   What is your price?

A better question is "What Value Does A Professional Disc Jockey Provide To Your Wedding?"

Because each event is different and our services are customized to your exact needs, we ask that you call us toll-free 1.800.221.5925, or contact us so that we can get in touch with you and provide a knowledgeable detailed quotation and an affordable price. We are a professional, full-time business dedicated to success: yours and ours. We're certain that you wouldn't chance such a memorable occasion to an amateur. Rather than a quote based solely on the price, we'd rather talk about your exact needs. But it all starts with YOU making a phone call or filling out a Request For Entertainment Information Form. 

In our opinion, any DJ that quotes blindly isn't really paying attention to the details of your event. We are not selling you a "CHEAP PRICE" or offering "AVERAGE" service for the "AVERAGE" price. We ARE offering excellent service and our commitment to your event. Contact us today - without obligation or a high-pressure sales pitch.

   So, if "PRICE" is NOT the first question then what questions should I be asking?

Most have NEVER hired a DJ before and really either think that ALL are the same or just don't know what else to ask.  That's why we created this page.  Some of the most important questions are asked here.  So please review this page.  Here are a few other questions that you should ask:

Are you any good?  See our references.

What's your secret for getting people on the dance floor?

Why will MY reception be a party that my friends will talk about for years?

Do you download your music or are they legally obtained from the record companies?

We ask that you call us toll-free 1.800.221.5925, or contact us so that we can answer these and many more of your questions. 

   How long has the disc jockey company been in business?

Atmosphere Productions has celebrated over 30 years of experience in the music business with Sylvester Samuels performing in his first professional event in Gloucester, England in the summer of 1978.

  What format does the disc jockey play, CD or MP3?

Our primary source is 320kbs MP3 music files on Apple Computers and our sound systems carry DVD/CD players as back-up. All our music is legally obtained from the record companies via Promo Only and Radio Programming & Management.  A small list is avaiable on our Top Hits page. Our available digital database (CD's & MP3's) contains over 40,000 selections..... and we always take requests. You select ...we'll play it!!! When you book with us, we can provide you with our FREE Customized Music Service. Our entire database is available to our clients in our Client Area. That's an added VALUE of our service.

  Does the disc jockey wear a tuxedo?

Yes, we wear a full tuxedo to all events. When we look good.... you look good!

  Can we see you perform at your next event?

Yes.... IF YOUR AN INVITED GUEST!! Due to our privacy policy and the safety and security of our clients, we do NOT have prospective clients interview us at a current clients event. We respect our clients privacy, so please be careful of other companies who use this unethical practice. You can meet and interview the actual DJ for your event. You can also see our portfolio of references, and view on-line our video introduction and video clips in the comfort of your home. Meetings are scheduled by appointment only: Monday to Friday - Daytimes; Monday to Wednesday - Evenings. NO MEETINGS: Thursday or Friday Evenings or anytime Saturday or Sunday.

  Does the disc jockey company offer a personal consultation before the event?

Yes. You can meet the actual DJ for your event and review all details prior to your event. Many of our clients prefer to use our on-line forms in our Client Area, to plan and prepare for their events. Once we get all your paperwork, we can review all your details by phone or e-mail. It's FREE... it's EASY and it's an added VALUE of our service.

  Does the disc jockey company have qualified back-up people to fill in if the disc jockey is ill?

Yes. We are also certified members of The DJ Network.

 Does the disc jockey have back-up equipment?

Yes. Our back-up equipment is built within our systems . We use only the latest in professional disc jockey digital technology. Some of our systems contain wireless remote broadcast technology and "powered speakers" (amplifiers built into the speakers) for added security. We always carry another full system as back-up in case of a serious malfunction. That's an added VALUE of our service.

  Who controls the volume?

You do! You'd be amazed at how many entertainers believe more is better! The main reason some entertainers crank the volume up so high is because they don't have the greatest sound equipment. Sheer volume helps to cover up their fuzzy sound. We provide you with superior, balanced, crystal clear sound. With us, you control the volume according to your desires.

  How many hours will the disc jockey play?

It may take 12-16 hours to properly plan, design and perform a wedding reception. Our Wedding Packages have a minimum of FIVE hours of continuous performance music on the day of your event.  We have four hour packages available for Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, Corporate Events, Birthday, Holiday Parties, and Anniversaries.  

  Does the disc jockey company use a contract?

Yes. All events will have a full written contract and we will provide you with a Certificate of Liability Insurance for your protection. As added security Atmosphere Productions LLC is registered with The State Of Connecticut as a Limited Liability Corporation. That's an added VALUE of our service.

  Does the disc jockey use a wireless microphone?

Yes, we use Sennheiser UHF wireless microphones, for use during the Blessing, Toast and any other speeches or special events. If you contract us to provide sound reinforcement for your Ceremony, we will also use our wireless broadcast technology. Depending on the package you choose the disc jockey will also interact with audience and assist with participation dances, all while using a wireless microphone.

  Will the disc jockey coordinate the event?

Yes. You don't need to spend extra money for a Wedding Coordinator or an Event Planner -- We do this for FREE!! That's an added VALUE of our service.  It may take 12-16 hours to properly plan, design and perform a wedding reception.  We provide you with a planner to complete prior to your event and will coordinate the details with the Photographer, Videographer, facility or caterer on the day of the event.

  Will the disc jockey be professional at all times?

Yes. Our performance will be elegant and classy. We will never embarrass YOU, YOUR GUEST or OURSELVES! We DO NOT dress up in silly costumes or become the center of attention. Your day is a special day of elegance and sophistication.....our performance will reflect your tastes. That's an added VALUE of our service.

  Should I Tip Our Disc Jockey?

We leave that up to you. After all tipping is a personal choice. If you feel your entertainment staff did an exceptional job, just as with any service provider, 10-20% is the norm. But it's entirely up to you.

   I've lost/can't find copies of the Bridal Planning Forms. Can I get more copies?

Yes. We have the forms stored as PDF Files or you can complete our ON-LINE FORM. Please go to the "CLIENT AREA", then select the download link from the menu.
