FAQs

Your Questions, Answered.

  • Q: How do I secure my date?

    A: It is a streamlined, professional process designed to ensure we are a perfect creative match.

    • Creative Sync: We talk through your overall musical vision and review the venue's technical layout.

    • Services Suite: Post-call, I launch your custom selection menu. You use this to pick your performance block and select the travel path that fits your setup.

    • Booking Suite: Once your selections are confirmed, I send over your finalized contract and invoice to officially secure your date on the calendar.

    • Music Blueprint: We finalize the run-of-show and music direction (30 days out), and I head into the studio to prepare your custom saxophone arrangements (and DJ sets if I am leading the sound).

    Q: Do you travel for destination weddings?

    A: Yes. I handle all the logistics so you don't have to.

    • Local: Travel is complimentary within 30 miles of Studio City.

    • Regional & Beyond: For events in Santa Barbara, Palm Springs, and beyond, I provide a single flat fee that covers all travel and lodging (if applicable). No hidden costs.

  • Q: What is the difference between the “Artist" and "Production"?

    A: It comes down to who controls the room.

    • The Artist: You have a DJ, but you want energy. I join your team as a featured artist to elevate the dance floor.

    • The Production: I provide the sound, the mix, the Emcee duties, and the live sax. You hire one expert to manage the entire run-of-show.

    Q: If I book a "Production" package, do I need a separate DJ?

    A: For full-day and evening reception Production packages, no—I manage the live DJ sets, MC hosting, pro sound systems, and live saxophone in one cohesive setup. For early-day or standalone production packages (such as Ceremony & Cocktail), I handle all music and sound so your hired evening DJ can simply take over for the reception.

  • Q: Can we request specific songs?

    A: Absolutely. This is your soundtrack. You provide your "Must-Plays" and/or "Do-Not-Plays" in the Music Design Profile. I build the set list around those pillars.

    • Regarding Guest Requests: I am happy to take them, but I act as a filter. If a guest requests a song that fits the vibe we established, I play it. If it clears the dance floor or if you’d rather no guest requests, I politely pivot.

    Q: Do you play from a set list?

    A: I play to the room, using your preferences as my compass. I don't stick to a rigid script because a great party is a living thing. I read the crowd in real-time, freestyling over the tracks to keep the energy peaking.

  • Q: What do you need from the venue?

    A: My footprint is minimal. For multi-room or full DJ-hybrid Production packages, I require venue access at least 2 hours prior to guest arrival for setup, wireless tuning, and soundcheck. For Artist packages and single-location Production setups, access 1 hour prior is standard. I simply need one dedicated 15-amp power outlet at each active audio location.

    Q: Are you insured?

    A: Yes. I carry full commercial liability insurance and will provide a COI (Certificate of Insurance) to your venue upon booking.
