We know you have lots of questions you'd like to ask. Below are some of the
most frequently asked questions we get from our prospective clients.
Of course, if there's something you can't find an answer to, please
contact us and we'll give you a quick response.
Why do you pay more for a Lexus than you do a Kia? With Now That's Entertainment, you receive experienced entertainers,
a full light package and a wireless microphone package at no extra charge, a memory CD that has all your special event
songs on it and all toasts and speeches given at your event will be recorded on there also. But, the most important thing
you get with Now That's Entertainment is peace of mind. With Now That's Entertainment, you can rest assured that your reception
entertainment will be the best it can be. You and your guests will have a great time and all your special events will be
done as you wish. You have spent so much time, effort, and money planning your walk down the aisle, make the
end of your day just as special as the beginning.
A lot. All DJ's play music. But, that's where the similarities between other services and ours end.
From meeting with you to discuss your wishes, to working with your banquet hall to work out all details of set up,
space, and other requirements, to interacting with your guests the night of your event, we take care of so much.
It leaves you with one BIG less thing to worry about. You have enough on your plate that day. Of course, things like
our memory CD seperate us from the others also.
Yes. We are a small company with two entertainers and one system. Most of the time, we work together so you get
two entertainers both with different styles that compliment each other well. However, we are our own backup.
If one of us is sick, or can't make it for another reason, the other will always be there. And, since we both have
hundreds of weddings in our 'resume,' you are guaranteed to have an experienced entertainer at your event.
No! We do charge extra for mileage (50 miles from Madison is included) and if we need to move the equipment after
its set up (ex: if we play music for your ceremony), but we find out all this information when we first talk to you.
The price you are quoted is the price you will pay. No hidden charges, no surprises.
Yes. Not only do we meet you prior to your event to work out all details, but we also have a wedding planner
form for you to fill out. It puts in writing the events you want so we have a detailed guide to work from the night
of your event. We are ALWAYS available to answer any questions you may have while planning your event.
Yes. We contact your banquet hall soon after we receive your contract to let them know we are the DJ's for your event.
We then contact them 7 to 10 days before your event to coordinate any details.
Yes. We typically set up meetings a month or so prior to your event. We often meet with a bride and groom
before they even sign the contract. Let us show you in person what we can do for you.
We can organize and execute almost anything. Typical wedding events include the first dance, father/daughter
and mother son dances, parents dance, grand march, wedding party dance, dollar dance, anniversary dance, and the
bouquet and garter tosses. However, we have done many other specialty dances upon request of the bride and groom.
Yes. We run state of the art equipment, but even new equipment can surprise you. We literally carry an entire
back up system to every show. We even carry two copies of our most important music. We have it on CD format and on a
laptop computer. You will never be left without entertainment due to a malfunction of equipment.
What do you want. Some brides and grooms want lots of interaction, some want very little. We cater to your wants.
Typically, we do interact with the guests. We feel its what makes the night memorable. Blaine is a more outgoing,
make-people-laugh entertainer. Eric, is more laid back. We compliment each other well. If you choose more interaction,
Blaine dominates the show. If you choose less interaction, Eric 'takes over.' Either way, its a great night.
Our goal is to have all the equipment set up and our sound check done before your guests arrive. However, every situation
is different due to space constraints. We will work with you and the banquet hall to work out a timeline of when
our equipment will be ready to go.
This is an excellent question. There are so many reasons why cocktail/dinner music is a good idea. First, it gives your
guests something to fill the awkward silence. Ever been stuck at that 'last' table where you don't really know anyone?
After you talk about the weather, jobs, and how lovely the bride looks in her dress, you get stuck for what to say next.
Music in the background helps in that situation. Second, it makes the night flow smoothly. Weddings rarely run on time.
If we are there for dinner music, we start the dance portion of the evening whenever you are ready for it. You don't have to
guess at the time. We start it when its appropriate. Third, we can help facilitate announcements. From the grand march,
to the cake cutting, to the blessing and the toasts; alot of activities are done before the first dance. With us there
for dinner music, we can help with those announcements and activities. Finally, there is no extra charge. With our
all-inclusive package, you never pay more for dinner music. It's a good idea at any cost, but an even better value when
its included.
If you have four or five songs that are 'extra' important to you, we want to know those. If you have songs you DON'T
want played at your reception, we want to know those as well. However, we don't need you to take the time and the effort
to create a playlist for the entire evening. In fact, its better if you don't. We don't know what songs we will play
throughout the night. We pick songs 'on the fly' based on how your guests react to other music we have played. If they
like 70's music, we'll play more of that. If they don't, we'll move on to other genre's. We have years of experience
'feeling' out crowds and using the vast collection of music we bring to keep the dance floor packed.
Absolutely! It is important to remember a couple of points about requests. First, your wishes are the most important to us.
If you wish for a song (or type of music) not to be played, we won't play those requests from your guests. We also make sure
that the request is played at the appropriate time.
Yes, but its normally not necessary. We have literally thousands of songs in our collection and access to millions more.
As long as we know ahead of time what you want, we can normally get it. If not, we'll let you know and you can bring it
on CD if you choose.
We bring a full list of our music to every show. You and your guests are welcome to look at it and make requests from it.
When picking out special music, we ask that you just list what you want. We'll find it for you.
Yes. If the ceremony is at a different location, there is a small charge to move the equipment. However, if you are
getting married at a location that doesn't have sound, we will gladly set up at your ceremony to provide music and
amplification. One added bonus is that our speakers aren't large bulky speakers that will stand out like a sore thumb.
They are simple, elegant looking speakers that blend in. We also bring a much smaller, easy to transport system that
is plenty for ceremony music, so its less bulky also.
Give us a call. We'll check our calendar and let you know immediately if we are available for your date. Or you can check via this
website to see if we're available for your event. Click here to find out!
We require a signature on a written contract and a deposit. The deposit is included in the cost of your event.
That locks us in for your date. We only take one booking per day and the first signed contract/deposit we receive
is the event we book.
Yes. We give discounts to military personel (must be the bride or groom), non-Saturday weddings, weddings during certain
months of the year, and a discount for paying your balance off when you sign the contract. If you have any questions
about our discounts, don't hesitate to ask.
