FAQ'S
E-Sharp Entertainment DJ Services Frequently Asked Questions
How experienced are your DJs?
Our DJs bring a range of experience, but they all share a commitment to creating exceptional events. At E-Sharp, we prioritize professionalism, passion for music, and strong character in our team members. New DJs undergo our comprehensive DJ Mentor Program, which combines classroom learning with hands-on training to ensure consistent quality and expertise.
Can we attend a wedding where your DJs are performing?
To respect the privacy of our clients, we do not allow potential clients to attend events. Your wedding is a private celebration, and our focus remains on you—not on showcasing our services to others.
Why don’t we have an in-person meeting with our DJ?
In the busy weeks leading up to your wedding, we’ve found that phone consultations are more convenient for our clients. These allow for detailed planning without adding extra appointments to your schedule.
Does the DJ provide equipment, or do we need to supply it?
We bring all the necessary sound and lighting equipment for your event.
What happens if equipment breaks during the event?
Our DJs are equipped with backup equipment, including spare cables and tools, and we have an on-call technician available for major issues. Our team is trained to handle any technical problems on-site quickly and efficiently.
How much space does the DJ need? Do I need to provide a table?
Our setup is versatile for any venue size. We require a 6’ or 8’ banquet table, which most venues provide at no cost.
How long will the DJ play music?
The DJ’s performance time is based on your package. Typically, the DJ will play throughout your wedding, including the ceremony. They will arrive 90 minutes before guest arrival and play until the agreed-upon end time.
Can we extend the DJ’s performance time?
Yes! An additional 30 minutes is complimentary. Beyond that, extra time is available at $200 per hour, as outlined in your contract.
Why is there a charge for ceremony coverage if it’s only 15 minutes?
Ceremony coverage includes the DJ’s early arrival, specialized training for ceremonies, and equipment setup to ensure everything runs flawlessly during this intimate part of your day.
When will we hear from our DJ?
Your DJ will contact you within two business days of booking. You’ll have unlimited planning access to customize playlists, discuss logistics, and finalize details.
Can we create a playlist for the DJ?
Absolutely! Our music portal features over 20,000 songs. You can curate playlists for each part of your day, including "must-play" and "do-not-play" lists.
What if we want a song that isn’t in your library?
If a song isn’t available in our extensive library, you can request it via the Supplementary Song section in your profile. If we’re unable to locate it, you may provide the track in CD or MP3 format at least three weeks before your wedding.
Is gratuity included in the package?
Gratuity is not included. We encourage tipping based on your satisfaction with the service. A standard industry tip is 15% of the DJ’s fee, but you can adjust this based on your experience.
Can we rent audio-visual equipment from you?
We have limited audio-visual equipment available for rent. Contact your sales representative for details.
Are there any hidden fees?
No, our pricing is transparent. Additional fees may only apply for ceremony coverage, travel beyond a 100-mile radius, or overnight lodging if necessary.
Is there a travel fee?
For venues beyond 40 miles from the Twin Cities, we charge $1 per mile. For venues over 150 miles away, overnight lodging is required for the safety of your DJ.
What will the DJ wear?
Our DJs dress professionally. Male DJs wear a black suit, white shirt, black tie, and dress shoes. Female DJs wear professional attire in black or white.
Will the DJ emcee the reception?
Yes, our DJs are trained to manage announcements, facilitate transitions, and coordinate your reception to ensure a seamless experience.
What do your online planning tools include?
Our planning tools are designed to simplify the process, helping you and your fiancé articulate your vision. These tools include timeline management, song selection, and detailed planning prompts, ensuring your DJ has everything needed to bring your event to life.
