FAQ's

Do you play requests?
Yes. The bride and groom (or person putting on the event) can let us know ahead of time any songs or types of music that they do and do not want to hear. We also take requests from the crowd. We make announcements throughout the night letting your guests know they are welcome to make requests.

What type of music do you play?
We play a variety of danceable music from 50’s –today’s hits and we try to play a little bit of everything throughout the night. The actual play list varies at every event, dependent on the requests you have made, requests from your guests and what is keeping the people out on the dance floor.

Do you have edited ‘clean’ versions of songs?
Yes, a lot of today's dance music is not clean and we obtain the edited versions of those songs. This is a must for school dances.

What is your attire?
Our DJ’s dress stylishly appropriate for the event.  Since we are trying to break the mold of the typical “cheesy” wedding DJ, we try to avoid wearing Tuxedos.  However, if you so require, your DJ can wear one. One note to mention…our DJ’s may show up in “plain” clothes for setup.  Please do not be alarmed if you catch a glimpse of them during setup, as it is sometimes a dirty job and not comfortable to be wearing nice dress clothes to make all the system setup connections, etc.

What type of equipment (sound, lights, and video) do you have?
We have professional audio gear from top companies such as: Pioneer, Rane, JBL, Mackie, and Shure.

Is a gratuity required? / Is tipping allowed?
A gratuity is never required.  If you feel the DJs at your event did an excellent job and you want to tip them please do so, it is always appreciated.   Also feel free to comment on our DJs performance by leaving a testimonial here on our web site.

Do you have back-up DJs in case of emergency?
Since MT Sounds is a professional DJ company (vs. a single DJ) we do have a staff of DJs we can call upon in case of emergency.

What happens if equipment fails during an event?
We always bring backup equipment to every event large or small.

How long have you been in business?
We have been in business since 1992

Do you charge for travel?
If your event is in the Phoenix or Denver area, there is no charge for travel. If your event is over 30 miles from the metro areas, there will be an extra charge. Please call for additional details. 

How many events have you performed at?
Since starting business in 1992 we have performed at over 1,800 events.

Do you perform a lot of weddings?
Wedding receptions make up 90% of our business.

Do you perform at smaller in-home parties?
Yes, we have performed for basement, garage and backyard parties. Contact us with your specific needs and we will quote you a price.

May I see you perform at an event?
Most events we DJ are, of course, private parties and we honor the privacy of our clients, so in short, the answer is no.  We do have limited video available if you so desire to view.

How much do you charge?
Events vary greatly in regards to setup, sound system size, travel, lighting, and other variables.  Please call us to discuss your special event for an accurate price quote.

How long do you play? / Can we extend the dance?
We have a variety of packages for different events. We can play anywhere from 1 hour to 8 hours or more. With any package you can always add extra hours at your event - we don’t stop until you do.

Are you able to play continuous music? / Do you take breaks?
We do not take breaks, we keep playing until you are done!

Do you have karaoke?
Since we specialize in primarily weddings and dance parties, we do not offer karaoke.

When do you set up? How long does it take you to set up?
Unless otherwise specified we set up before your guests arrive. We allow ourselves 1 hour to set up but under normal conditions it does not take that long.

Is the set up and tear down time included in the hours we bought?
No, the hours you pay for are the hours we play music. We do not charge for set up or tear down.

Are there any special needs for your equipment?
Nothing special, all we need is a standard 8 ft. table for our equipment, and 1 smaller table either behind us or off to the side to hold our music and of course electricity.

What is your cancellation policy?
The $100.00 fee to reserve your date is not refunded if you cancel the event. If you have paid additional money above and beyond the initial fee, that money will be returned to you. If you wish to reschedule the event, we will work with you on that.

Do the DJ’s need to be fed at the wedding reception?
This is entirely up to you, it is not a requirement but since the DJs are the first ones to arrive and last one’s to leave, we do appreciate being allowed a meal. If allowed to eat and it is a buffet, our DJs wait until all of your guests have gone through before going through the line.
