Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a DJ and a professional MC?
I handle the flow as well as the soundtrack. A professional MC welcomes guests, steers the timeline, introduces key moments and keeps the energy right between them.
Can you guarantee the exact version of our first dance?
Yes. I source and test the exact version you want and hold verified backups, so there are no surprises when you step onto the floor.
Can we choose the music?
Yes. You get a simple five-list system, must-plays, play if it fits, dedications, do-not-plays, and vibes you love. I read the room on the night so the energy never dips.
We prefer low-key hosting. Is that OK?
Absolutely. Hosting can be warm and unobtrusive with minimal mic time. You set the tone and I follow it.
Do you provide sound for speeches?
Yes. Discreet PA and quality wireless mics. I also give quick coaching so speakers feel confident and are heard clearly.
Can you work with a band?
Yes. I coordinate handovers and keep the atmosphere between sets so momentum is not lost.
