur at your Wedding, we carry redundancies upon redundancies including additional wireless microphones, batteries, hard drives, laptops and speakers -- and know how to hook it all up multiple ways to get things back up and running in the most expedient way.
Most event venues
The Dance Floor
More than likely, your dance floor will be busy from the first song of the night -- the result of a carefully choreographed event prior to the dancing portion of your evening. However, if the crowd tires of a certain song or gets thirsty, we can switch up the music to beckon them back.
We do typically take requests but know how to tastefully let someone know their out-of-character song request will not make the cut.
Do you DESPISE Lady Gaga? Can’t stand Post Malone? Our planning process includes dance floor music selections -- a top-300 list of tunes that have worked for us in Weddings past -- into which you can submit a “Do Not Play” list.
The Business Stuff
Interested in pricing? Check out our pricing page.
Our pricing is all-inclusive with very few options for add-ons. We think you have enough stuff to worry about planning the biggest day of your life, so our packages should cover you.
If we sit down and we both decide we’re a good fit for one another, we’ll sign a Performance Agreement that spells out our business relationship, including price, deposit, payments, etc.
We carry $1,000,000 in liability insurance to protect ourselves. While we hope against hope we never have to use it, it’s there just in case.
Logistics
If we’re handling your ceremony, we include two mics (if you need that many) to capture the sound. You can choose between a handheld or a lapel microphone.
Most event venues supply sufficient power for us within 50 feet of our main setup. Should unique power requirements arise, we do offer a generator at no extra charge. Furthermore, all of our equipment should run on one 15-amp circuit.
We’ll need a space set aside for a 6- or 8-foot table with a linen if you’d like our table to match. Typically your event venue should provide this. If you’re renting your own tables & chairs, please be sure to include one for us -- no chairs needed.
We’ll typically need two hours prior to the start of your event to get everything set up and fine-tuned. However, we do coordinate this with your venue beforehand to ensure everyone is on the same page.
Our tear-down typically takes 60-90 minutes. If your venue requires vendors to be out by a certain time, please let us know before so we might make special arrangements.
After we sign a Performance Agreement, you typically won’t hear much from us until 6-8 weeks prior. At that point, we’ll reach out to begin the on-line planning process and set up our meeting. If we can’t meet in person locally, we’ll set something up over Zoom or Google Hangouts.
Music requests and changes to your itinerary are due one week prior to your Wedding Day. Trust us when we say you don’t want to be messing with that stuff the week of your event.
If you want to feed us a meal at your Wedding, great. If it’s not in your budget, that’s okay too. We’ll discuss this beforehand to ensure we’re fed.
