Below is a list of our most frequently asked questions and answers to them. If you don't find your answer here, please contact us at 330-503-0939 or email us at thebomb102djservice@zoominternet.net and Sean will be happy to answer your question.
|
|
|
Will the music be appropriate for all ages?
|
|
Generally, yes. All of our newer music is received from a promotional music company that services radio stations nationwide. However, no matter radio edit or not, some songs just are not appropriate for all ages. We reserve the right to request permission from the person in charge of the event to play the song or not.
|
|
Are you going to "advertise" your service at my event?
|
|
Absolutely not! We will NEVER display a banner, although there are some services in this market who do, nor will we get on the microphone and encourage people to book our service. The best and most effective advertising is word of mouth and we feel that our performance will be enough to gain more business. We will display business cards next to the request sheet and also hand them out to anyone who comes and requests information, however, we will not "push" our services at an event you paid us for!
The only time you will see us "advertise" at an event is when we are invited to play at another venue such as a bridal show or store.
|
|
Will you eat at my event? Can I offer you food?
|
|
Yes you may offer us food, however, it is not required but it is courteous and appreciated. We often go several hours without eating or drinking in preparation for events. We will not take food unless offered by either you or the caterer.
|
|
What exactly am I responsible for to ensure everything goes smoothly at my event?
|
|
We'll take care of most of the work but there are a few small things you can do to make the event run smoothly:
1. Please make sure you complete the “wedding format sheet” or “event sheet” and get it to us at least 48 hours prior to the start of your reception or event. This will give us time to get organized and be well prepared for your reception or event.
2. Arrange for us to be at the location at least 2 hours prior to the beginning of your event or reception and make sure someone will be there to let us in. Please leave us with a contact number for this person as well.
3. Make sure we have a designated table, at least 6 feet in length, with a table skirt (not a cloth as this can created a suffocation effect on our equipment) along with 2 chairs.
4. Please be mindful of your guests and watch for those who have had well…too much to drink as they tend to pesture the DJ and create a hostile environment. To keep the event or reception running smoothly, if you see them approaching the DJ numerous times, please advise them to stay away in a kind fashion.

Can I give you a CD containing the songs I want played or can I plug my mp3 player/iPod into your system?
|
|
Absolutely! We have a sound mixer that enables us to input any external device with a headphones or "phono" output. Anything you can plug standard headphones into, we can plug into our system.
Now, with our 20,000+ song music library, we generally prefer to utilize our own music library, so if we don't for some reason have the song or specific version, we will be glad to make this accomodation for you. You may also email us an mp3 copy of the song before the reception and we will put it into our system, eliminating the need to bring the external device.
|
|
How much do you charge?
|
|
Every event is different so we will quote you a price. A reasonable quote by any DJ service in this market is between $500-$800 for a 4-6 hour wedding reception. You should raise questions about the quality of service & ask for references if you're quoted any lower or higher.
With The Bomb 102 DJ Service, your quoted price includes: Lights, Professional sound system, Wireless microphone system, 20,000+ song music library, Set-up & tear down, Event planning & coordination, Unlimited customer care, Flexible payment options, and more.
Please fill out any availability form on this website, email us at thebomb102djservice@zoominternet.net, or call us at 330-503-0939.
|
|
What are my payment options?
|
|
Generally you may pay by cash or check. You may also pay online via PayPal with your credit card for an additional $10 fee. Please note you must create a PayPal account to use PayPal.
|
|
I found another service that quoted me a cheaper rate than you, I wasn't planning on "spending" that much, my "friend" will do it for free, I/someone else "knows" someone who will do it for half the price...
|
|
Please keep in mind the DJ will likely be the most remembered element of your reception and will be the one responsible for making your reception run smoothly.
When we quote you a price it is based on the amount of hours of the reception, how many guests your expecting, location of the reception, and planning & prep time needed for the reception. You may think that you're only being quoted for the length of your reception when in reality you're getting far more than you think. Please keep in mind, we must spend several hours before the reception preparing ourselves & equipment.
A DJ with low end equipment, doing it "on the side", or who isn't going to make any effort to prepare ahead of your time for your reception is willing to conduct your special day for $400 or even less just to make a few extra dollars.
A few words of caution about having "family" or "friends" be your DJ. This is your special day, wouldn't you rather have your friend/family member out there having a good time with you? Do they utilize professional equipment? How many weddings have they done? Wouldn't you rather spend a little more and put the reception in trust of a professional entertainment service, since this is your "wedding reception", perhaps the single most important day in your entire life?

|
Does your service require me to sign a contract?
|
|
Absolutely! Any professional service for any type of service is CONTRACTED WORK and must be agreed upon by both parties. DO NOT ever engage in any business that does not have a written contract signed by both parties.
|
|
Are there any extra add ons I'll need from my quoted price?
|
|
As far as our service and features, your quoted price is the entire price and includes everything we have to offer. We don't believe in nickel and diming people to death! The only exception is if you decide you want additional hours during the event. At that time, the overtime fee discussed in the contact would need to be paid prior to the begining of overtime.
Also if you are paying via PayPal there is a $10 processing fee added to your quoted price.
|
|
When will you come and set-up?
|
|
The Bomb 102 DJ Service would appreciate it if we can be at the location at least 2 hours before the start of the event to ensure adequate set-up and sound check of equipment. You are responsible for arranging this!
|
|
Will you be my DJ or am I going to meet the actual DJ just before the event starts?
|
|
The Bomb 102 DJ Service is ran by one DJ, DJ Sean Melnik a.k.a. "Sean Da Bomb". He is the star, founder, and owner of The Bomb 102 DJ Service and the only DJ of The Bomb 102 DJ Service. You will talk to him and work with him from the day you inquire about The Bomb 102 DJ Service! He may bring along help for set up and security but he is the DJ!
