Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How
much experience do you have DJ-ing weddings?
A.
DJ HUBERT has been DJ-ing weddings for 16 years.
Q. Can DJ
HUBERT accommodate events other then weddings?
A.
Definitely! Just let us know when and where! We love Birthdays,
Engagement Parties, Jack ‘N Jills, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, Retirements,
Reunions, Corporate and Charity Events as well as Office Christmas
Parties! Please email us directly for special pricing.
Q. How
much does DJ HUBERT charge for a party that is less than 8 hours?
A.
For all events happening on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday prices
quoted on our website are for ANY amount of time up to 8 hours. The
reason being, that once we are booked for your event, we cannot
accept any other bookings for that day. DJ HUBERT provides a written
service agreement to guarantee your booking. Please email us for
special Monday – Thursday pricing! As well, we may offer a discount
for less hours if you are less then 30 days from your event date and
we are not yet booked.
Q. Can you
play longer than 8 hours?
A.
If the party is in full swing and you hate to have to call an end to
it all, DJ HUBERT can continue past our 8-hour time block or past 1:00 AM for an additional $100.00/hour.
Q. How
much do you charge to travel out of town?
A. Hockley Valley - $150 travel fee, plus
accomodation.
Milton,
Georgetown, Acton, Halton, Caledon, Burlington, King City, Bolton,
Newmarket, Oshawa or anything that
requires us getting on a boat - $100 to cover our gas, travel time,
kilometeres and possible sea sickness!
Q. When do
I pay you and what's the deal with the deposit?
A.
A deposit of $300.00 will be due within one (1) week of your
consultation date and can be returned with your signed contract to
our offices. We will send you an invoice and a copy of your contract
with our signatures. The remaining balance is due 14 days from your
event date or can be paid in advance at your follow-up consultation.
Q. What is
your cancellation policy?
A.
If you cancel more than 30 days before your event, only the deposit
will be forfeited. Less than 30 days before your event, the entire
fee will be due.
Q. Do you
take requests and will you play our favourite CDs?
A.
Of course! We'll try to accommodate as many requests as possible.
Feel free to bring along your favourite CDs with your tracks clearly
labelled and we'll try to play those as well.
Q. How far
in advance do I have to book you?
A. Since
DJ HUBERT currently books only ONE wedding/night we tend to book-up
quickly! We recommend that you contact us at least a year in advance
to get first dibs on our availability for your event. The sooner,
the better! Contact us directly for our most recent availability.
Q. Sounds
amazing! How can I book DJ HUBERT?
A.
Click on the contact button at the top of our web page and send us
an email! Hubert will get back to you as soon as possible to set-up
a no-obligation consultation to discuss your music needs. Thanks for
visiting our website!
Q. Can you
provide music for the wedding ceremony?
A.
Yes! However, we do charge a double set-up fee of $100 for
setting-up twice, doing another soundcheck and moving all our
equipment around. If your ceremony falls within your 8 hour time
period – there is no overtime fee. If you need us there earlier,
additional hours are available at $100/hour. We move our equipment
as quickly and discreetly as possible as to not disturb your guests.
DJ HUBERT will need about 15-20 minutes to make the change over. If
your ceremony is at another venue and earlier in the day, there is a
3 hour minimum for DJ HUBERT to arrive and play for your ceremony.
Q. My
venue has its own sound system. Will your fee be less because there
is less equipment involved?
A.
Our rate does remain the same as we do only book (1) wedding a day.
We still definitely do the same thing DJ-wise, however we just don’t
bring 2 speakers with us for set-up, everything else is the same. We
will still bring our mixer, dual CD players, laptop and microphones
to plug into their system.
Q. Can I
see you perform at an event in-person?
A.
The majority of the events that we perform at are private weddings.
Our clients generally decline a request of having strangers attend
their event – I am sure you would probably feel weird too! We do
have to respect the privacy of our clients and we understand that
they are concerned with the security of their event, with gifts and
money boxes floating around! Every wedding we DJ is different. So
the music we play for one client (they like indie rock, you like
dance and top 40) is completely different for the next. However, we
sometimes perform at charity events. We can let you know if that
happens and you can visit us then!
Q. Do you
have slideshow equipment (projector & screen) that I can rent?
A. Slideshow equipment is not
included in our DJ package, however we can add a projector set up to
the package for an additional $200.
