FAQ's About NightHawk DJ Service

Yes. You may submit in advance a general "taste" of music that you would like played for your guests. I also accept must-play and do-not-play songs. Most of this is discussed during our first consultation.

Absolutely. Some DJs will not take requests during live events, but I am more than happy to do so. I believe in extreme customer service and it is my goal to make you and your guests happy.

Yes. There is a difference between the sound equipment you use at home and equipment used during a live event. Professional gear is durable and generally more expensive. I use JBL speakers and Dell computers among other pieces of equipment.

I have been doing live entertainment for over 30 years with experience in weddings, proms, school dances, church events, anniversary parties and block parties.

I always dress based on how the customer wants me to dress. It could be a suit, tuxedo, or casual clothes. Weddings would definitely be a tuxedo or suit.

I carry at all times a backup amp and fuses. Even though I have professional equipment, it can still fail. This is your event, so rest assured I will do all I can to make sure equipment failure doesn't ruin your party.

I am local to the Millstadt, IL area and will travel anywhere within a 50-mile radius without any extra charges. Travel rates apply beyond 50 miles.

All types of events. I specialize in weddings, dance parties and school proms. I have a lighting show that accommodates dances and proms very nicely. I also have an extensive collection of dance and alternative music, and I do bars, corporate events and all types of parties.

No. Unfortunately it is bad etiquette to allow potential clients to come to a private party and view how I work. If it is a public event, that would be different.

Yes. Please see the Wedding and Party Packages for more information.

I arrive 1½ hours prior to the event to set up. I will also stay up to 1 hour after each event. If you want me earlier, charges may apply for the time.

Yes. I can have a wireless microphone available for your ease of use. All mics are included in all shows (no hidden charges).

Included in my overall price of wedding receptions is planning and coordinating. It takes coordination between the wedding party, DJ, and caterer to provide a quality reception. I sit down with you at a future consultation and help you plan out your reception.

A big yes. You should not do business with a DJ or anyone else that does not agree to give you a written contract with event info and final price on it.
