Booking:

  • When should you book at the latest?

    Basically, as with almost everything: the sooner the better. A popular DJ is booked up relatively quickly. Depending on when you want to celebrate, you can also be lucky in the short term. But in the high season (early May to late September) you should book about 9-12 months in advance.

  • Can we get to know you personally before booking?

    Yes, that is possible. We would be happy to get to know each other in a personal meeting in Trier, Bitburg or Wittlich. This gives you an insight into my DJ service and we can discuss important details for your event such as the procedure, music selection, technical structure and individual wishes in advance.

  • How does the booking work?

    The best thing to do is to send me a free, non-binding online inquiry by filling out the contact form. I will answer your request (usually within 24 hours).

  • Will I receive a booking or order confirmation?

    Yes, as soon as you confirm a booking and you will receive a written order confirmation (e-mail). With the approval of the order confirmation and the terms and conditions, the contract is binding and the desired date is reserved.

  • Are there additional travel costs?

    No, in principle the journey to the destination is included in the offer price of the "basic package". A contribution towards expenses is only charged for distances of more than 100 km. However, this is listed separately in the offer.

  • How is the fee paid?

    It is common in the industry for payment to be made in cash immediately after the event. Companies and associations can of course pay on account. There is no advance payment, but a deposit of the basic fee is possible.

  • Do I have to pay Gema fee?

    Fees must be paid to GEMA for all events open to the public. If only private guests (family and friends) are invited to your wedding or celebration and the event is not open to the public, it does not have to be registered with GEMA.

  • What happens if the DJ gets sick?

    We are all only human, of course I can get sick too. That's why I've made provisions here! I'm in close collaboration with some colleagues, so we have a good one

Music and entertainment:

  • Do you also play background music, eg during the meal?

    Yes, I am happy to accompany the event to the champagne reception or dinner with subtle background music to ensure a pleasant atmosphere. This can e.g. B. jazz, soul, lounge or pop.

  • Is an opening dance at the wedding absolutely necessary?

    I always answer yes to this question as the opening dance is very traditional and the party that follows opens perfectly. For the opening dance, the guests then stand in a circle on the dance floor, so that dancing can start immediately afterwards and experience has shown that the dance floor is immediately full.

  • Do you also have appropriate music for opening dance?

    Yes, for the opening dance I have a collection of suitable songs to choose from. From classic waltzes to modern pieces in 3/4 time to Slow Fox pieces. Of course, I will also play your personal song (bring it on a CD or USB stick if necessary).

  • We can put together a mix of several songs for the opening dance?

    Yes this is not a problem. If you wish, I can put together an individual mix, medley or wedding crash song for you. Please contact me and I will make you an offer.

  • How is the evening going, when is what music playing?

    At the reception and during the meal, I accompany your guests with subtle background music and get you in the mood for the evening. After the meal, the music program transitions seamlessly to music for dancing and partying, thus spanning the entire evening.

  • What influence do I have on the music selection?

    In a preliminary talk, I would be happy to clarify with you which styles of music are desired and which are explicitly not.

  • Do you also play music requests?

    Yes, music requests should be allowed at every party... but you shouldn't play everything without hesitation.

  • How many titles do you have with you?

    My music repertoire consists of around 10,000 music titles, including (almost) every style from the last few decades.

  • We don't really know the music taste of our guests, can you help us?

    I would like to hear from you about your personal music wishes. As a DJ, I can assess everything that concerns the taste of the guests. Alternatively, you can also place music request cards on the tables during the evening, which can be handed in to me.

  • Do you make music or play breaks?

    No, that's the great advantage of a DJ over other artists. I'll play non-stop music for you - from start to finish.

  • How long have you been playing music?

    Of course, I'll provide music for as long as you wish!

  • Do you moderate?

    No, usually not. In my opinion, the main task of a DJ is to accompany your guests by selecting the right music at the right time of the celebration. Of course I can announce program points.

  • Do you make games too?

    No, but I am happy to support your guests in presenting their games and lectures. These are usually much more personal than ready-made games that you have already seen several times.

Location & Equipment:

  • What equipment do you have with you?

    I only use very high quality and professional equipment. The basic package includes an active loudspeaker system designed for events with up to 150 people and a tripod with 4 LED spots for a colorful dance floor. Depending on personal preferences, the number of people and the size of the room, you can choose between different variants.

  • What technology can you provide?

    I have lighting and sound technology for events for up to 300 people. This includes lighting and sound systems, microphones, effect devices, smoke machines, high-performance UV lamps and decorative lighting. Further technology and larger events are also possible, which I then realize together with my partners.

  • We already have a music system on site, can you use it?

    Yes, but reluctantly. I like to rely on my own equipment. However, I can clarify with the location what technology is available or suitable, how I can connect there and whether it might be better if I bring my technology with me.

  • How long does it take to set up and dismantle the technology?

    Equipment for events for up to 150 guests requires between 30 and 45 minutes to set up or dismantle, depending on the conditions at your location. Dismantling will take place as soon as possible after the end of the season.

  • Do you also have a microphone?

    Yes, professional wireless microphones are available for you and your guests to make your voice heard.

  • We booked an artist. This would like to connect to your system. Is that possible?

    Yes, that is possible. It's best if I discuss directly with the artist which connections are required. I have the right cables and adapters ready for that.

  • How loud is the DJ?

    The advantage of a DJ is that he can basically play his music (in contrast to a drummer, for example) at any desired volume. At dinner, soft music plays pleasantly in the background, and later when you dance, you decide how loud or quiet it should be! If necessary, discuss with the hotelier or landlord what volume is permitted, whether windows should be closed and whether there is a closing time.

  • What do you need on site?

    My equipment can be set up in a very space-saving manner. I usually bring a DJ table with a cover. A table or chair is therefore not required. The space required for the DJ table is approx. 2m² and for speaker and light stands 1m² each. A standard household socket is sufficient as a power connection.
