Because we have to turn away many potential clients each year due to us being completely booked, we require a non-refundable deposit of 50% to secure the date for your event. In the event you have to cancel within 30 days of your event, we have to bill you for the entire amount due because we could have freed up the date for another client. We rarely have this happen.

Our performers always arrive on-site at least an hour prior to the contracted start time of the event, and earlier as necessitated by the setup requirements of your event.

We are more than willing to provide you with a multitude of suggestions based on your preferences, and we’re perfectly comfortable selecting most (or all) of the music if you aren’t interested in doing so. Our extensive knowledge of music enables us to work with your requests and create a mood that reflects your tastes while creating a great atmosphere for all of your guests. Both your DJ and our management team are always available to answer questions or assist you in choosing the songs that will reflect your vision of your special day.

Once you’ve submitted the contact form on our website, we’ll send you a price quote in our very first response. Once you’re ready to be matched with a DJ, just answer a few easy questions and we’ll get you connected with the perfect DJ on our team.

Our standard package for events includes 4, 5 or 6 hours of performance time (additional time is available at a prorated hourly cost), setup time, breakdown time, and ALL equipment, including additional sound systems and wireless microphones for events with up to 200 guests. For events over 200 guests, a custom quote is necessary to ensure your event’s equipment and staffing needs are met. Our flat-rate pricing is refreshingly easy to understand – there are no hidden charges.

We require at least one 6-foot banquet table, with linens, and adequate power (120-volt, 15-amp circuit on a grounded outlet) within 35 feet of where the DJ will be set up. If your event will occur in multiple spaces (such as a wedding ceremony in another area) then your DJ will need another table and access to electricity in those areas as well. Talk to your DJ about any additional areas that need sound coverage and they can advise you on exactly what they need to make it happen.

Our performers use the highest quality professional-grade equipment available: Native Instruments TRAKTOR PRO, Pioneer DJ Console or RANE Serato computerized DJ systems, Pioneer and RANE mixers and controllers, Bose or JBL speakers, Sennheiser, or Shure microphones. Wireless microphones are always provided by the venue, but the DJ will always have a back up wireless microphone.

Every BrisCity DJs event is unique and we will create a custom quote based on our client needs. Our quote includes not only all the equipment needed for your event such as speakers, wireless microphone, lighting etc but also factors length of event and travel time. For BrisCity DJs pricing, please check our pricing schedule under the ‘Clients’ menu tab on our home page.

No. If you do not have to meet with your DJ before your wedding, email and phone calls are very effective and allow you to plan pretty much everything and choose the music you want played.

We are happy to meet and review all the information we’ve been planning with you along with pronunciations of names in your wedding party and any last minute details that may need discussed. We want to make sure we have all the correct information and that it’s fresh in our DJs minds the week of the wedding. If you are happy with communication via email and phone in regards your planning then a meeting may not be required.

Our dates are assigned on a first come, first served basis. It’s the only way to be fair to the large number of wedding clients that are interested in booking our services. Once you decide you’d like to book us, we will mail you an information form to fill out and send back to us to confirm your booking.

However, our references, online testimonials, and the information we provide you in our initial meeting will speak volumes of our experience, style and professionalism.

Our DJ’s will make basic MC announcements as required by you but will not provide a full MC service . If you prefer to find someone within your circle of friends and family, we can assist them throughout the night to ensure the night progresses as smoothly as possible.

If for any reason we cannot locate some of your song choices, you may bring your own copy of the songs, as long as they are on a USB. Please check with your allocated DJ prior to the event, to make sure the correct format of music is used for his system. Alternatively, it would be best to send copies of these songs to us at least 2 weeks prior to the event so that the DJ has the correct copy of specific songs you want.

All of our DJs are professionally trained in both DJ entertainment and public speaking / MC duties. Our wedding DJs have been fully trained in the formalities and responsibilities associated with wedding entertainment and have been providing entertainment during the peak wedding season most weekends for multiple years. We regularly conduct further training and work to achieve the highest standards of entertainment available. We also have a list of standards and procedures that every DJ meets to ensure everything runs smoothly and you can relax knowing we will do our job.

It is standard for most events to provide the DJ with a main meal. This is because the DJ does not take breaks and has no chance to leave for a meal. With setup, pack up and travel, the DJ often works over 8 hours straight. For general functions with a less time scale the DJ generally eats prior to the function.

If there is something you wish to ask which has not been covered or if you desire more in-depth information, please do not hesitate to email or call or use the contact form for any booking enquiry. It would be our pleasure to provide assistance.

We are happy for our DJs to play overtime as long as the venue is happy to stay open. We do ask that you let us know if overtime is a possibility so that we can book your DJ in with the understanding that they may need to work later than planned and also so they can plan their playlist accordingly. The overtime charge is $200 per hour and you can pay in 30-minute increments. It will always be at the DJs discretion and most of the time they will be more than happy to do so.

When serious illness or accident strikes, we have an on call DJ ready with equipment that we can brief and instantly dispatch. As part of our emergency backup system, our DJs take the additional step of preparing the music requests and paperwork for each event on our schedule and uploading them to a shared drive in case of emergency. This enables us to ensure that our clients will have a professional DJ, prepared with their specific music requests and event details, no matter what.

It’s a good idea to get started early and spent 10 minutes working on a basic song list.
Closer to the day the DJ will need a copy of your running sheet, which will usually be devised in conjunction with your venue supervisor or event planner.

We get you to supply us with a list of “do not play” songs to inform us of music that you think is inappropriate or of a style you don’t like.

However, if you wish to select more or less songs than this or dictate exactly what songs you want us to play from start to finish, we respect your choice to do so.

Two weeks prior is best and seven days prior is the minimum that we can guarantee we’ll have all the songs on the list ready for you. Its best to send in a list the week prior and then add any last-minute song additions 2-3 days later if required.
