What time do you arrive to set up?
We usually arrive about one hour before the music is
to start. If you order our Club Light Package we'll
need to get there 1 1/2 hrs. before showtime, please
make sure we will have open access to facility.
2. Can you provide a Written Contract?
It's very important to have your date confirmed in
writing. Sound Wave provides a written contract for
every event.
3. Do we pay for set up time?
No, you pay only for the time the music starts,
until the music ends.
4. Do you act as a Master of Ceremony?

make all appropriate announcements and keep
everything going smoothly. We also offer this
service for other formal events.

A 10ft. X 10ft. space and an power outlet are all we
need!
We bring our own tables and table cloths.

the 60's, 70's, 80’s, thru to today's Top 40 Hits

will use our discretion as to the appropriateness
for the event.

the phone and you will have 7 days to send in your
deposit. After 7 days if we have not received your
deposit you’re booking will be cancelled.

to play?
Yep you sure can.
9. How many weddings do you do per year?
Approx 15-120
10. How early should I book?
As early as you can! Since we never like to let
anyone down, our availability is sometimes limited.

is not to soon! (Saturday evenings full especially
fast).

back?
In order to get your deposit back, we need a minimal
60 days WRITTEN notice. Otherwise, your deposit is
non-refundable.

Why should I use a DJ instead of a live band?
Quality: DJ's play the original music, the
way everyone knows it. Bands may play the same
songs, but they probably won't be as recognizable to
you and your guests and if they don't practice
regularly, they may not sound very good at all. DJ's
don't have to practice their music, it's from the
original artist!
Quantity: DJ's have thousands of songs
available with a very wide variety of music types,
bands usually know how to play less than 100 and the
variety is usually limited. Remember, you want all
your guests, young and old to have a good time.
Requests: DJ's can accommodate requests from
you and your guests most of the time. Most bands
don't take requests, except in advance, and cannot
play them if they don't know the song.
Versatility: DJ's can play the music for your
Ceremony, Cocktails, Dinner and Dancing, including
those special songs you want to hear. They also MC
events, like cake cutting, toast, first dance and
the bouquet/garter toss. Bands have to learn those
special songs.
Availability: Bands take breaks, usually 15
minutes every hour which means you may lose some
guests before all the important events are done.
Peter makes sure the music never stops, so your
guests can keep dancing all night long and will mix
in the events throughout your reception.
Non-Stop Music: DJ's play music non-stop,
usually 'mixing' from one song to the next. Bands
end each song, then pause while they decide which
song to play next. This 'breaks up' the dancing
after every song.
Volume: We periodically check the sound
levels, from the audiences perspective, so the music
is never too loud or too quiet. Bands usually end up
playing too loud because they cannot perform
'in-the-audience' checks because they must stay
onstage.
In short, a Disc Jockey provides you with the widest
range of quality sound and non-stop music for a
bargain price.
