How far in advance should I book your service?
If you know you want a disc jockey and
you have a definite date then no time is too soon to book FADDS
Entertainment. It is not uncommon to book a year in advance. Don't get
discouraged, however, if you're in a bind and looking for a disc jockey
in a hurry. It is always worth the phone call to see if your date is
available.

Do
you charge for setup and breakdown of
your equipment and how long does it take?
We do not charge for setup or breakdown
of our equipment. Our packages are all-inclusive, and there are no
hidden charges. Our disc jockey set-up can take anywhere from 45 minutes
to 1.5 hours.

What
time do you arrive for setup?
We generally arrive 45 minutes to 1.5 hours before the beginning of your
event so be sure to book any reserved areas accordingly.
Back to Top
What do you need as far as
setup goes?
All we need is a 10ft. x 10ft. area with two electrical outlets (for our
extensive light show). If our lighted dance floor will be used, we
require an additional 14’x 15’ space. We ask that we also have at least
a 15ft. high ceiling. Some banquet centers may provide tables. If this
is the case, we ask that the table be 6ft. in length.
Back to Top
Do you provide
party favors?
We do provide party favors and prizes for events like Bar/Bat Mitzvahs
and Corporate Team Building parties. If you are interested in providing
party accessories for your event, let us know, and we will introduce you
to many exciting options.
Back to Top
Do you take
requests?
Always, and to ensure we bring the music your event requires, we will
get to know you and your guests' tastes beforehand through
questionnaires, polls, and "Must Have" and "Don't Play" lists. We do not
however take requests for explicit songs or songs that will "clear the
dance floor" unless specifically told to do so by the party's host (i.e.
bride).

How will the FADDS Entertainment disc jockey dress
for my event?

a DJ in a tuxedo. If you want a DJ in a suit, you will get a DJ in a
suit.

by the hour?

contracted time, overtime is charged in thirty-minute increments.
