DJ Brian Vogel

      Questions to ask your DJ!

Will you be the DJ at my Event?

Yes I will! I work alone meaning I do not contract DJ work out! So the person you are talking with, is the person doing your DJ/MC service. If I am booked for your day, I will refer you to another DJ service in our area.

How long have you been in the business?

I have been on my own for 2 years. I have worked with other DJ'S as there assistant for 2 years before that. It don't take 10 of experance to be a great DJ. I work with music daily, taking Ballroom Dance lessons and Guitar lessons. I use those talents for personal use. So I will not give dance lessons at your event or try to sing or play music.

How many events do I play in a year?

I am usually some where every week-end.Fridays and Saturdays. If not a private party like a wedding reception, Brithday parties, etc. I am at a club or bar. Some people may say "don't hire a bar DJ" Will consiser this. I am constantly asked to play new music. So my music library is updated weekly! I can see what people are dancing to or not! What music is clean and is not! Which bring me to,

Where do you buy your music?

I get my music mostly from walmart.com Some from I-Tunes. Special music like Dinner Music, Wedding Cermoney Music and a few other hard to get songs I buy the CD from a specialty shop on the web or local store. ALSO 90 % of my music is of the mp3 fromat. Meaning no skipping CD's

What sound equipment do you use? 

My speakers are Yamaha S 115 club speakers backed by a Crown XTI 1000 amp. My main sound board is by Vocopro.

I use Sennheiser Wireless mics. None of this stuff is cheap and it is all of high quality. Ask any DJ!

What do you bring for lighting?

Is this your regular job?

No it is not! I work a as a customer representative and customer service for Valley National Gas. Working with a variety of different people.

 How long does it take to set up?

My average set up time is 1 hour and another 25 minutes for sound checks. This is why I arrive at least 2 hours before the 1st guest arrrives. I do have 100% on site back up equipment! It is set up and ready to go!

How much do you charge?

My average rate for the day is 450.00 for a wedding reception. Receptions are considered unlimited. Meaning I play to the end of the party. All other parties are negotiable.

Are you insured?

Yes I am! I carry a liability insurance that protects the owner of the facility that I am in. Its a bad day when a DJ shows up to set up and the owner asks for prof of insurance and A DJ don't have it and he can't set up! I have heard of this, Never seen it. But I have been asked for insurance! I usely just submit a copy to the venue to remove all doubt.

Any other questions, Write them down and we can talk at a private consultation. Bring a note pad as well to write things down. I want you to be comfortable with our DJ choice.
