- What makes Colors of Sound different from other DJ services?
- How long have you been in business?
Colors of Sound has been in business since 1995. It has built it's reputation on quality service. Although experience is important, experience alone is not enough, it is a personal professional that makes the difference between a good DJ service and a great DJ service. - What kind of music do you have?
Some of everything. The majority of the music is directed at wedding receptions and dances—music that is danceable. Although no DJ can have every song in the world, Colors of Sound has over 7000 songs on digital media. At an average of 2 minutes 30 seconds per song, that would be almost 300 hours of music without ever playing the same song twice! The number of songs played during a wedding reception is 50 - 60. If certain music is required, discussed during our pre-event consultation meeting, we will find a way to get your special song played. I can also play your CDs if you so desire. - How far will you travel?
Colors of Sound routinely plays from Niles to Paw Paw to Sturgis to Goshen. Anywhere within a 1 hour drive from Constantine. Other travel beyond normal limits must be added to service price. - How much deposit do I have to give to reserve the date?
Colors of Sound requires 50% of the total cost to hold the date. The date is officially held when the payment is received. - What are payment terms?
Colors of Sound requires 50% of the total service cost to hold the date. Balance is requested 2 weeks prior to service, but not required. Remaining balance is required before the event officially begins. - What are some payment options for the remaining balance?
Payments can be taken weekly, monthly, or all at once. The balance must be paid in full before the reception officially begins. Payment by check is preferred, but can also be taken by credit card or cash. - What time will you arrive?
Typically, depending on location, I arrive 2 hours before the first scheduled guests arrive. - How long does it take to pack up to leave?
Typically, depending on location, I am gone within 45 minutes of quitting time. - Do you need a setup table?
No. Colors of Sound is fully self supporting by having it's own set up booth, which gets many complements. It is more compact than regular tables which allows for more room for DANCING! - Will you eat?
Maybe, if allowed by the client and there is time for a quick break, I will try to eat. I am very busy during the reception time coordinating with other wedding professionals. - Will you stay late if requested?
Yes, if the reception hall allows and the party is in control. Overtime is an on-site rate of $80 an hour. - Will you dismiss tables for dinner?
Yes, of course. This is discussed during the wedding pre-event consultation. I have many suggestions on methods that we can dismiss guests to eat. - Will you make announcements?
Yes, of course. This is part of any Professional DJ service. - Will you take requests?
Yes, of course. Unless hiring party requests that music requests not be taken
I personalize every service based on your preferences, after all, it is YOUR special day. I do not run "my show" at your wedding or event. I personally take the time to meet with the bride and groom for a Pre-Event Consultation meeting where we discuss order of events, songs to be played, styles to be used, any special requests, etc. Colors of Sound is owned and operated by Don Munro. Unlike most other DJ services, Colors of Sound is a single system, which means that when you book with Colors of Sound, you will be getting Don Munro as the DJ. Most other services have multi-systems; you may or may not know who your DJ will be. Colors of Sound goes the extra mile for YOU!
