Booking basics.
How do we check availability and pricing?
Start with Check Your Date, then tell us your venue, event type, guest count, timing, and services. We offer several DJ experience levels and booth options; your quote depends on your event.
When should we book?
Book as early as possible. Dates can fill quickly, so check availability before making plans around a particular service or entertainer.
Do you use a contract, and are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We use a written contract, maintain a business license, and carry liability insurance. Check your venue’s insurance requirements in advance. We can provide proof of insurance by email or fax before your event on request.
Where do you provide services?
We serve the Northshore, New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and surrounding Louisiana and Mississippi communities, including Covington, Mandeville, Slidell, Hammond, and the Gulf Coast. We can travel farther; travel and lodging costs increase with distance. Ask about your venue.
Your soundtrack
DJs & lighting.
Which DJ experience is right for our event?
Class A is our most experienced, owner-level option. Class B offers experienced DJs for weddings and other celebrations. Class C is a developing DJ option for budget events and is not available for weddings. Compare the DJ experiences.
What deposit is required for a DJ booking?
A $300 non-refundable deposit must be received within five days of booking. It reserves your date and is credited toward your total. A photo booth booked as well requires an additional $300 non-refundable deposit.
When is the DJ balance due, and how can we pay?
We accept cash, checks, money orders, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Crescent City Trade Exchange, and 985 Trade.
Final payment on the event date is accepted in cash after equipment setup, unless other arrangements have been made with us in writing beforehand. Repeat customers, businesses, schools, and universities may pay by check on the event date only with advance approval.
Checks must be sent at least 10 days before your event. Credit-card payments can be called in to our office during normal business hours before the day of the event. DJs cannot accept credit cards on site.
What equipment do you use?
We use professional sound equipment from QSC, JBL, and NEXO. Our systems can accommodate different spaces, from homes to gyms, and are designed for clear sound at background and dance-floor levels.
What lighting options are available?
We offer lighting add-ons for a range of budgets. For specialized or large-scale lighting, we work with See-Hear Productions. Explore sound, visuals, and lighting.
What music do you play, and how often is it updated?
We offer a wide music selection managed on laptops, so DJs can find requests quickly. Our music is updated monthly through professional music services; we do not use free music downloads. A typical hour accommodates about 15–20 songs.
Can we send requests and a do-not-play list?
Yes. Send songs you love and songs you do not want played. Your DJ can also adjust the music to the crowd. Class C DJs may benefit from more detailed song guidance.
Wedding selections and any required music for specialized events should reach us at least two weeks before the event. Contact our office for the wedding selection sheet and send requests through our Contact page.
What do we need to provide for the DJ?
Please provide a sturdy six-foot or comparable table, skirted if needed, and electricity within 25 feet of the DJ area. Let us know in advance if you cannot supply a table so we can bring one.
Do you have backup equipment?
Class A and B DJ packages include backup equipment on site. For Class C, backup equipment is available off site and would need to be delivered.
Does the quote include travel and venue charges?
When you provide accurate venue information, applicable travel, lodging, and per diem costs are included in the original base DJ quote. Extra charges imposed by the venue, such as load-in elevator or electrical access fees, are passed on to the client.
Can we have a DJ and a band?
Yes—some events use both. A DJ offers a broad music selection and can adapt to the crowd, while a band brings a live performance. Contact us to discuss the entertainment mix for your event.
Can we add a photo booth?
Yes. You can book DJ and photo booth services together. Explore the booths and see our current combo offer for eligibility and terms.
Are tips accepted?
Tips are welcome but entirely optional. Any gratuity should be paid directly to your entertainer, rather than to the company.
Make a memory
Photo booths.
Can we book a photo booth without a DJ?
Yes. Photo booth staff operate separately from the DJ team, whether you book one service or both. At a combined event, your DJ can help let guests know the booth is available.
What deposit is required for a photo booth?
A $300 non-refundable deposit per photo booth booking must be received within five days of booking. It reserves your date and is credited toward the total cost.
When is the photo booth balance due, and how can we pay?
The final balance is due three days before your event. We accept cash, checks, money orders, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Crescent City Trade Exchange, and 985 Trade.
Credit cards may be paid online or through the office during normal business hours, up to three days before the event. Checks must be sent at least 10 days before the event.
If you plan to pay cash on arrival on the event date, notify us in advance. Other day-of arrangements must be agreed with us in writing. Repeat customers, businesses, schools, and universities may pay by check on the event date only with advance approval. Booth staff cannot accept credit cards on site.
What setup does the booth need?
Provide electricity within 25 feet of the booth area and a four- to six-foot table. Let us know beforehand if you need us to bring a table. Discuss your selected booth and venue layout with our office before the event.
Does the booth need internet?
Fast Wi-Fi is required for instant social sharing. A mobile hotspot may be an option, but service depends on cellular coverage. Basic photo-strip printing does not require internet.
For the digital Sharing Booth, tell us at booking if the venue has no internet. Without a connection, media is uploaded to the gallery the next business day.
What is included with each booth?
Features vary by booth. Our printing experiences and Enchanted Mirror differ from the digital, non-printing Sharing Booth, 360 video, and other options. The Sharing Booth does not include printing, props, a scrapbook, flash drive, backdrop, or DSLR camera. Compare current booth packages and inclusions.
Do you have backup equipment and event support?
Our office team is available during weekday office hours for questions. Our original booth service includes on-site backup equipment for cameras, computers, and printers to help restore service if equipment fails. Contact us for the setup details of your chosen experience.
What is the social sharing kiosk?
The kiosk is separate from the booth and lets guests revisit and share their pictures. A fast internet connection is needed for online sharing. It is included with the mirror booth and available at an additional charge for regular photo booths.
Can the Enchanted Mirror be used in direct sunlight?
Direct sunlight or a very bright outdoor setting can interfere with the mirror’s infrared touchscreen and make animations look washed out. Discuss placement and lighting with us before choosing an outdoor setup.
Which backdrops are available?
Choose gold, silver, or black sequin. You can see photos of all three on the Photo Booths page.
Where can guests find their photos?
Open our client galleries to find your event photos.
