Frequently Asked Questions

What sets your company apart from others?
Our DJs! Our Wedding DJs have more experience, more polished professionalism than any other in Maryland and Pennsylvania. We have performed for Ramshead Live, Random House, McCormick, U.S.S. Constellation, Baltimore World Trade Center, Hyatt Regency Baltimore, Martin's East/West/Crosswinds/Westminster, Valencia Ballroom

Who are your Disc Jockeys?
Our company is comprised of seasoned personalities who have an enormous amount of wedding entertainment experience. Their skills are kept sharp by busy wedding schedules and our ongoing training and seminars.

Do I get to speak with my Disc Jockey?
Of course! The owner Barry Hart will personally drive out to your house to go over the details of your event. Barry will then type up an itinerary for the event, which you approve first, and he will coordinate all of the activities with your photographer, videographer, and caterer. Barry is available 7 days a week from 8AM-11PM at (410) 329-6067 or (800) 660-0447.

What will the DJ wear?
A classic black tuxedo, unless you request otherwise.

I'm going to need a lot of guidance as I plan my wedding. Can you help?
One of the most important services we offer, which is part of hiring PartyTyme Entertainment, is the assistance of the owner Barry Hart. He will help you carefully plan every detail of your once in a lifetime event and is available to talk 7 days a week from 8AM-11PM at the office number.

Will the DJ play my requests?
Absolutely. Contrary to the beliefs of some people, WE KNOW it's your day. Your DJ will play the songs on the music list that you've created using our online interactive database and steer clear of those that you don't want.

What if we want to hear a song that's not on the play list?
Beyond what you see in our music database, we have a master music library that contains more than 45,000 songs, virtually everything popular from the Big Band Era to today's Top 40. So, if you don't see a particular selection, call us, there's a good chance that it's in our library.

Do I have to pick all the music?
No. We believe that the best events are those where you have given us guidelines and we do what we do best.

What does the equipment look like?
You'll be happy to know that we believe in filling the room with sound, NOT equipment. Our CD/Digital sound systems are attractive, compact and deliver high quality coverage. They include a wireless microphone for all of your announcements and toasts. You will not need to supply cables, all we need is an outlet. Plus, we take the time to hide all of the wires and cables out of sight.

How about the volume level?
There's nothing worse than having to yell over loud music. We are very conscience of people's sensitivity to noise. The speakers are placed above the ear-level of the guests and your DJ will continuously monitor the room and sound level.

Our cocktail hour is going to be in a separate room from the reception. Is that a problem?
No. We suggest that you opt for us to set up a second sound system which allows for uninterrupted music as your guests mingle and enjoy hors d'oeuvres.

Do you provide music for the ceremony?
We often provide the ceremony music. Let us know if the ceremony is in the same area as the reception, or a different location. We'll handle it and be happy to share our ideas for processionals, recessionals and classical pieces.

Do you have back-up equipment?
Yes. We bring plenty of extra gear...just in case.

Do you put up any signs or banners?
Absolutely Not!

What if, due to an emergency, my DJ can't make it to the reception?
If the DJ is medically unable to attend, we will send our on-call DJ to your reception. We have a DJ on-call 365 days of the year, just in case. In our twenty year history, we have never missed an event.

Does the DJ require a meal?
Most per-meal charges are excessive; please do not feel compelled to include the DJ in the meal count, many times the DJs can "fend for themselves". You may wish to ask your caterer if "vendor meals" are provided.

Is it appropriate to tip the DJ?
If you feel your disc jockey has delivered exceptional service, a tip will be appreciated.

What if, at the reception, we want the DJ to play beyond the contracted time?
This happens more than you think and it is no problem! The DJ would rather stay and party than go home. Simply authorize the DJ to stay as long as you want. Overtime charges will be found on your contract that you sign.
