A lot of times folks have never booked a dj and have no idea what it entails. Each company has their own way to respond to dj inquiries. For Black and White Affair we tend to handle everything quickly. Setting up an event for the planner at times is like a second job since there is so much to do. Time is of the essence and we believe to respond asap no matter what time it is. Usually people will do an email and respond as quickly as we get it.
A lot of times folks do not know what to ask. They will just say, “Hey Dj, We have a wedding on the 6th of November and how much does it cost?”
To get a proper quote the dj has to know how many hours and if is going to require 2 or 3 music set ups. For example if the dj is doing the ceremony then it has to have its own set up. Then another set up for the cocktail hour if its else where from the reception. Then the reception will need a set up. Also it it good to let the dj know how many folks will be there so the dj will know how many speakers s/he will need for the event.
Once all the details are given then we send the quote. If the client likes the quote then they will proceed. Then Black and White Affair will send an agreement in which the client signs then sends a deposit to secure the date.
