FAQs

Q: Are you insured?

A: Yes-we are fully licensed and insured up to $2,000,000.

Q: What if something happens to my DJ?

A: While it’s by no means normal, occasionally incidents are unavoidable. And a big part of planning your event is having a backup plan. You don’t want to be left high-and-dry at your reception or corporate retreat, after all. And if your DJ gets a flat tire or is struck by lightning en route to your event, we have a plan. When you book with us, you’re getting a DJ no matter what! It’s as simple as that. So we always keep a professional DJ on call. That way, in the (unlikely) event that something does happen to your DJ, you’ll still get a professional, experienced, and talented event or wedding DJ. Emergencies may be unavoidable, but that’s no excuse for your event to be music-less. When you book Capital Region Entertainment you know we’ll be there!

Q: What services do you offer?

A: We offer DJ services for wedding ceremonies and receptions, corporate events, private parties, school functions, and anything in-between. We also offer lighting options (uplighting and dance floor options), special effects, and have photo booths available.

Q: What are your payment terms?

A: All we need to get started is a deposit of 30-50%. That deposit holds your date and is taken out of the final balance. Then the remaining balance is due one month before your event date. We try to make all of the payments as simple as possible. So you’re free to use debit, credit, PayPal or Venmo to make all of your payments.

Q: How do your DJs dress?

A: Our DJ’s always dress professionally! During load in and set up we wear branded polos or buttons up and before guests arrive we switch into full suit and tie!

Q: Do you have back up equipment?

A: Although our equipment is professional and well maintained, accidents are unavoidable so we always have back ups on hand!

Q: What is your DJ style?

A: We bring the party to your event! However we will never be cheesy or embarrass you or your guests! We prefer to let the music speak for itself and only speak on the microphone when necessary. Our mixing style incorporates club DJ skill with mobile DJ appeal that focuses on the crowd and playing the right music at the right time.

Q: When should I book my DJ?

A: A good time frame is at least six months before the event. However, we have DJs available for last minute events as well.

Q: Do I Tip the DJ?

A: We do not include gratuity in the final contract price. 10 – 20% is generally recommended if your DJ did a great job, but it is entirely up to you.

Q: Should we feed the DJ?

A: This is not required in our contract and is completely up to you. Typically, the catering director or event coordinator will set aside a meal or boxed dinner for the DJ if requested by the client.

Q: Is there a travel charge?

A: In most cases no. We have no travel costs for events within the Capital District. We only charge for travel if the event is more than one hour from our Albany NY location. Other states we travel to include: MA, CT, destination weddings.

Q: How interactive are your DJs?

A: This is a top concern for most of our clients. To sum it up our DJs can adapt to any level of interaction you desire. All of our DJs are also trained MCs and know how to keep people on the dancefloor and keep the event moving successfully. They can provide anything from a background announcer to nightclub party host! At the end of the day we want YOU to be the main attraction of the day!

Q: Will my DJ take a break?

A: Our DJs/MCs never take a break during your event and the music will always keep playing opposed to live bands who take breaks in-between dance sets.

Q: Will wireless mics be available?

A: Yes! We have multiple available for us at any type of event.

Q: What if I need to postpone or cancel my event?

A: Please let us know as soon as possible. Depending on your contract, you can cancel your event up to a month prior to the event and forfeit only your deposit. If you cancel within the month prior to the event, you are responsible for the full balance. Extraordinary circumstances are an exception. It remains at the discretion of Capital Region Entertainment to what constitutes an extraordinary exception.

Q: What time will my DJ arrive to set up?

A: Here at Capital Region Entertainment we always arrive at least 2 hours before your event to ensure everything is fully set up, tested, and ready to go for your event!

Q: Are you able to have a virtual booking
consultation?

A: Yes! We are currently doing all bookings/consultations/follow-ups virtually on Zoom.
