What makes BPM Entertainment unique?

We firmly believe that every event, regardless of size, needs an in-depth level of customization and personalization. Our clients’ desires are the most important aspect of event consulting and we work to satisfy every detail, 100% of the time, without concession or compromise. While some Disk Jockeys and Masters of Ceremonies treat certain events with generic timelines, music selection, and scripts, BPM takes the time to personally meet with every individual client to ensure that every aspect of their unique experience is understood. We will take the time to ensure that every question is thoroughly answered and will walk every client through every step of our process. Nothing is out of the question!

What types of equipment do you use?

BPM Entertainment utilizes only professional grade sound reinforcement and lighting equipment designed to provide quality audio and visual effects for all indoor or outdoor venue sizes.

Do you provide a written contract?

At BPM Entertainment from the minute that we confirm your party, we will provide you with a written contract outlining the terms of your service. This is normally sent via email and we ask for you to sign and return it to the address in the header. If your party requires a deposit, we ask that it be sent back with the signed contract. It’s important to have a contract to guarantee your DJ services amd we would never suggest booking any DJ service without a written contract.

How do you price your DJ services?

As each event is unique, BPM creates party packages that reflect the unique needs of each function. Price varies based on a few important factors: the type of event, available and popular event dates, performance duration, and required sound and lighting equipment. Simply call us or fill out our online inquiry form to give us a few details of your unique event and we will consult with you on what package will perfectly fit your needs!

How long will our DJ play music?

The amount of time your DJ will play is totally up to you! Typically, most events span an average of 4-7 hours. If you are having a blast and want the DJ to play longer, you can purchase additional time on the day of the event at an hourly rate.

Once the contract and the deposit are received, the dates will be held indefinitely and guaranteed!

How far in advance do we need to book BPM Entertainment?

For all wedding services, we typically recommend booking at least one year in advance. For all other parties we suggest at least 1-6 months advance planning; however, if there is an imminent need for our entertainment consulting services, give us a call to inquire about our availability!

Does BPM charge for equipment setup and breakdown time?

No! Clients will be provided a contract with exact start and stop times of their particular event and will not be charged for any setup or breakdown efforts. Ample time will be allocated before all events to ensure a professional appearance before the first guest arrives.

How early will out DJ arrive to set up?

All BPM DJ’s will arrive at least 1.5 – 2 hours prior to the scheduled start time of your event unless custom arrangements are made. We strive to complete every setup, sound check, and verify all logistics well before the first guest arrives.

Can customize what music is play?

Absolutely! We strongly encourage that every client takes some time to think about their favorite music and how BPM Entertainment can mold and customize the event! For smaller parties we encourage submitting a list of ten to fifteen songs in advance so we can have a baseline of what you would love to hear; we will use those suggestions and tailor the playlist to your preferences. For weddings and other larger parties, BPM will provide a comprehensive song list that gives examples of the types of selections and genres that are available and we will provide our personal recommendations. We also encourage that clients consider which songs MUST and MUST NOT be played based on personal preference.

Will our DJ act as an Emcee during our event?

Yes! Your BPM Entertainment DJs will act as the Master of Ceremonies during your event. This is one of the services we offer that is essential to the success of your function.
