Frequently Asked Questions
(or, at least what should be asked)

• Who will be doing my reception/party?
  With Kenneth Day Weddings, you always know who your DJ/MC is, because you will meet with them at least twice. After all, you want to make sure the person in charge of your most important day is someone you are comfortable with.
   

• How much experience does your prospective DJ/MC have?
  How important is your day to you? If it’s your wedding day, it’s probably very important. Do you want to take a chance on a less experienced DJ/MC?
  
  We have been in business since 1978, and are always striving to be a better entertainer for you!

• What is included in the packages?
  I custom tailor every element to meet your needs and desires as well as ensuring it is all venue appropriate. Kenneth Day Weddings utilizes wireless microphones for toasts and announcements? I will act as Master-of-Ceremonies (MC) for your event (if you desire)?

• Kenneth Day Weddings offers a variety of wireless microphones (hand- held and lavaliere, as needed). I also offer mood uplighting to enhance your party atmosphere.
   

• Does the prospective entertainment company take requests?
  It is very important to ask about the music selection. Will the music they provide meet your needs? If the music selection is slim, many requests will not be fulfilled.
  
  Kenneth Day Weddings will gladly take requests if that is your desire. I will bring a vast digital music library (over 280,000 songs) so that most of your guests requests can be met - I even offer you an online song list creation tool so that you may make requests before we even show up at your wedding - FREE!  I offer a wide range of genres that include Big Band Swing, Oldies, Classic Rock/Pop, Country, Disco, Latin, and today’s Top-40/Dance/Hip-Hop, and so much more.
  

• Can the prospective entertainment company provide references?
  Employers require references, why shouldn’t you?
  I have several testimonials and references on file for your review.

• Does the prospective entertainer dress appropriately?
  With Kenneth Day Weddings, you will get an entertainer who will be attired appropriately for your event. If your party is a theme party, rest assured we will play the part. We are professionals – we want to ensure we dress in the manner you desire.
   

• Does the prospective entertainment company utilize professional DJ equipment?
  Only professional DJ equipment is built to stand up to the rigors of providing music hours on end. I-Pods, Home stereos and sound systems from your local chain store are NOT in the professional gear category.
  
  
  Kenneth Day Weddings uses all professional equipment from reputable manufacturers. Whether your party is for 10 or 10,000, I have the perfect system for you.

• Is there a written contract?
  With Kenneth Day Weddings, you will always receive a Reservation Agreement, protecting your entertainment investment and allowing me the required paperwork for my $1,000,000.00 liability insurance coverage.
  
  DO NOT DEAL WITH ANY ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY WITHOUT A WRITTEN CONTRACT, A BUSINESS LICENSE, or LIABILITY INSURANCE!
  

• Does the prospective entertainment company have back-up equipment?
  What is the ability of the entertainer to keep the music going, in case of equipment failure?
  
  Kenneth Day Weddings carries back-up professional equipment on -the - spot, in the unlikely event of failure. I do this for your peace of mind and our expected level of professionalism.
   

• Now is the time to ask, “HOW MUCH?”
  When you have all of the information, you are now able to figure out what the entertainment company service is worth to you. Each reception/party is unique. Please visit us online or give us a call to discuss the details and the final entertainment services fee/quote and to set up your no cost and no obligation consultation appointment.

SERVICE GUARANTEE
(My commitment to you, my client.)

• The volume will be set to appropriate levels at all times. During cocktails and lunch/dinner we play music softly enough so that guests can carry on conversations without having to shout. When it's time to dance, the music is made louder, but not painfully so.

• If you ever find it to be either too loud or too soft, tell me and I'll adjust the volume level to your preference - immediately.

• I will arrive early. Whenever possible, our equipment will be set up, tested, and sound checked before your 1st guest arrives.

• All of my staff will be dressed appropriately. There is never an added fee for your requested attire.

• I will act professionally. I won't drink alcohol, smoke or eat before or during your event.

• I will treat you and your guests with professional courtesy. I will work hard to keep objectionable lyrics out of our show and keep it "family-friendly" (unless you specifically ask otherwise).

• I will use only professional and well-maintained equipment. Your event will NEVER have to end early due to equipment failure.

• My sound system will be adjusted to the acoustics of your room.

• Your event will receive our full attention. You deserve nothing less.

• You are entitled to receive a personal entertainment consultation carefully covering all the details of your event.

• Whenever possible, the final consultation will be held at least one week prior to the event (not one or two days before). For your safety and convenience, Consultations may be done at a location of your choice, such as your home or a restaurant/cafe of your choosing.

• I am always available to discuss details of your event by telephone or e-mail.

• I will give you my cell phone number so that you can quickly reach me in an emergency. The week of the event I will check back with you to make those last-minute confirmations.

• All conditions on your contract will be fulfilled.

My Personnel Standards
(Kenneth Day Weddings Rules for Employment)

• To ensure Quality Service to our customers, all Kenneth Day Weddings staff must meet or exceed the following additional standards:

• Appearance must always be professional and clean-cut. In addition to professional attire (clean, neatly pressed, and not torn) this means:

• Hair must be neat (preferably short).

• Earrings (if worn) must be small and unobtrusive.

• Visible tattoos and body rings (other than earrings) are not permitted.

• Men with mustaches and/or beards must keep them short and neatly trimmed. All other men must be clean-shaven.

• For loading in/out before/after the party, everyone must come dressed in polo shirts, clean/neat pants(not torn) (No blue jeans) or shorts, socks, and sneakers or boots.

• In cold weather, turtleneck shirts may be worn under the polo shirts, and jackets may be worn over them.

• Since we almost always wear black or dark blue suit pants during the party, black socks and black shoes must be worn to match (unless told otherwise by the client)

• Short skirts or "skimpy" outfits are not permitted. Shorts for the performance are generally not permitted (unless told otherwise by the client).

• Shoes must be polished (they should not appear scuffed or worn).

• Switch cell phone pagers to vibrate or silent mode (if not possible, turn them off) and put them away/out of reach for the duration of the events (to not be distracted by them).

• Do NOT accept tips from guests for playing specific songs or doing specific things. Respond to the guest by saying something like "We'll be happy to play any APPROPRIATE requests that you have (with the client’s prior approval). Your tips are not needed."

• NEVER use any kind of foul language, off-color humor, or racial/bigoted language or gestures (not even between ourselves) while at the venue (including during setup and breakdown). This includes not making negative comments about anyone's choice of music.

• Our parties must ALWAYS be fully friendly to FAMILIES of all ages, races, colors, religions, sexes, sexual orientations, etc. Even if a guest (or client) uses any of this kind of language, we must be careful not to.

• Do not drink alcohol or smoke before or during the event.

• Always be friendly, open, and respectful to guests, clients, and any other professional staff at the event (even if one of these people are being abusive to us)

• Whenever reasonable, the client MUST be considered to be RIGHT even if we disagree (it's OK to explain why we think a choice is poor, but if they insist we should comply)

• Do not "hit on" or try to "pick up" people at the event. We are there to entertain, not to arrange dates.

• Cooperate with venue staff. There's a tight line to walk here. If the banquet manager requests something that is at odds with the customer, we need to try and work it out with both of them. If that is not possible, the MC will choose (on a case-by-case basis) which one to side with.

• Allow sufficient travel time so that you arrive at the designated event location (office or event site) at the designated set-up time

HAVE FUN!
