• FAQ

    • Will our DJ act as an MC during our event?

      Yes! In most cases when you book with McRay's Professional DJ's, there will be both a DJ and MC at your event. This is one of the services we offer that is key to the success of your event.

    • How long will our DJ play music?

      We charge for a minimum of four hours. If you are having fun and want the DJ to play longer, we do offer overtime.

    • Is it customary to tip the DJ?

      Gratuities given are made at the client’s sole discretion. 10% to 20% of the total fee is customary for an excellent performance.

    • How early will our DJ arrive to set up?

      Generally 1 to 2 hours. This will vary depending on the additional options you choose.

    • Do you allow requests at the events?

      Absolutely! Our goal is to make sure that your event is memorable for both you and your guests. Requests give us an idea of not only specific songs, but also genres that your guests enjoy listening and dancing to. However, you as the client will have an opportunity to give us a "Do Not Play" list and if a guest requests a song that is on that list, we will politely tell them we cannot play it for them.

    • How much experience do you have?

      We have been working together as McRay's Professional DJ's, entertaining the Southern Tier and beyond since 2005. Prior to going into business together, we both had club DJ & private party/wedding experience. 

    • How far do you travel and do you charge anything for travel?

      We are willing to travel just about anywhere. There may be a travel and/or lodging fee depending on the distance. The cost would be determined prior to the contract signing.

    • Can I come “watch” you perform at a live event?

      Unfortunately it is bad etiquette to allow potential clients to come to a private party and watch us perform. If it is a public event, we encourage you to come check us out. Make sure you stop and say "Hello"! Please take a look at out Public Events page for a listing of places and dates you can see us. 

    • Do you provide a microphone for your events?

      Yes! However, unless it is for a toast or blessing or was previously arranged, we do not allow guests or clients to use our microphone. If there are additional announcements to be made, we will be happy to make them for you.

    • Do you provide wedding reception/event planning?

      Yes! We will meet with you in person or by phone (whichever is easier for you) about 2 weeks prior to your day and plan the timeline of events. On your special day, we will coordinate with other vendors involved (caterers, photographers, venue staff, ect.). You can show up and enjoy yourselves and be confident that we will take care of all the little details. We are also available for any questions or advice whether DJ or non-DJ related anytime prior to your day.

    • Do you provide a written contract?

      Yes! In order to fully secure our services, we require a signed contract as well as a deposit. You will have the ability to sign your contract either in person or electronically through your personalized client web page. You can also view and print your contract at any time.

    • What will you wear to my event?

      You can be guaranteed that we will look very professional at your event. We can also customize our attire to fit your needs.

    • Do you drink alcohol at events you are involved in?

      Absolutely NOT!

    • Do I really have to spend that much on a DJ?

      There are dozens of mobile DJ companies in this area. Our price point falls just about middle of the road. Here is a very informative website we found to help answer this question in regards to wedding receptions www.Perfectweddings.us
